Grade 3 - Multiplication - Place Value Discs

In this video, we'll explore the place value disk strategy for multiplication, a method often used in Singapore math curriculums. This strategy helps students break down numbers based on place value, making it easier to visualize and understand the multiplication process. By creating groups of tens and ones, students can see how multiplication involves distributing these values across the factors.

This approach not only reinforces the concept of multiplication but also connects to the standard algorithm, helping students understand why they carry numbers when multiplying larger numbers. It's a powerful tool for building a deeper understanding of multiplication.
