An Adventure in Number Sense
Join in on the conversation between a student ("There are too many multiplication facts to memorize.") and a mentor ("If you want to

13 facts, at most. There are very easy tricks that will let you get
the rest of the facts as fast as if you remembered them.") You'll

Tips
"To multiply by nine on your fingers, hold up ten fingers Ð if the problem is 9 x 8 you just put down your eighth finger and there's
your answer: 72. If the problem is 9 x 7 just put down your seventh
finger: 63." "If you are multiplying 5 times an even number, halve
the number you are multiplying by and place a zero after the number.
Example: 5 x 6, half of 6 is 3, add a zero for an answer of 30."
