• Step 1: Partition the 2-digit number
• Step 2: Draw the multiplication grid. The bigger number goes
along the top – tens first, then units. The smaller number goes
along the side.
• Step 3: Multiply the 1-digit number by the tens in the 2-digit
number.
• Step 4: Multiply the 1-digit number by the units in the 2-digit
number.
• Step 5: Add together both of the multiplication answers. Write
