K-8: Math Tip
You can multiply by tens and hundreds in your head! Just multiply the digits that are not zeros, then add the zeros up and put them on the end of the answer!
Let’s see...
- 40 x 20 =
- Well, 4 x 2 = 8, and I have two zeros...
- So 8 and 00 on the end = 800
Next...
- 700 x 200 = ??
- 7 x 2 = 14, and there are four zeros...
- 140,000
See how easy that is!
- Now you try it: 30 x 50 =
