My daughter introduced this method of multiplying that students in Japan learn. It is very visual and might be of benefit to students who are struggling with the approach we typically take in North America. This approach still requires some understanding of Place Value. I will post a link to a You Tube video so you may see what I am talking about.
This blog began in Room 52 at AMG Junior and Senior Public School in 2011. This site has followed me to a few schools since then and now joined the roster of retired blogs in the social media universe. The journey and reflection will continue in different and exciting spaces. Room 52 remains one of the most significant places of teaching and learning for me and grateful to the students and staff who supported me there. Thank you.

It takes a few tries to really get it, but it is kind of addicting.
