SCRATCHPAD

Working out multiples of two digit numbers can be difficult. Using the scratchpad technique helps the children to work these out efficiently.

1) Write down the number e.g 34

3          4

30    +    4 = 34

60    +    8 = 68

90    +   12 = 102

120    +   16 = 136

150    +   20 = 170
