2. February 24, 2009 Section 3.3 – finish up multiplication Exploration 3.8 Homework Bring Class Notes again on Thursday

3. 3.3 (cont’d) Extend our pictorial models: Suppose I want to multiply 3 4.

4. 3.3 (cont’d) Extending pictorial models: Suppose I want to multiply 3 40. This is much harder to draw, but it can be done.

5. 3.3 (cont’d) Extending pictorial models: As the numbers get bigger, it is harder to draw in all the little dots. But the area model will work well: 3 40: 3 40

6. 3.3 (cont’d) Let’s look a little closer at the area model: Let this be a unit square – that is, a square that measures 1 unit on each side. Then, this is a representation for 7 15: 7 15

7. 3.3 (cont’d) Area Model: This is the same as 7 10 + 7 5 7 10 and 7 5 are “partial products”.

8. 3.3 (cont’d) Area Model: This idea works for larger numbers: 32 14 10 + 4 10 + 10 + 10 + 2

9. 32 14 Do you see 4 2? 4 30? 10 2? 10 30? Add the partial products. 3.3 (cont’d) 10 + 4 10 + 10 + 10 + 2

10. 3.3 (cont’d) You try: 46 23 (Use the base 10 blocks or draw a picture.) Now, can you explain where these products are in the diagram? 46 23 = (46 20) + (46 3) or = (23 40) + (23 6)

11. Can you explain how this is related to the lattice multiplication model you did for Exploration 3.13? Can you explain how this area model is related to the standard multiplication algorithm? Can you explain how this area model is related to the four students’ models? (Ryshawn, Nicholas, Jemea and Thomas) 3.3 (cont’d)

12. Ryshawn and Nicholas

13. Jemea 30 12 - 12 3.3 (cont’d)

14. Thomas 17 36 = ((17 10) 3)+ (6 10) + (6 7) 3.3 (cont’d)

15. Exploration 3.8 Part 2: Circle clocks

16. 3.3 (cont’d) Which property or properties make these statements true? Can you show or explain why? Give a reason? Draw a picture? 2 (3 14) = (2 3) 14? 2 (3 14) = (3 2) 14? 2 (3 14) = 3 (2 14) 2 (3 14) = 14 (2 3) 2 (3 + 14) = 2 3 + 2 14 2 (3 14) ≠ 2 3 2 14
