Multiplication
Properties
Communitive Property
a*b=b*a
Associative Property
a(b*c)=(a*b)c
Identity Property
a*1=a
Distributive Property
a(b+c)=(a*b)+(a*c)
Models
Repeated Addition Model
Drawing out one number by the amount of another
4*3=4+4+4
Array/Area Model
Drawing a box with the height one number and the width the other, breaking them down to solve the area
Tree/Combinations Model
Partial Products
Like the traditional model except the zero is not dropped, the intagers are multiplied then added up at the end
Ratio Table
A table is drawn one number is slowing multiplied by smaller number until then other number is reached to easily find the answer
Division
Models
Number Bonding
Breaking down the larger number to multiples of the smaller one
1512/3 1512 can be broken down to 1500 and 12 which are easy to divide 3 by
Repeated Subtraction
Drawing the smaller number as whole pieces until the amount of them reaches the larger number
48/6 6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6
Using Multiplication
Area Model
Partial Quotients
Using the "long seven" method guess multiples and then subract to get easier numbers to work with
Ratio Table
Using the smaller number to find its multiples until the larger number is reached, a guess and check using mulitiplication
