      TEKS 4.4D: Multiply Using Strategies and Algorithms

      • Multi-Digit Multiplication

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can use strategies and algorithms to multiply up to a four-digit number by a one-digit number and a two-digit number by a two-digit number. ​

        Focuses On:

        • Using partial product to solve multi-digit multiplication problems
        • Using the standard algorithm to solve multi-digit multiplication problems
        • Solving multi-digit multiplication problems in context of real-world problems

        Builds On:

        4.4H:

        Solve with fluency one- and two-step problems involving multiplication and division, including interpreting remainders

        Next Level:

        5.3B:

        Multiply with fluency a three-digit number by a two-digit number using the standard algorithm

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to move students into multiplication fluency using the standard algorithm by bridging between partial product and the algorithm.


        The three instructional blocks in this lesson are partial products, standard algorithm and word problems.


        In the first instructional block students are introduced to the partial products strategy to solve multiplication problems. Students will practice breaking apart the place values of numbers in order to make multiplying easier.


        The second instructional block has students use the standard algorithm to solve multiplication problems.


        Finally, students will choose a method to solve real-world multi-digit multiplication problems in the third instructional block.


        Supported expressions and visual models are built into the lesson to support student understanding.

      • Using Multiplication Properties

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can use the properties of multiplication to multiply.

        Focuses On:

        • The commutative, associative, and distributive properties of multiplication

        Builds On:

        3.4H:

        Determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally

        Next Level:

        4.4H:

        Solve with fluency one- and two-step problems involving multiplication and division including interpreting remainders

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to help students recognize and use the properties of multiplication to solve problems. These concepts build deep understanding of how to use multiplication and division and prepare students for more complex concepts in algebra.


        The three instructional blocks are the commutative, associative and distributive property.


        In the first instructional block, students practice determining corresponding equations and solving multiplication problems using the principles of the commutative property.


        The second instructional block has students using the associative property to solve multiplication problems. Students practice regrouping expressions to make them easier to solve.


        The third instructional block introduces the students to the distributive property. Students are exposed to this property as a way to build the foundation for pre-algebra.


        Scaffolds and supports such as visual models and pictorial representations are built into the lesson to support student understanding.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do you teach Multiply Using Strategies and Algorithms to 4th graders?

      To teach Multiply Using Strategies and Algorithms to 4th grade Math students, start with concrete, hands-on models, then move to pictorial representations before abstract notation. TEKS 4.4D asks students to use strategies or algorithms, including the standard algorithm, to multiply up to a four-digit number by a one-digit number and to multiply a two-digit number by a two-digit number. Strategies may include mental math, partial products, and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties. Crystal Instruction's free ClearLessons for 4.4D walk through this progression with modeling, guided practice, and built-in checks for understanding, while the ClearSheets provide scaffolded practice. You can download both free on this page.
