Multiplication - Whole Number 2 x 2 - Column Breakout (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on the skill of multiplying two-digit whole numbers through a method known as "column breakout." It specifically targets 2 x 2 digit multiplication, encouraging learners to break down one of the numbers into tens and units to simplify the calculation and then add the partial products. Each problem presents a multiplication scenario where students must choose from multiple strategies for segmenting one of the numbers, fostering flexibility and deeper understanding of number manipulation in multiplication. There are seven different questions that each provide several ways to break apart one of the multipliers to clarify the learning objectives.
