  2. Grid method multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_method_multiplication

    The grid method (also known as the box method) of multiplication is an introductory approach to multi-digit multiplication calculations that involve numbers larger than ten. Because it is often taught in mathematics education at the level of primary school or elementary school , this algorithm is sometimes called the grammar school method.

  3. Multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm

    The grid method (or box method) is an introductory method for multiple-digit multiplication that is often taught to pupils at primary school or elementary school. It has been a standard part of the national primary school mathematics curriculum in England and Wales since the late 1990s. [3]

  4. Multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

    Grid method multiplication, or the box method, is used in primary schools in England and Wales and in some areas [which?] of the United States to help teach an understanding of how multiple digit multiplication works. An example of multiplying 34 by 13 would be to lay the numbers out in a grid as follows:

  5. Lattice multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_multiplication

    A grid is drawn up, and each cell is split diagonally. The two multiplicands of the product to be calculated are written along the top and right side of the lattice, respectively, with one digit per column across the top for the first multiplicand (the number written left to right), and one digit per row down the right side for the second multiplicand (the number written top-down).

  6. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    With x=2 and y=3 for example, by positioning the top scale to start at the bottom scale's 2, the result of the multiplication 3×2=6 can then be read on the bottom scale under the top scale's 3: While the above example lies within one decade, users must mentally account for additional zeroes when dealing with multiple decades.

  7. Napier's bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier's_bones

    Napier's bones is a manually operated calculating device created by John Napier of Merchiston, Scotland for the calculation of products and quotients of numbers. The method was based on lattice multiplication, and also called rabdology, a word invented by Napier.

  8. Chunking (division) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(division)

    It is also known as the hangman method with the addition of a line separating the divisor, dividend, and partial quotients. [1] It has a counterpart in the grid method for multiplication as well. In general, chunking is more flexible than the traditional method in that the calculation of quotient is less dependent on the place values.

  9. Ancient Egyptian multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Ancient_Egyptian_multiplication

    In mathematics, ancient Egyptian multiplication (also known as Egyptian multiplication, Ethiopian multiplication, Russian multiplication, or peasant multiplication), one of two multiplication methods used by scribes, is a systematic method for multiplying two numbers that does not require the multiplication table, only the ability to multiply and divide by 2, and to add.
