What is Box Method Multiplication?

Also known as the Grid method multiplication is an initial approach to solve multi-digit multiplication for numbers more than 10. This method is often introduced to children during their elementary years. Hence, also known as the Grammar School method.

So, let’s get started.

To teach your kid the Box method you have to follow the following steps:

STEP 1: Draw a two-by-two grid-like shown in the above worksheet. Draw two lines vertically and two horizontally.

STEP 2: Now, you need to expand the given numbers and write the numbers vertically and horizontally outside the boxes. Like for example let me show to by solving the first problem of worksheet 2.

So, the number 33 will be 30+3, and 68 will be 60+8. You have to write 30 and 3 vertically and 60 and 8 horizontally outside the grids. You can also change the position of the numbers but in the same pattern.

STEP 3: For the third step you have to perform the basic step and that is multiplication. Teach your kid to ignore zeros for a while just multiply 3×6 rather than 30×60. This will be a lot easier procedure for them.

So, now they have to just add the zeros behind the numbers. Here, we ignored two zeros so we will add two zeros after 3×6=12. By adding zero it will be 1200.

STEP 4: For the next step you have to multiply same term i.e., 30 with the another number beside 60 i.e., 8 and answer will be 8×6=48 and by adding a zero that we ignored earlier it will be 480.

Repeat step 4 for the following number in a vertical grid that is 3. Multiply it by 60 to get the answer which is 3×6=12 and adding the zero the answer will be 120.

Again, multiply 3 by 8 and the answer will be 3×8=24.

STEP 5: For the last and the final step you just simply add all the numbers inside the boxes which you get after multiplication.

Like for our problem 1200+240+120+24= 1584

And, koala! this is your answer.
