Multiplication Properties and Expressions

This video tutorial explores how to use the knowledge of multiplying single-digit numbers to tackle multiplication problems involving two-digit numbers. It introduces the associative property of multiplication, demonstrating how numbers can be grouped differently to simplify calculations. Through examples like 5 times 18, 3 times 21, 14 times 5, and 15 times 3, the video illustrates how breaking down numbers into smaller components can make multiplication easier and more intuitive.
