Model multiplying a two-digit number using the distributive idea: 13 × 4 = (10 × 4) + (3 × 4) = 40 + 12 = 52. Use an area/array split drawn on the board.
Then model sharing equally with no remainder: 48 gumnuts into 4 burrows = 12 each, linking it to 48 ÷ 4 and the known fact 4 × 12 = 48.
Together 1. 16 × 3 by splitting into 10×3 and 6×3.
Together 2. Share 56 gumnuts equally among 7 friends.
