Make sure you know you know your basic multiplications of one-digit number (like 8 x 7) with “Numbers Jugging – Times without the Tables.”
This lesson is about how to mulitiply two-digit numbers by 2. One of the digits are greater than 5, making one carry.
An example would be 2 x 64.
Another would be 93 x 2.
Some of the things we’ll talk about in this podcast:
- Learning the reason to keep an open mind, and the pitfall of thinking “I already know that.”
- Learning the reason to to multiplication from left to right.
