In this activity, we will learn about long multiplication.

First of all, let's recap on how to do simple multiplication. 

How would we find out the answer to 96 x 2?

We would start by doing 6 x 2 = 12 

We put the 2 in the answer box in the ones column and carry the 1 forwards to the tens column.

Then we do 9 x 2 = 18.  Don't forget to add the 1 that was carried from the ones column and we have 19. 

Write 19 in the answer box and we have the full answer of 192

So 96 x 2 = 192

Now let's test ourselves further and try out some long multiplication:

e.g. Find the product of 96 and 32 

Remember that find the product simply means multiply.

Answer:

We get the answer by adding the red and blue rows together.

The answer is 3,072
