[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. For example, if I have to multiply 65 * 32, I write it vertically on paper or do it vertically in my head. 65 X 32 ——- 130 + 1950 ——— 2,080 But my kid does the distributive property breaking down the 65, etc. He doesn’t know how to do it the old way (above), so I am thinking of teaching him but not sure if it is worth it.[/quote] If he can do two digit multiplication in his head, there's no real benefit to learning this algorithm. https://youtu.be/Sfi4QUlQ4co?si=wditdFBxhVtWHJjS[/quote]
