Patterns and Multiples of Ten

Product means 'multiplication'. The product of 2 and 3 is simply a way of writing: 2 x 3, where 2 and 3 are the factors and 6 is the product

If we add the same number of zeros to one of the factors and to the product, the statement remains true

If a zero already exists in the product, we need to keep it in the product as we add zeros

To find the product of 2 numbers, break the factors into two parts and then multiply separately

To find 32 x 40, divide 32 into 30 and 2 and then multiply both 30 and 2 by 40 and add the products

To multiply two digit numbers by a multiple of 10, multiply the number by ones and by the tens

To find 34 x 20, find 34 x 0 ones and then 34 x 2 tens. If we add the same number of zeros to one of the factors and to the product, the statement remains true
