Mathematics 4 | Saskatchewan Curriculum

(a)	Explain the strategy used to determine a product.
(b)	Explain the strategy used in a given solution to a product. For example: for 4 x 3, thinking 2 x 3 = 6 and 4 x 3 = 6 + 6 or 6 + 2 = 12 (halving and doubling) for 3 x 7 think 2 x 7 = 14 and 14 + 7 = 21 (doubling and adding one more group) for 9 x 6, think 10 x 6 = 60 and 60 – 6 = 54 (multiplying by ten and subtracting one group) knowing 2 x 6 = 12, then 4 x 6 = 12 x 2 = 24 (doubling) for 64 ÷ 8, think 8 x _ = 64 (relating division to multiplication) for 8 x 5, knowing that 5 x 5 = 25, and then skip counting by 5 three times to get 25 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 40.
(c)	Explain the property for determining the answer when multiplying numbers by one.
(d)	Explain the property for determining the answer when multiplying numbers by zero.
