How to use: https://youtu.be/zInhLWHadtc This product goes with a free TPT product that shows the "mouse method" to split a factor into two addends. You have to look at the array to see how it was split to know which addend to put in the mouse ears. Using the mouse ears is a fun way to show students how to split a factor into the addends. The next step is to multiply the factor by the new addends and then to add the product. See Free TPT Product here (copy & paste): https://rb.gy/jrycjy
