Solving a Cluster Problem

Solve the three multiplication cluster problems. Then solve the final problem. Explain how you solved the final problem, including which equations from the cluster helped you.

  • 1 Cluster: 7 × 3 =

    7 × 30 =

    7 × 4 =

  • 2 Final problem: 7 × 34 =

  • 3 How did you solve 7 × 34?

NOTE

Students practice solving clusters of familiar multiplication problems, which can help them solve a related problem with larger numbers.
