Grade 4 - Multiplication - Standard Algorithm

In this video, we revisit the traditional multiplication algorithm—a strategy many of us are familiar with from our own school days. We walk through multiplying 42 by 36, emphasizing the importance of understanding place value as we break down the steps.

This method is efficient but relies on a solid grasp of multiplication concepts like the area model or partial products. The video also highlights the importance of checking your work with another strategy to ensure accuracy, making the traditional algorithm both a reliable and effective tool for solving multiplication problems.
