Multiplication - Whole Number 2 x 1 - Breakout (Level 2)
This math topic focuses on practicing multiplication of 2-digit whole numbers by a single-digit whole number using the breakout method, also referred to as the distributive property. It involves breaking apart the 2-digit number into tens and ones, then individually multiplying them by the single-digit number. Example problems range from multiplying numbers like 14, 16, and 26 by 3, requiring students to decompose these numbers into easier chunks to simplify the multiplication process. Each question offers multiple expression choices to select the correct breakout method. This skill is essential for understanding and mastering basic algebraic principles.
