Mental Math Trick for Multiplying by 11

In this video, Mr. Jay introduces a mental math trick for multiplying three-digit numbers by 11. The trick involves splitting the end digits and adding the middle digit to both. Several examples are provided, including cases where carrying is necessary. The video explains the process step-by-step and demonstrates how the trick works in practice.

What is the main purpose of learning the mental math trick for multiplying a three-digit number by 11?

• To avoid using calculators.

• To replace traditional multiplication methods.

• To make multiplication faster and more efficient.

• To solve all types of multiplication problems.

What is the key phrase to remember when using this mental math trick?

• Multiply and subtract

• Split and add

• Divide and conquer

• Add and multiply

In the example of 342 x 11, what is the result of adding the middle digit to the end digits?

• 5 and 8

• 6 and 7

• 4 and 9

• 3 and 6

How does the split and add method work for the number 518?

• Split the digits and add 2 to each.

• Split the digits and add 4 to each.

• Split the digits and add 1 to each.

• Split the digits and add 3 to each.

What is the result of 518 x 11 using the mental math trick?

• 5,728

• 5,788

• 5,618

• 5,698

In the example of 754 x 11, why is carrying necessary?

• Because the sum of all digits exceeds 10.

• Because the sum of the first and last digits exceeds 10.

• Because the sum of the end digits exceeds 10.

• Because the sum of the middle digits exceeds 10.

What is the final result of 754 x 11 using the mental math trick?

• 8,294

• 8,194

• 8,494

• 8,394

In the example of 896 x 11, what is the first step after splitting the end digits?

• Add 8 to each digit.

• Add 9 to each digit.

• Add 6 to each digit.

• Add 5 to each digit.

What is the result of 896 x 11 using the mental math trick?

• 9,856

• 9,656

• 9,756

• 9,956

Why is it important to carry over in some cases when using this trick?

• To make the process faster.

• To ensure the digits are correctly aligned.

• To simplify the multiplication.

• To avoid errors in addition.
