Squaring a number ending in 5 Eg = 7 x 8 and 5 2 = 56 and 25 = 5625 (N5) 2 = n x (n+1) and 5 2 = n x (n+1) and 25 = n(n+1)25

Squaring a number between 30 and 70 Eg = 27 and 2 2 = 2704 [27 : 25+2] [04:2places for 4] 59 2 = ? 63 2 = ? 59 2 = 34 and 9 2 [34 : 25+9] [81:2places for 81] = = 38 and 13 2 [38 : 25+13] [169:2places for 169] 169 = 38 = 3969

Squaring a number between 30 and 70 Eg = 23 and 2 2 = 2304 [23 : 25-2] [04:2places for 4] 47 2 = ? 39 2 = ? 47 2 = 22 and 3 2 [22 : 25-3] [04:2places for 9] = = 14 and 11 2 [14: 25-11] [121:2places for 121] 121 = 14 = 1521

Squaring a number between 80 and 120 Eg = 106 and 3 2 = [06 : two x 3] [09:2places for 9] = [14 : two x 7] [49:2places for 7x7] = = 124 = ANSWER

Multiplying 2 numbers between 80 and x 98 = 98 ( -2 : less than 100) 97 ( -3 : less than 100) = 9506 [95 : : ] [06:2places for 6] 91 x 97 = 91 ( -9 : less than 100) 97 ( -3 : less than 100) = 8827 [88 : : ] [27:2places for 6] 91 x 97 =

Multiplying 2 numbers between 80 and x 112 = 107 ( 7 : morethan 100) 112 ( 12 : more than 100) = [19 : 7+12 : ] [84: 7 x 12] 103 x 115 = 103 ( 3 : more than 100) 115 ( 15 : more than 100) = [18 : : ] [45 : 3 x 15] 103 x 115 =

Squaring a number between 80 and 120 Eg = 106 and 3 2 = [06 : two x 3] [09:2places for 9] = [14 : two x 7] [49:2places for 7x7] = = 124 = ANSWER

55 times 55 = ??? 55 2 = 5 x 6 and 5 2 = 30 and 25 = 3025

55 times 75 = ??? 55 x 75 = 5 x and 5 2 = 41 and 25 = 4125

Multiplying 2 mixed numbers with the same units and fractions adding to 1 ANSWER

Multiplying a number ending in digits that add to 10 Eg 75 x 75 = 7 x 8 and 5 x 5 = 56 and 25 = 5625 (as before) 84 x 86 = ? 84 x 86 = 8 x 9 and 4 x 6 = 72 and 24 = 7224

Squaring 2 digit numbers Eg 73 2 = 76 x = = 5329 or 73 2 = (70 x 3) = (210) + 9 = 5329 (ab) 2 = (a+b)(a-b) + b 2 or (ab) 2 = a 2 + 2(a+b) + b 2
