Rounding And Compensating (Multiplication)

W.A.L.T: Use rounding and compensating for our multiplication, So it could be easier for in the future.

(I'm typing in the video, Because it was too loud in the background. 😄😜)

In my math's hub which is in Te Kauru Nui, We are learning to use the strategy 'Rounding and Compensating.' But with multiplication questions. One number has to be double digit, Then the other number has to be one digit. (E.g: 72 x 4). Then, You must see if its over 5, or under 6. Over 5 is plus. under 6 is minus. So 72 - 2 = 70. So the new equation is: 70 x 4 = 280. Then you must add the two back on. It can't just be 280 + 2. It needs to be 8. Because 2 x 4 = 8. So 280 + 8 = 288. It's quite simple, Maybe you can try it and show your teacher! Next time, I'm going to try to use more difficult equations
