Multiplication - Whole Number 3 x 2 - Column Breakout (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on the skill of multiplying whole numbers using a method known as "column breakout," specifically with 3-digit by 2-digit multiplication. The practice involves breaking down one of the digits (generally the two-digit number) and using distributive properties to simplify the multiplication process. Each question presents a multiplication problem where a two-digit number is broken into parts—either as tens and ones or other combinations. The students need to select the correct breakdown and resultant multiplication expressions from various options provided. This method helps in understanding and performing multi-digit multiplication more efficiently.
