Tackling challenging multiplication problems can be daunting, but breaking them into smaller, manageable pieces makes it easier! For example, to solve 9 x 6, divide the larger number into simpler parts: start with an easy factor like 5. By calculating 5 x 6 and 4 x 6 separately, you find that 5 x 6 = 30 and 4 x 6 = 24. Adding those results gives you 54, so 9 x 6 = 54! This method simplifies multiplication. Now it's your turn to give it a try!

Wait, wait, wait. I’m still confused. What does that mean?
OK, I’ll explain. Let’s say you want to solve 9 x 6
How do I know which 2 pieces?
I know! I know! I know! Fives are easy for me!
OK. Then start with 5.
Now • Multiply multiply 5 x 6 • Then multiply 4 x 6
5 x 6 = 30 4 x 6 = 24 ____________ 30 + 24 = 54
Tah! Dah! 9 x 6 = 54
OK. • I’ll show you another way.
5 x 6 4 x 6
Now, that wasn’t so hard. It’s time for you to try.
