Write after the answer 5 after the equals
7 x 8 = 5
Multiply the circles -3 x -2 = 6
Write 6 next to the 5. Your answer is:

Multiplying Larger Numbers
Let's try 123 x 45:
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
x 45 x 45 x 45 x 45
4000 5300 5520 5535
Follow the easy one-line pattern above for paperless multiplication!
Starting on the left going to right. Keep adding the new collection of numbers to get a new total.
Round numbers above 10 for easier working out and less errors.
x
criss-cross multiplication Using reference number 10
14 x 14 =
10 +4
14 + 4 = 18
Write after the equals 14 x 14 = 18
Multiply 18 x 10 (ref no.) = 180
Multiply the circles 4 x 4 = 16
Add up totals: 180 + 16 = 196

shortcut
8 56 10
1. Ask what is 10 take away 8. Write the
answer 2 in a circle
2. Add the 2 to the 10s digit 5. 2+5 = Write the answer 7.
Take away 7 from 10
To get the 3 in circle.
3. Multiply the numbers
in the circles. 2 x 3 = 6
4. Take away 6 from the 6. The remainder
is 0. The answer is 7.

13 1390
Floating division in one line. . .
1390 G 13
7. Float the 3 in the 13 and put a decimal point after the 9.
1. Divide the 1 into 1 of 139. 1 G 1= 1. Write 1 in the
answer.
2. Now multiply the floating 3 with 1
3. in the answer. 3 x 1 = 3.
4. 3 - 3= 0. Write 0 in the answer.
5. 9 G 1= 9. Put aside. Multiply
floating 3. 3 x 9 = 27
6. 9 – 2.7 = 6.3
How many 1’s in 6.3?
6 remainder 3. Write 6 in the answer.
You can keep going until your
remainder Is zero.

CASTING 9’s
If correct working out Answer &
Question will = the same substitute
number
1. Add all the numbers together in the question until there’s one number. This is our SUBSTITUTE. NUMBER.
2. (1 + 4 = 5) x (1 + 5 = 6) =
6 x 5 = 30.
Now add that answer to get one number 3 + 0 = 3
10
210 2 + 1 + 0 = 3
14 x 15 =
210
+ 6
+ 5
Correct! Isn’t that easier than doing
the whole sum again?
Now add the digits in the answer
