WALT: Use place value to work out multiplication problems
Description
Purpose: Our focus is to use different multiplication strategies to figure out three digit multiplication questions faster.
Process: At the moment we are focusing on the place value strategy. To start with, our maths group worked together to learn the strategy. Then we had a go by ourselves trying to use the strategy for each problem. We shared our answers back with the group to discuss what the answers were.
Learning: I learnt that at the start when you take of the zeros at the end you have to add it back on
Method:
1) Split 365 in 300, 60 and 5
2) Multiply 300 by 6, multiply 60 by 6 and multiply 5 by 6
3) Add those three numbers together.
4) There you have your answer.
Evaluation: I reckon I did really well at learning the strategy. This will help me with my big multiplication problems by using place value. I reckon I could of done a show me so people understand.

Wow I reckon you did well I reckon you could of added a bit more detail on the purpose. #Lachlan
