The Grid Method - Multiplication By Harry Maurice And Oliver Amos
Why it is useful • It is straight forward so if you make a mistake you can see where you went wrong. • It is quick and easy. • There is not much to slip up on.
Starting off 89 x 123 First partition each number like this.
Where everything goes Now times where the arrows meet (where the dots are). 8000 900 1600 180 240 27
Totalling Now total up all the circled numbers. = 8900 = 1780 = 267 + 10947
It’s easy as 1…2…3!!! So just follow these 3 easy steps and you can solve any multiplication (it doesn’t just have to be 2 or 3 digit numbers).
