🧮
Explanation & Strategy for Solving Each Problem
Multiplication is repeated addition. For example, 3 × 4 means adding 3 four times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12.
We’ll go row by row:
---
Row 1:
-
2 × 2 = 4 → Simple double.
-
4 × 8 = 32 → Think: 4 × 8 = (4 × 4) × 2 = 16 × 2 = 32.
-
5 × 7 = 35 → 5 × 7 is half of 10 × 7 = 70 → so 35.
-
7 × 0 = 0 → Any number × 0 = 0.
-
3 × 4 = 12 → 3 × 4 = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.
---
Row 2:
-
3 × 6 = 18 → 3 × 6 = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18.
-
6 × 1 = 6 → Any number × 1 = itself.
-
2 × 3 = 6 → Same as 3 × 2.
-
6 × 7 = 42 → 6 × 7 = (6 × 5) + (6 × 2) = 30 + 12 = 42.
-
4 × 5 = 20 → 4 × 5 = 20 (common fact).
---
Row 3:
-
7 × 8 = 56 → 7 × 8 = 56 (memorized fact).
-
4 × 6 = 24 → 4 × 6 = 24 (also 6 × 4).
-
8 × 9 = 72 → 8 × 9 = 72 (one less than 8 × 10 = 80 → 80 - 8 = 72).
-
5 × 8 = 40 → 5 × 8 = 40 (half of 10 × 8 = 80).
-
2 × 4 = 8 → Double of 4.
---
Row 4:
-
4 × 0 = 0 → Anything × 0 = 0.
-
6 × 8 = 48 → 6 × 8 = 48 (same as 8 × 6).
-
7 × 9 = 63 → 7 × 9 = 63 (7 × 10 = 70 minus 7 = 63).
-
2 × 6 = 12 → Double 6.
-
3 × 7 = 21 → 3 × 7 = 21 (same as 7 × 3).
---
Row 5:
-
3 × 9 = 27 → 3 × 9 = 27 (3 × 10 = 30 minus 3).
-
2 × 5 = 10 → Double 5.
-
9 × 1 = 9 → Any number × 1 = itself.
-
3 × 8 = 24 → 3 × 8 = 24.
-
5 × 6 = 30 → 5 × 6 = 30 (half of 10 × 6 = 60).

📌
Tips for Mastering Multiplication Drills:
- Memorize the multiplication table up to 10×10.
- Use patterns: e.g., ×10 adds a zero, ×5 ends in 0 or 5, ×9 has digit sum of 9.
- Practice daily — speed and accuracy come with repetition.
- Use tricks like “doubling” for ×2, “halving then doubling” for ×4 or ×8.
