problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students use rectangular diagrams and similar reasoning as in earlier activities to represent the multiplication of 2 two-digit numbers. They analyze a progression of diagrams, starting with those that represent multiplication of two-digit and one-digit numbers (18 and 6), a two-digit number and a ten (18 and 10), and then 2 two-digit numbers (18 and 16).
Students may decompose factors in different ways. For example, those who are familiar with multiples of 25 may find it intuitive to decompose
\(25 \times 46\)
as
\(25 \times 40\)
and
\(25 \times 6\)
, rather than decomposing 25 into
\(20 + 5\)
.

Activity Synthesis
Select two students to share their diagrams, solutions, and reasoning for the last problem.
“How did you decompose the factors and the diagram?” (I decomposed the 13 into 10 and 3 and the 21 into 20 and 1.)
“What expression could we write to show the partial product represented by each part of the diagram?”
“How do these partial products help us find the value of
\(13 \times 21\)
?” (Adding them gives us the value of
\(13 \times 21\)
:
\(200 + 10 + 3 + 60 = 273\)
)
