Multiplication tricks

Here are some mental math strategies that we've learned in class to help us with our multiplication facts:

x0 - 0 x Number = 0

x1 - 1 x N = N

x2 -  "double" (2 x N = N + N)

x3 - "double + N" 3 x N = (N + N) + N

x4 - "double double" 3 x 4 = (N+N) + (N+N)

x5 - the clock (1=5 minutes, 1 X 5 = 5; 2 = 10 minutes, 2 X 5 = 10)

**I will add the strategies for the other multiples as we learn them!

Please let me know if you have any questions!
