Get a jump on the next skill in multiplication. Just like addition, we can decompose a number and multiply by each part then add products. For example:
If we multiply 45 x 7, we can decompose 45 into 40 + 5, multiply 40 x 7 then multiply 5 x 7, then add each product. 45 x 7 = 40 x 7 (280) + 5 x 7 ( 35) = 280 + 35 = 315
