MLC Partial Product Finder

The application presents multiplication problems through a visual array model, where each combination is represented as a rectangle with dimensions corresponding to the factors. Users can split arrays into smaller sections to demonstrate partial products, supporting the distributive property of multiplication.

The tool includes adjustable settings for array dimensions, colour coding, and labelling options, enabling teachers and pupils to construct and decompose multiplication models on screen. Developed by The Math Learning Center, a non-profit organisation based in Oregon, United States, the Partial Product Finder forms part of a wider suite of free mathematics apps designed to align with primary and elementary curriculum approaches.

It is accessible through web browsers and is also available as a downloadable application for iOS, Android, Windows, and Chromebook devices. The resource is commonly used in classroom instruction, independent pupil practice, and home learning contexts to support the teaching of multi-digit multiplication concepts.
