Let's solve both multiplication problems using
partial products and
array models (also known as area models). We'll break down each two-digit number into tens and ones, then multiply each part separately.
---
🔷 Problem 1:
94 × 69
#### Step 1: Break down the numbers
- 94 = 90 + 4
- 69 = 60 + 9
We’ll use the
partial products method, multiplying each part:
- 90 × 60
- 90 × 9
- 4 × 60
- 4 × 9
#### Step 2: Calculate each partial product
1. 90 × 60 = 5,400
2. 90 × 9 = 810
3. 4 × 60 = 240
4. 4 × 9 = 36
#### Step 3: Add all partial products
```
5,400
+ 810
+ 240
+ 36
-------
6,486
```
✔ So,
94 × 69 = 6,486

📊 Array Model (Draw an array)
We draw a rectangle divided into 4 parts based on the breakdown:
```
| 60 | 9
--------|--------|-----
90 | 5,400 | 810
--------|--------|-----
4 | 240 | 36
--------|--------|-----
```
Each box represents one partial product:
- Top-left: 90 × 60 = 5,400
- Top-right: 90 × 9 = 810
- Bottom-left: 4 × 60 = 240
- Bottom-right: 4 × 9 = 36
Total area = sum of all boxes =
6,486

🔷 Problem 2:
89 × 56
#### Step 1: Break down the numbers
- 89 = 80 + 9
- 56 = 50 + 6
Now calculate partial products:
1. 80 × 50 = 4,000
2. 80 × 6 = 480
3. 9 × 50 = 450
4. 9 × 6 = 54
#### Step 2: Add all partial products
```
4,000
+ 480
+ 450
+ 54
-------
5,000 - wait, let's add step by step:
```
Add them:
- 4,000 + 480 = 4,480
- 4,480 + 450 = 4,930
- 4,930 + 54 =
4,984
✔ So,
89 × 56 = 4,984

📊 Array Model for 89 × 56
```
| 50 | 6
--------|--------|-----
80 | 4,000 | 480
--------|--------|-----
9 | 450 | 54
--------|--------|-----
```
Each box:
- 80 × 50 = 4,000
- 80 × 6 = 480
- 9 × 50 = 450
- 9 × 6 = 54
Sum = 4,000 + 480 + 450 + 54 =
4,984
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
94 × 69 = 6,486
2.
89 × 56 = 4,984
You can now fill in the blanks on your worksheet:
#### For 94 × 69:
```
94
× 69
----
5400 ← 90 × 60
810 ← 90 × 9
240 ← 4 × 60
36 ← 4 × 9
----
6486
```
#### For 89 × 56:
```
89
× 56
----
4000 ← 80 × 50
480 ← 80 × 6
450 ← 9 × 50
54 ← 9 × 6
----
4984
```
