Multi-Digit Multiplication

Multi-Digit Multiplication

LI: Multiply multi-digit numbers using a algorithm method.

Today I learnt how to multiply multi-digit numbers using a algorithm method. First we were taught how to multiply numbers with up to three number places like this: 164
                                                                                     x    7
                                                                                    -------.
Then we were taught to multiply more numbers like this: 2451
                                                                                     x   36
                                                                                    --------.
Once we mastered that skill, we were able to multiply decimals in this way. I found this hard at first. But then I found it easy once I got the hang of it. Here is a picture of my work.
