The Multiplier


LI: To solve a multiplication equation using The Multiplier. This week for maths we had to go on a multiplication site called The Multiplier. We had to solve a multiplication equation that had a 2 digit number and a 1 digit number. For The Multiplier I decided to do 83 x 6. I had to try and use strategies to solve this equation. I decided to split the equation into 83 x 3 and 83 x 3. To solve 83 x 3 I multiplied 3 and 3 which is 9. Then I multiplied 30 and 8 which is 240. After that I added 240 and 9 together which is 249. Since I solved on of the equations I don't need to solve the other because I split the 83 x 6 into 83 x 3 and 83 x 3. Then I added 249 and 249. 249 + 249 = 498. 83 x 6 = 498. I used The Multiplier by picking a multiplication equation and splitting it to solve the equation. The number that I used in the problem was 83 x 6. I split the equation by splitting the 6 into 3 and 3. Then I did 83 x 3 and 83 x 3. I split the numbers because it will be more easier to solve the equation. The easiest way to split up the numbers was to split the 6 into 3 and 3 and then multiplying it with 83 two times. I could show this equation in a diagram by telling people the steps on how to solve a equation.
