What is multiplication?

Multiplication is repeated addition: 4 × 6 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24. The answer is the product.

  • × 10: move every digit one place left (add a 0): 37 × 10 = 370.
  • × 100: two places: 37 × 100 = 3 700.
  • Double and halve: 25 × 16 = 50 × 8 = 400.
Tap when you could tell someone without looking.

Long multiplication

  1. Multiply by the units.
  2. Multiply by the tens (write a 0 first).
  3. Add the rows.
Rule

34 × 26: 34 × 6 = 204; 34 × 20 = 680; 204 + 680 = 884.

Meerkat tip

Estimate first: 34 × 26 ≈ 30 × 30 = 900, so 884 makes sense.

Remember this and test yourself

Remember this: your summary
  • Multiplication is repeated addition; the answer is the product.
  • × 10: one place left; × 100: two places.
  • Long multiplication: units, then tens (with a 0), then add.
  • Estimate to check.

Write these points in your book. Read them again the night before the test.

Memory trick

A zero for the tens, two zeros for the hundreds.
