ULTIPLICATION
STRATEGIES
:
When multiplying two or more numbers together,
sometimes it is easier to break them up and then put
them back together
One strategy tha
t we can use is to multiply 5 by 2 to
make 10
When
multiplying any number by 10, we just add a
zero
at the end of the number

TRATEGIES
:
Split each number down to a product of as many integers
as possible
When you multiply a group of integers, the order does not
matter, so you can move them around
Multiplying each 5 and 2 makes 10 (easy to multiply)
Leave the “2’s” to the end because it’s easy to double a
number

…
When multiplying by 9, 99, 999, or 9999’s, convert the
number to ten, hundred, or thousand and then subtract
one
This
is because multiplying by 1, 10, 100 and 1000 are
fairly easy. The only challenge is subtracting the
product afterwards
