Multiplication by 0, 1, 2 and 3
In the next several lessons we will learn the basic multiplication facts.

Multiplying by 0
Any number multiplied by 0 equals 0.

Multiplying by 1
Any number multiplied by 1 equals that number.

Multiplying by 2 and 3

How Multiplying Works

Let's see what's really going on when we multiply two numbers.

This means that you have two groups of 3!

Put the two groups together... How many triangles do you have?

Count them... One, two, three, four, five, six! So, our answer is:

Let's do another one! This one has the numbers switched around.

This means that you have three groups of 2!

Put the three groups together... How many squares do you have?

Count them... One, two, three, four, five, six! So, our answer is:

Hey, that's the same answer we got with 2 x 3! But, we put the six together a different way. Look at them both again to see the difference!

Scratch Addition
A cool way to add long columns of numbers without messing up! (page 2 of 6)

As usual, we'll do the ones first... I'll write out my thinking by each step. If you don't want to get lost, grab a piece of paper and work the problem with me!! Here we go!

Now, we need to learn what to do with those scratches!

OK, now let's do the tens column... It's going to work the same way. Work along with me so you don't get lost!

Let's finish it off! What do we do with those scratches?

So, our final answer is 478.

Don't feel bad if your head is swimming a bit. These guys are easy, but look confusing at first. Go to the next page and we'll do another one!

OK, this is big stuff here... The key to getting your addition and subtraction and being able to use them in bigger math problems later on is to see how addition and subtraction fit together! These are called number families. Look at these numbers:

What are four ways we can put these numbers together? We get two with addition* and two with subtraction:

*Parents: Knowing both ways for addition will help when they learn things like the commutative property.

Here's another group of numbers:

What are four ways we can put these numbers together? We get two with addition and two with subtraction:

Here are a couple to try on your own: What are four ways we can put these numbers together?

What are four ways we can put these numbers together?

Place Values Review

Before we start learning how to subtract bigger numbers, you really need to get how place values work. If you don't, subtracting is going to get really confusing! Look at this number:

Remember how you can expand this out:

When we get set up to subtract big numbers, we're going to use stacking and stripes -- just like we did with addition. Remember that this is how we stack and stripe:

When we load this number in for subtraction, we'll just put it in like this:

But, I want you to remember that this 2 is really 20!

Starting to Subtract Two Digit Numbers

For this lesson, we'll be working with easy numbers just to get you used to how this stuff works. We're going to work with everything stacked because this is what you'll always do with bigger numbers. We're going to work backwards, just like we did with addition! I'm going to have you subtract the ones first... then the tens. Like addition, you'll have to do it this way when the numbers get harder. Let's jump in!

Stack them and line everything up:

Subtract down the stripes... Do the ones first, then the tens:

Here's another one:

Remember how you can expand this out:

Remember that this is how we stack and stripe:

When we load this number in for subtraction, we'll just put it in like this:

Remember that this 7 is really 700!

Remember that this 8 is really 80!

Here's another one:

Stack the numbers and line things up in stripes:

Subtract down the stripes... First, subtract the ones: Then, subtract the tens: That's really

Here are some problems to practice. Be sure to get really good at these before going to the next lesson. You don't have to do ALL of them... Just do as many as you need to until they feel easy. 1) 38-17 2) 56-21 3) 88-42 4) 81-50 5) 45-32 6) 95-72 7) 59-37 8) 63-12 9) 39-27 10) 52-31 11) 73-52 12) 97-64 13) 89-69 14) 83-41 15) 43-22 16) 66-13

Subtracting Three Digit Numbers with Regrouping (Borrowing)

This is going to work a lot like subtracting with two digit numbers... Grab some colored markers or crayons and work along with me! Here we go!

Just like before, stack and line things up... Now, we'll have a hundreds stripe to deal with:

As usual, the first thing to do is to subtract the ones... We don't have to do any borrowing on this one:

Now, we'll subtract the tens stripe... But, we run into that problem again!

No problem! We're going to fix this, just like we did in the last lesson. See if you can figure it without me, then go on to the next page to see how you did! This time, you'll be borrowing from the hundreds stripe...

We're going to do it the same way we did before:

Now, remember, that's really 600 Here's the key to this whole trick:

= 500 + 100!

A 1 in the hundreds stripe is 100... and that's the same as 10 tens!

< It's just like swapping a $100 bill for ten $10 bills! >

Now, add the 10 and the 3 in the tens stripe:

Hop on over to the next page and we'll finish this critter!

Subtract the tens... Then, subtract the hundreds...

OK, now we're ready to do one with TWO borrows in it! And I'm going to use the faster way to show my work so you can get used to it. Check it out:

Stack and line things up:

Do the ones stripe first... We can't do 4-9, so we need to borrow from the tens stripe!

We'll finish it on the next page!

Subtract the ones:

Next, we do the tens stripe... Remember that the 3 is crossed out, so ignore it! We can't do 2-5, so we'll need to borrow from the hundreds stripe!

Now, we can subtract the tens stripe... and the hundreds stripe:

Don't worry if your head is swimming on these problems... That's normal! Hey, there's a LOT going on here to get used to. But, you WILL be able to get it. The more you do, the easier they'll get! I've got some good practice problems for you on the next page!
