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 Alexander Muir PS in 2011. The year is now 2023 and I have retired from the TDSB as a classroom Teacher but remained connected to the world of Teaching and Learning in my current role with The University of Toronto Scarborough. So, while I may never find myself in Room 52, the name serves as homage to one of the school communities, central to my development as an Educator.

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