Maths - New solution for difficult multiplication problems!

Today for Maths we are learning about how to solve difficult multiplication problems in a easier and more simple way. 

It was a bit confusing for me at first because I was not there when Ms. Komor taught the lesson to the class. After a while I got the hang of it because our teacher helper, Ms. Jade (Mrs. Fepuleai daughter).

Here is an example of a problem and how I would solve it from this worksheet:

 QUESTION - An orchard has 6 containers with 145 apples in each container. How many apples do they have in total?

SOLUTION - You split the numbers in 1's, 10th's and 100th's for example:

6x5=30

6x40= 240

6x100=600

Now that you have had answered the problems split now you add them together:

3+240=270

270+600=870

Now that you have answered you now have your answer!

ANSWER - The answer to this problem is that the orchard now has 870 apples!
