Questions and answers

What is long multiplication?

A written method for multiplying bigger numbers. You multiply by one digit at a time, write each result on its own row, then add the rows together.

How do you multiply a decimal?

Ignore the decimal point and multiply as if both were whole numbers. Then put the point back, with as many digits after it in the answer as there were in the question.

What should my child know first?

The times tables up to 9 × 9 and column addition with carrying. Long multiplication uses both at every step.
