Multiply It!
24 x 7
168
0.15 x 5
0.75
This is a number we multiply another number by.
Factor
This is the traditional way of multiplying two factors, where we line one number on top of the other.
Standard algorithm
If DeAndre Swift rushes 70 yards per game, how many yards will he likely have during the entire 17 game season?
1,190 yards
35 x 13
3.84
This is the answer to a multiplication problem (what you get by multiplying two or more factors)
Product
This is like the standard algorithm, except we do not regroup. Instead, we write out each answer and add them all up to get the final product.
If Kyle Monangai rushes 41 yards per game, how many yards will he rush in 16 games?
656 yards
62 x 36
2232
3.5 x 23
80.5
This is a letter you use to represent a number in a math equation that you have not found yet.
Variable
This is where we use boxes to represent partial products and then add them up at the end
Area model
If Caleb Williams averages 1.45 touchdowns per game, how many touchdowns will he have at the end of the 17 game season?
24.65 Touchdowns!!!
365 x 25
9125
2.7 x 6.7
18.09
This is what we call the answer to a division problem (what we get when we divide one number by another number)
Quotient
This is what we call the strategy of using our reasoning to figure out where to place the decimal after multiplying decimals.
Number sense
If the Bears score an average of 26.3 points per game, how many points will they have at the end of the 17 game season?
447.1
444 x 235
104340
0.45 x 0.78
0.351
This is the number we divide in a division problem. Ex. the 6 in 6 / 3 = 2
Dividend
This is what we use to make sure our answer makes sense. It involves thinking deeply and challenging the thoughts that we have and making sure they are logical
Critical thinking/critique of reasoning
For every pass Caleb Williams attempts, he completes 0.592 of them. How many completions does he average if he attempts 33 passes per game? Round to the nearest tenth of a pass completion.
19.536 (19.5) pass completions
