Fascinating Fact:

Multiplication is used in photography when pixels multiply across a screen, a ten megapixel camera means ten million little dots working together.

In 11 Plus Maths, multiplication and division help students understand large numbers, fractions, and ratios. These skills are key to problem solving, estimation, and mental arithmetic.

Key Terms

Pixel: The smallest part of a digital image, used to show how multiplication works in grids and screens.
Product: The result you get when numbers are multiplied together.
Inverse Operation: When two operations undo each other, such as multiplication and division.

27,000

To multiply by 300, first multiply by three, then by 100: 90 x 3 = 270, then 270 x 100 = 27,000. Alternatively, if both numbers end with zeroes, these can be removed and added again at the end:
9 x 3 = 27. We removed 3 zeros, so we add them again to get 27,000
