The Grid Multiplication Method
The grid multiplication method is a form of long multiplication using a Partial Products Algorithm and uses a two-step process:
- Break up one of the numbers and
- then uses the distributive law that a(b+c) = ab + ac
It may sound tricky, but the Grid Multiplication math apps will take your kids step by step with a simple and easy method.
With Grid Multiplication, the numbers are aligned automatically so that the user can concentrate on solving the operations for each column. After kids solve the operation for each partial product the correct answer will fly to the right place. If kids press the wrong button the answer will appear above the keyboard but it will not move.

Teacher Endorsements:
"Z. R. Prowell, Edina, Minnesota, USA: " There are students who see my examples who still need some guidance, and after using the app have said, "Now I get it." The feature of selecting possible solutions in each step helps some of my students who are still building their multiplication facts."
R. Zeni, Abbotsford, BC, Canada: "The math apps by Esa Helttula allow students to practice and reinforce the specific computation strategies taught in class, with as much or as little scaffolding as necessary. I am so glad to have come across this great educational tool!"
J. Bryson, Kings Mountain, North Carolina, USA: "They seem to think we - as teachers don't know how to do math - but when they see the app solve it the same way we told them - it reinforces what we have been trying to teach them."”
