A Different Way To Solve Multiplication Problems

Filed under: General — Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am

This looked like an interesting way to solve multiplication tables by hand. I was never taught this in school.

New Multiplication Figuring

I have a calculator that goes with me wherever I go in my Treo. I NEVER do multiplication by hand, but this still interests me. I don’t know why. Must be the math geek in me…

  1. This is WAY cool. I wish I’d had this visual growing up. My husband does this type of organizing naturally. He’s a programmer and loves math. I struggled with the concepts of Algebra on up.

  5. i am currently studying for an aptitude test and maths is very much a weak point for me. but, this method has really helped me learn a much faster way to do multiplication by hand.
