Contents
Age
6-9.
Materials
- Checkerboard
- Box of numeral cards 1-9, gray and whit
- Box of bead bars 1-9, 55 of each
Preparation
Propose a problem: 4357 x 23 =
Presentation
1st level
- Form the multiplicand by using the white cards placed on the appropriate numerals on the bottom edge of the board. (7 is placed on 1, 5 is placed on 10, etc.)
- Form the multiplier using the gray cards placed on the appropriate numerals on the right edge of the board.
- Begin multiplying with the units.
- First we take 7 three times.
- Place 3 seven bars on the unit square.
- 5 x 3place 3 five bars on the tens square.
- 3 x 3place 3 three bars on the hundreds square.
- 4 x 3place 3 four bars on the thousands square.
- Keep a finger on the digit of the multiplicand to remember your place.
- Notice that there are three of each quantity in this row. Why? because the multiplier is 3.
- Since we have finished multiplying by the units, we can turn over the gray card.
- Continue multiplying by the tens noting the value of each square (this emphasis is important): tens multiplied by units give tens, tens multiplied by tens gives hundreds, etc.
- Notice that 2 dominates the row. Turn over the card.
- Move the bead bars of the upper row along the diagonal to the bottom row.
- Beginning with units make changes to total the product, carrying over as necessary, i.e. the bead bars in the ten square total 3131 tens.
- How do we express 31 tens in conventional language? Three hundred ten. So, place a unit bead in the ten square, and a 3 bar in the hundred square.
- Read the total and record the product.
2nd level-Small Multiplication
- Set up the board with the numeral cards using the proposed problem.
- Begin multiplying with the units, but this time only put out the bead bars for the product.
- 7 x 3 = 21 put a unit bead in the unit square, 2-bar in tens.
- 5 x 3 = 15 5-bar in tens square, unit in hundreds.
- 3 x 3 = 9 9-bar in the hundred square.
- 4 x 3 = 12 2-bar in thousands, unit in ten thousands.
- Turn over the gray card. Continue with the tens.
- Move the bead bars along the diagonal in the end.
- Make the necessary changes and read the final product.
3rd level-Partial Products
- Multiply in the same way as before (2nd level).
- After everything in the multiplicand has been multiplied by the units, make the necessary changes in that row and record the partial product.
- Continue with the tens, etc.
- After all of the partial products have been recorded, move the bead bars along the diagonal to the bottom row.
- Make the changes and read the total product.
4th level-Mental Carrying Over
- The procedure is different from the 3rd level only in that the child carries mentally.
- 7 x 3 = 21 put the unit bead down, remember 2...5 x 3 = 15plus 2 = 17. etc.
- The partial product is read without making any changes.
Control Of Error
