Exploring Effective Multiplication Strategies

The video tutorial covers 121 multiplication facts, focusing on strategies to solve them efficiently. It introduces the 'Three Times Strategy,' which involves doubling a number and adding one more group. An example using 3 * 6 is provided, demonstrating how to apply this strategy. The video also discusses turnaround facts, like 6 * 3, and emphasizes building fast and efficient multiplication strategies.

Why is it important to learn multiplication strategies?

• To solve addition problems

• To make calculations faster and more efficient

• To avoid using calculators

• To impress friends

What is the first step in the 'Three Times Strategy'?

• Divide the number

• Subtract one group

• Double the number

• Add one more group

In the example 3 * 6, what is the result of doubling 6?

• 24

• 12

• 18

• 6

After doubling 6 to get 12, what is the next step to find 3 * 6?

• Multiply by 2

• Divide by 2

• Add another group of 6

• Subtract 6

What is the final result of 3 * 6 using the 'Three Times Strategy'?

• 12

• 24

• 18

• 6

How can you use the 'Three Times Strategy' for 6 * 3?

• Divide 6 by 3

• Skip count by 3

• Turn it around to 3 * 6 and use the same strategy

• Add 6 three times

Why is the 'Three Times Strategy' faster than skip counting?

• It involves fewer steps

• It uses addition

• It uses division

• It uses subtraction

What is the main goal of learning multiplication strategies?

• To solve division problems

• To avoid using paper

• To memorize all multiplication facts

• To build fast and efficient calculation methods

What should you do after doubling the number in the 'Three Times Strategy'?

• Multiply by 3

• Subtract one group

• Divide by 2

• Add one more group

What is the final step in the 'Three Times Strategy'?

• Subtract one group

• Divide by 2

• Add one more group

• Multiply by 3
