So far we have been successful using different strategies to help us solve "working on" multiplication combinations. Some of our strategies include: using a "start with" combination, skip counting, repeated addition, making arrays and breaking them into more manageable pieces.
Which combinations are difficult for you? What is the strategy you use to help you find the answer? Tell us!

I think that the hard thing was to practice without the start with but when i had a start with it was much easier.
ReplyDeleteThe hard one was 11X12 the start with is 10X12 the answer to 11X12 is 132. It is fun doing it.

I am still working on this multiplication fact 9x24. I know that 9x12=108. So I just have to double it and then I know the awnser!
ReplyDeleteFrom Tim
7X8 was hard for me so my start with was 7X10=70 and then I took away 14 and that is 56
ReplyDeletefrom youri:)
Dear Ms.Castro,
ReplyDeleteI think 9x12=??? is hard because 12s are allways hard. I did 9x10=90, 90+18=108 with is the answer atleast Ithink it is!!!(90+9+9=108)I do have more that i do not understand but that is one of the hardest!!!
