I Can Help You With Your Maths

In Te Ngahere this week I have been learning how to do multiplication with tidy numbers I think it was hard in the start but ended up getting the hang of it. One of my questions was 42 x 5, it looks hard at first but when you break it all up it looks like this 5 x 40 = 200 I changed 42 to 40 because it is a tidy number and then I did 5 x 2 = 10 then 200 + 10 = 210 and that's your answer. I hope you learnt something.
