2 Digit x 2 Digit


There are several ways to find a product.  We learned 2 ways today; traditional and partial product. 
For the traditional method, I taught the students to say "OZTA" which stands for Ones, Zero, Tens, Add.  It helps them to not get lost in the process.
For partial product, the students write each number in expanded form and then multiply and then add the products.  They are taking the number apart and then putting it back together.
