Help with Multiplication

Happy Monday morning! I was thinking this weekend of ways to make students' lives easier. I know what you're thinking- don't they already have it made? With fantastic parents and teachers like us, who can argue! Well, I was thinking of ways to make their educational lives easier. I came across this technique to teach kids how to successfully multiply more than 1 digit and I thought I would pass it along. Kids love writing in different colors (those multicolor pens are a hit!) so this might encourage them when solving math problems (I'd use color pencils to start off). Here's the link if you'd like to check it out:
