Teacher Instructions:

Teachers/parents are invited to use this Multiplication video as a fun introduction to multi-digit Multiplication, leading into conceptual follow-up discussions of WHY the “turtle egg” (the Zero) is needed:

• Guide students in reflecting on previous learning involving place value. 
• Pause the video and ask students to identify the true value of each digit represented in each problem.  
• Ask: If the bottom number has a “3” in the tens place, what are we actually multiplying by?  (30)
• Ask, “Why is the ZERO (the turtle egg) needed?”
