Partial Product Multiplication vs Tiny Human Rounding

Partial Products Multiplication helps students learn and practice the partial products multiplication method step by step. The app gives students a visual way to multiply numbers by breaking the problem into smaller partial products. The partial products are then added to find the final answer. Students can solve randomly generated problems or enter their own multiplication problems. The Partial Products Method: In the partial products method, each place value is multiplied separately. For example, in 39 × 24, the partial products are 36, 120, 180, and 600. These are then added together to get the final answer: 936. Teacher endorsements: “The math apps by Esa Helttula allow students to practice and reinforce the specific computation strategies taught in class, with as much or as little scaffolding as necessary. They also provide individualized feedback to each student, with an immediacy that is not always possible through pencil and paper practice.” — R. Zeni, Ecole Sandy Hill Elementary, Abbotsford, BC, Canada “There are students who see my examples who still need some guidance, and after using your app have said, ‘Now I get it.’ The feature of selecting possible solutions in each step helps some of my students who are still building their multiplication facts.” — Z. R. Prowell, Highlands Elementary, Edina, Minnesota, USA Easy to Use: The numbers are aligned automatically so students can focus on solving each step. After the student solves each partial product, the correct answer moves into the right place. If the student presses the wrong button, the answer appears above the keyboard but does not move.

Tiny Human Rounding is designed to allow students to practice rounding numbers at many levels. This app includes five different levels of play. The five levels require students to: *Round to the nearest one using decimals 
*Round to the nearest ten 
*Round to the nearest hundred 
*Round to the nearest thousand 
*Round to the nearest whole number Another dimension of play is students have the option of playing with or without a number line. This will give extra support for beginning learners or those who just need a little extra practice. Therefore, allowing for differentiation of learning styles. Students enter their name and the app keeps track of the number of games played as well as any mistake made. One quick look at the results page will help you know exactly what to keep practicing.
