Chapter 1 - Lesson 1 - Multi-Digit Multiplication
Lesson Opener:
The Circle of Mathematicians of 123 Elementary School solicits notebooks to be donated to the
schools in the far-flung area of a certain municipality. They collected a total of 232 packs of notebooks.
If each pack contains 12 notebooks, how many notebooks did the organization collect?
Let’s Focus:
To visualize the problem, we can draw 232 packs with 12 notebooks each. But drawing these
will take us time. Instead, we can simply put this into multiplication sentence as 232 x 12 = N.
We can write the factors vertically to easily perform the operation as shown below:
232
X 12
Let us first recall the terms involved in multiplication. Factors are the numbers which we
multiply. Product is the answer which we get in multiplication.

Step 1: Multiply the ones place of the multiplicand by the ones place of the multiplier.

Step 3: Multiply the hundreds place of the multiplicand by the ones place of the multiplier.

Step 4: Multiply the ones place of the multiplicand by the tens place of the multiplier.

Step 5: Multiply the tens place of the multiplicand by the tens place of the multiplier.

Step 6: Multiply the hundreds place of the multiplicand by the tens place of the multiplier.

Step 7: Add the partial products.
232
x 12

+ 232
2784
Therefore, the Circle of Mathematicians donated 2 784 notebooks.
Properties of Multiplication:
1. Commutative Property: a x b = b x a
It states that the order of the factors does not change the product, that is, it does not matter if
you multiply 5 x 2 or 2 x 5, the result will always be the same, 10.

2. Associative Property: a x b x c = a x ( b x c) = (a x b) x c
It states that, in a series of consecutive multiplication, the order in which their factors are
multiplied makes no difference. So, to multiply 3 x 2 x 5 would be the same as solving 3 x ( 2 x 5), it will
always result to 30.
3. Distributive Property: a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c
It states that multiply a number by a sum or subtraction is the same as multiplying that number
by adding or subtracting and adding or subtracting that results.

Example: 232 x 12 = N
12 can be renamed as 10 + 2
So, our new equation is 232 x ( 10 + 2) = N
232 x (10 + 2 ) = n
232 x 10 + 232 x 2
2320 + 464 = 2, 784
Example: 232 x 12
10 2
2000 400

300 60 30
20 4 2
Add:
2,000 + 400 + 300 + 60 + 20 + 4 = 2 784
