*For partial products and expanded algorithm when multiplying a double-digit  by a single-digit number , the digits in the ones place are first multiplied and solved on the first line, then the one digit is multiplied by the tens and solved on the second line; they are then added as usual to solve.

We discussed strategies for isolating the numbers, finding what information is being requested, and determining the operation we need to do.
