Step 2 Work out 3 X 8 24
Put the 4 in the ones column and carry the two
tens to the tens column. Do this by writing a 2
above the tens column.
Step 3 Work out 3 X 10 30 (then add the 2 tens
you made from the ones.)

Put the 4 in the ones column and carry the two
tens to the tens column. Do this by writing a 2
above the tens column.
Step 3 Work out 6 X 20 Then add the two tens you
made from the ones.
Now record the 1 in the hundreds column and the 4
tens in the tens column.

Step 1 Set up the equation with the larger
number at the top.
28
x 8
Step 2 Multiply 8 by the number in the ones
column.

8 X 8 64. Record the 4 in the ones column and
carry the 6 tens to the tens column.
Step 3 Multiply 8 by the number in the tens
column and add any amount you have carried.
8 X 2 16 (remember this is 16 tens). Now add
the 6 tens you made from the ones.
16 6 22 (remember this is 22 tens or 2
hundreds ad 2 tens)
Record the 2 in the tens column and the 2 in the
hundreds column.
