Double Digit Multiplication

When completing problems like 45 x 32, it is helpful to follow these steps.

1. Break the problem down into 45 x 3 = ? and then add a ZERO to your answer because the 3 is in the TENS position.
2. Multiply 45 x 2 = ?
3. Add your answer from step 1 and your answer from step 2.
4. You've got your answer!

Of course, this is nearly impossible if you cannot quickly multiply numbers like 5x3, 4x3, 5x2, 4x2.

If you're not quick enough, study your cards more. Commit to 10 minutes a day and watch your daily scores improve!

You can (and should!) do it!
