The Grid Method - Multiplication By Harry Maurice And Oliver Amos
Why it is useful 1.It is straight forward so if you make a mistake you can see where you went wrong. 2.It is quick and easy. 3.There is not much to slip up on.
Starting off X x 123 First partition each number like this.

It’s easy as 1…2…3!!! So just follow these 3 easy steps and you can solve any multiplication (it doesn’t just have to be 2 or 3 digit numbers).
