I find this method a bit long winded, all you really need for small multiplications are knowledge of your times tables and the properties of addition and multiplication. For example 36x12:
Ty you very much for you Vid it was very helpful in helping my child with his homework. i have one question, this seems like a lot more work then when i learned to do double digit multiplication? Not realy a question i guess but more like a statement.
I find this method of multiplication may be more work at first, but it condenses a lot the steps as opposed to the vernacular method. This is why it was such a godsend for me--because, as a child, I had trouble with sequencing.
I find this method a bit long winded, all you really need for small multiplications are knowledge of your times tables and the properties of addition and multiplication. For example 36x12:
36x12 = (30+6)x12 = 30x12 + 6x12 = (10x12)x3 + 6x12
That first step you can spot almost instantly with a little practice, and you could factorise this even further if you wanted, so..
10x12=120
3x120=360
6x12=72
360+72 = 432
