Trouble doing multiplication without a calculator... Try this!

I used to be a math teacher and I've seen, and still use, a lot of quick multiplying methods. This one however is pretty wild. I think it would start to get out of hand if the numbers got too big, but it is interesting that it works...



Enjoy!

This is called lattice multiplication and is actually taught in EVERYDAY MATH.
