Seek The Multiplication Treasure

Copy this problem. Multiply the factors in the top row by the digit in the ones place in the second factor. 342 x x Since 4 3=12 Carry the 1 and write down the 2 10 Multiply 3 2Multiply 4 3Multiply

Now you will multiply the top factor by the tens digit in the second factor. In this problem, you multiply by the 2 in the tens place or x x

Since the 2 actually represents 2 tens or 20, we will want to put a zero in the ones place in the second row of our work before we multiply anything else. 342 x x

Multiply the 2 times every digit in the top factor and write the answer in the second row below the line. 342 x x

To check to see if you are ready to add, count the number of digits in the second factor. 342 x x There are two digits in the second factor. 6

Since there are two digits in the second factor there should be two rows of numbers to add to get the product. 342 x x There are two digits in the second factor. 6 one two

Since the number of digits matches the number of rows, we now add the rows together to get the product of the original problem. 342 x x There are two digits in the second factor. 6 one two +

Since the number of digits matches the number of rows, we now add the rows together to get the product of the original problem. 342 x x
