Strategies for Larger Numbers

Mrs. Dewey then asked her class about numbers larger than 100. She said, “Do you think you can multiply a number that is larger than 100 by using the same strategies?”

She wrote these problems on the board for her students and asked them to solve the problems using whatever strategy they chose.

150 3 6 299 403 5
248 2 140 10 5 440

Here is what some of her students had to say.
