    If an article requires non-standard or uncommon notation, they should be defined. For example, an article that uses x^n or x**n to denote exponentiation (instead of x n) should define the notations. If an article requires extensive notation, consider introducing the notation as a bulleted list or separating it into a section titled "Notation".

    so 3 × 17 = 30 + 21 = 51. This is the "grid" or "boxes" structure which gives the multiplication method its name. Faced with a slightly larger multiplication, such as 34 × 13, pupils may initially be encouraged to also break this into tens. So, expanding 34 as 10 + 10 + 10 + 4 and 13 as 10 + 3, the product 34 × 13 might be represented:
