Multiplying Two-Digit Numbers Algorithm POWERPOINT is a comprehensive and visually rich teaching tool that supports students in learning how to multiply two-digit numbers using the written algorithm method. With clear explanations and step-by-step modelling, this PowerPoint makes complex multiplication approachable and engaging.

The presentation walks students through the multiplication process, including what to do when regrouping is required. Each concept is supported by clear visuals and worked examples to ensure students can follow the strategy with confidence. A helpful flow chart is also included to give students a structured reference they can return to while solving independently.

This resource is perfect for use during whole-class modelling, small group instruction, or as a revision tool for upper primary students. It’s an essential part of your multiplication toolkit and pairs beautifully with the Multiplying by a One-Digit Number Algorithm POWERPOINT.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Use the written algorithm to multiply two-digit numbers accurately
• ✅ Understand and apply regrouping within the multiplication process
• ✅ Follow a clear sequence of steps using the provided flow chart
• ✅ Build fluency in multi-step multiplication strategies
• ✅ Apply place value knowledge to solve complex number problems

What’s Included:

• PowerPoint presentation featuring:
  • - Step-by-step examples of two-digit multiplication
  • - Visuals to support regrouping and digit alignment
  • - A student-friendly flow chart outlining the algorithm process
  • - Scaffolded practise problems for guided modelling

Materials Needed:

• PowerPoint-compatible device with slideshow mode
• Whiteboard or digital display for modelling
• Student notebooks or grid paper for alignment support

How to Use:

1. Open the PowerPoint and click through the slides in slideshow mode.
2. Model each step of the written multiplication algorithm with the class.
3. Use the visuals and flow chart to explain regrouping and alignment.
4. Pause for student practise using worked examples and partner discussion.
5. Encourage students to reference the flow chart as they attempt independent tasks.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during explicit teaching to introduce two-digit multiplication
• 💡 Assign to small groups for strategy practise and consolidation
• 💡 Display the flow chart in your classroom as a visual reference
• 💡 Use alongside manipulatives or base-ten blocks to support regrouping
• 💡 Encourage peer coaching with students explaining each step to a partner

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Use highlighters or colours to visually differentiate tens and ones
• 💛 Practise each digit position individually before combining for full multiplication
• 💛 Use grid paper to support alignment and spacing of digits
• 💛 Provide sentence starters like “First, I multiply…” to scaffold explanations
• 💛 Regularly revisit the algorithm using new problems for spaced practise

Multiplying Two-Digit Numbers Algorithm POWERPOINT provides students with the clarity and structure they need to tackle two-digit multiplication with confidence. With step-by-step examples and helpful visuals, it's the perfect classroom companion for building strong multiplication foundations.
