In 4th grade, students have been working hard at mastering the important skill of multi-digit multiplication and division. These operations are important for students to eventually build off of in order to tackle advanced problem-solving and other concepts.
Not only are students working to master this skill, they are approaching problems through multiple strategies. Providing students with various methods to solve problems helps build a deeper understanding, versatility, and confidence. After being taught a strategy, students are given opportunities to practice each one. They are using this skill to work through story problems requiring multiplication and division.
