{"product_id":"multiplication-equations","title":"Multiplication Equations","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Montessori Multiplication Equations give students 16 prepared equations to solve independently with the stamp game, bank game, or other base ten materials. Each equation has a four-digit multiplicand and a one-digit multiplier, so students work with units, tens, hundreds, and thousands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalf of the equations are static, and half are dynamic, with carrying. Students build the multiplicand as many times as the multiplier shows, slide the quantities together, and find the product.
