Split Strategy Multiplication
Split one factor into two easier parts. Multiply each part, then add the products.
Understand the strategy
For 6 × 4, split 6 into 2 + 4. Then calculate (2 × 4) + (4 × 4) = 8 + 16 = 24.
1.Complete the split: 10 × 3 = (6 × 3) + (___ × 3) = 18 + 12.

- (5 × 2) + (6 × 2)
- (5 × 2) + (5 × 2)
- (7 × 2) + (5 × 2)
