3rd grade math · Unit 1: Multiplication and division

Times tens and hundreds

What this lesson shows

6 × 7 = 42, so 6 × 7 tens is 42 tens, 420, and 6 × 700 is 4,200.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 6 × 70. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Find the fact you know
  2. Say it in tens
  3. Say it in hundreds

Helping at home

Find the fact inside first: 6 × 70 holds 6 × 7. Then say the product in the place: 42 tens, or 42 hundreds, and write what that is. Never just add zeros.

If your kid gets stuck

Find the fact inside, then say it in tens or hundreds.
