We have started to review the four operations. We have reviewed addition and subtraction and are currently working with multiplication. There are two processes (or algorithms) we are working with in math. The first (and probably the most familiar to parents) is what we refer to as "the old-fashioned" method. It is the way most of us learned multiplication. The second is partial products. Partial Products breaks the number down into ones, tens, hundreds, etc. and teaches each number to team up with another number and multiply. Students need to become fluent using one method.
