Dear Friends,

THE SPEED MATHEMATICS METHOD

I am now going to show you the speed mathematics way of working with single digit near to 10 number multiplication in this session

The problem now looks like this:

    8

  x 6

We now look at each number and ask, how many more do we need to make 10?

We start with the 8. If we have 8, how many more do we need to make 10?

The answer is 2. Eight plus 2 equals 10. We write 2 next to the 8. Our equation now looks like this:

    8 - 2

 x 6

We now go to the 6. How many more to make 10? The answer is 4.

We write 4 next to the 6.

This is how the problem looks now:

    8 - 2

 x 6 - 4

We now take away, or subtract, crossways or diagonally. We either

take 2 from 6 or 4 from 8. It doesn’t matter which way we subtract—

the answer will be the same, so choose the calculation that looks

easier. Two from 6 is 4, or 4 from 8 is 4. Either way the answer is 4.

You only take away one time. Write 4 below answer line.

    8 - 2

 x 6 - 4

-----------

    4

For the last part of the answer, you “times,” or multiply, the numbers

next to actual multiplication number. What is 2 times 4? Two times 4 means two fours added

together. Two fours are 8. Write the 8 as the last part of the answer.

The answer is 48.

    8 - 2

  x 6 - 4

------------ -

    48

Note: I have trouble in explaining this more graphically. Moderation - Do you allow file attachment for easy printing? so I can upload the sheet scanned after writing on paper will give better understanding. Also I am plaining to handle few session if more parents are interested.

Any clarification kindly revert back to me.

Practice: Try this out (Don't skip this since higher level need this practice)

1) 9 x 9 = ?

2) 8 x 8 = ?

3) 7 x 7 = ?

4) 7 x 9 = ?

5) 8 x 9 = ?

6) 9 x 6 = ?

7) 5 x 9 = ?

8) 8 x 7 = ?

More fun to follow.

Thanks,
