Multiplication problem solving.

Last week our class was doing some problem solving. We were learning how to solve multiplication problems by using different strategies.

Here is one of my questions that I solved with my maths mate.
4x54

I have decided to use the strategies place value and rounding and compensating.


Here is my strategy for rounding, and compensating.
4x54=216
+(4x6)=24
4x60=240
240-24(4x6)=216

This is my strategy for place value.

4x54=216
4x50=200
4x4=16
200+16=216

Hope you learned something from this.

Thank you ^_^

  1. Hi Kenny,
    I think you did a great job solving this problem and I agree with it because its the same answer I got and its quite simple if you know what your doing.
