Here is how to multiply numbers close to 100. e.g. 88 × 98.
88 is 12 below 100 and 98 is 2 below 100.
Look at how the product is found then use the method to find the other products.

88 12 96 4 92 8
× 98 2 × 93 7 × 94 6

2 × 12 = 24
98 - 12 = 86 96 × 91 95 × 91

Below is how to quickly multiply numbers that are just a little bigger that 100.
e.g. 103 × 106 = 10918
The answer is in two parts 109 (103 + 6 = 109 ) and 18 (3 × 6 = 18).
The numbers below can be expressed as the sum of consecutive integers. Some have been
completed for you. Finish the rest.

Take the first number and add the units digit of the second number. 15 + 3 = 18
Multiply the units digits of both numbers and add to your last answer. 5 x 3 = 15
180 + 15 = 195
Use the method shown to quickly multiply these numbers.
Therefore 15 x 13 = 195
12 × 16 13 × 19 Trying it again
(12 + 6) × 10 = 180 (13 + 9) × 10 = 220
