How to teach this

Insist on the order: multiply, then add the carry. A child who adds first gets a wrong tens digit every time. Estimating first (34 × 6 is about 30 × 6 = 180) catches most slips. When this is fluent, the double-digit page is the next step.

Watch for: Kids add the carry before multiplying the tens (2 + 3, then × 6) instead of after (6 × 3, then + 2). Multiply first, then add the carry. Kids write the whole 24 under the ones column. Only the 4 stays; the 2 is carried.
