LO: To multiply 2 and 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.

Remember to place the largest number at the top of the sum.

324 x 12 = _____

324

X12 Keep the numbers in the correct columns

-----

We are going to multiply the top number by the number in the

UNITS column on the bottom of the sum.

Next we need to multiply each digit in the top number by the unit

of the bottom number e.g. 2 ( 12 )

10 2 324 x 2=

324 Multiply 4 by 2 ( 4 x 2 = 8) and put the answer in the answer

X12 box in the correct place.

_____ We now multiply each digit in the top number by 8 the unit in the bottom number e.g. 2 starting with the units

324 Multiply 2 by 2 (2 x 2 = 4) and put the answer in the answer box

X12 in the correct place.

______

48

324 Multiply 3 by 2 ( 3 x 2 = 6) and put the answer in the answer box

X12 in the correct place.

____

648 You have now multiplied 324 by 2

324 x 2 = 648

We are going to multiply the top number by the number in the

tens column on the bottom of the sum.

Next we need to multiply each digit in the top number by the ten

of the bottom number e.g. 1 ( 12 )

10 2 324 x 10=

Because we are multiplying by a ten we need to keep its place in

the correct column so we place a 0 in the units column before we

start multiplying by the ten.

You then multiply the ten in bottom number by each digit in the

top number, starting with the units.

324 Multiply 4 by 1 ( 4 x 1 = 4)

X12

--------

648

40 _____

324

X12 Then multiply 2 by 1 (2 x 1 = 2) and put the answer in the

_____ answer box in the correct place

648.

240

___

324

X12 Now multiply 3 by 1 (3 x 1 = 3) and put the answer in the

_____ answer box in the correct place

648.

3240

___

You have now multiplied the top 3-digit number by the ten in the

bottom number. 324 x 10 = 3240

Finally add up the two numbers in the answer box using the

column sum method. It is already set out in a sum.

324

X12

_____

648 Add these numbers to get your final answer.

3240

______

3888
