The Standard Algorithm

Connect partial products to the stacked method.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

The standard algorithm is a shorter way to write partial products. It puts each row of the area model on one line.
First, multiply 243 by the 6 in 36. That's 1,458. Those are the bottom row's parts, added together. When a place gets ten or more, you regroup it into the next place.
Next, multiply by the 3 in the tens place. That 3 really means 30, so write a zero first, to hold the ones place.
Add the two lines. It's the same answer again. You can use whichever method makes sense to you.
