First, I've put together some resources to review multiplication further. I formed small groups based on multiplication levels and relearned partial products and the multiplication area model. This step was crucial. The student would gain no knowledge about volume if all his brain power were used worrying about multiplication.

We need to stop and review the skills that students lack to be
