Visual Multiplication with Lines
? : 13 = 22
? = 22 . 13
The Math Behind the Fact:
•
The method works because the number of lines
are like placeholders (at powers of 10: 1, 10, 100,
etc.), and the number of dots at each intersection
is a product of the number of lines. You are then
summing up all the products that are coefficients
of the same power of 10. Thus the in the example
• 22 x 13 = ( 2*10 + 2 ) * ( 1*10 + 3 ) = 2*1*100 +
2*3*10 + 2*1*10 + 2*3 = 286.
• The diagram displays this multiplication
visually. In the green-shaded region there are
2*1=2 dots. In the blue-shaded region there
are 2*3+2*1=8 dots. In the gold-shaded
region there are 2*3=6 dots.
• This will work to multiply any two two-digit
numbers, but if any of the green, blue, gold
sums have 10 or more points in them, be sure
to carry the tens digit to the left, just as you
would if you were adding.
• The method can be generalized to products of
three-digit numbers (or more) using more sets
of lines (and summing the dot groupings
vertically and remembering to carry when
needed). It can also be generalized to
products of three-numbers using cubes of
lines rather than squares!
