How Multiplication Works… 2 X 3
This means 2 groups of 3
Put the 2 groups together… how many do you have?
Count… one, two, three, four, five, six
So, the answer is: 2 X 3 = 6
Lattice Multiplication :
Lattice Multiplication 2 X 3
Here’s the box… it’s got a spot for the tens and a spot for the ones
Remember, 2 X 3 = 6 (6 is in the ones place)
So, we’ll put 0 in the tens spot (top) and 6 in the ones spot (bottom)

Let’s try double digits :
Let’s try double digits 14 X 56
Set it up like this:
Step 1 :
Step 1 14 X 56
First, we do 1 X 5
Step 2 :
Step 2 14 X 56
First, we do 1 X 5
Then, we do 4 X 5
Step 3 :
Step 3 14 X 56
First, we do 1 X 5
Then, we do 4 X 5
Then, we do 1 X 6
Step 4 :
Step 4 14 X 56
First, we do 1 X 5
Then, we do 4 X 5
Then, we do 1 X 6
Then, the last one: 4 X6
Step 5 :
Step 5 Now, just add down the diagonal stripes… Start at the bottom and work your way up the stripes
The Answer :
The Answer We get our answer by reading down the left side and across the bottom (ignore the first 0)
