STEP-BY-STEP SOLVED EXAMPLES

Example 1: 59 x 3

First, multiply the ones: 9 x 3 = 27. Write the 7 in the ones place and carry the 2 over to the tens column. Next, multiply the tens: 5 x 3 = 15. Add the 2 you carried from the previous step (15 + 2 = 17). Write the 17 to the left of the 7. Final Answer: 177.

Example 2: 25 x 4

Start with the ones column: 5 x 4 = 20. Place the 0 in the ones spot and carry the 2 to the tens column. Then, multiply the tens: 2 x 4 = 8. Add the carried 2 to the product (8 + 2 = 10). Write 10 in front of the zero. Final Answer: 100.

Example 3: 42 x 3

Begin by multiplying the digits in the ones place: 2 x 3 = 6. Since there is no regrouping needed, move directly to the tens column. Multiply the tens: 4 x 3 = 12. Write the 12 next to the 6 in the answer space. Final Answer: 126.

TEACHER & PARENT TIPS

When introducing these problems to second graders, encourage them to use grid paper or draw vertical lines to keep their ones, tens, and hundreds columns perfectly aligned. Using color-coded pencils for "carried" numbers can also help visual learners track their steps more effectively. Use consistent terminology like "regrouping" to describe the process of moving values between place value columns. For beginners, it is often helpful to solve the first few problems together on a whiteboard, emphasizing that we always start from the right-hand column. Finally, remind students to check if their answers look reasonable by using mental rounding, such as rounding 59 to 60 before multiplying.
