Unpacked Content
Knowledge
Students know:
- How to compose and decompose numbers in a variety of ways using place value and the properties of operations.
- How to represent the product of two factors using an area model.
- Use strategies based on place value (partial products), the properties of operations, arrays and area models to represent a two digit factor times a two digit factor.
Skills
Students are able to:
