Multiplication of Whole
Numbers Mentally
Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our
dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home.
Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are
carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide
you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson
prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on
lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on
completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your
teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the
end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-
check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity
and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the
Teacher are also provided to our facilitators and parents for
strategies and reminders on how they can best help you on your
home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary
marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in
answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions
carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in
answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your
teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.
 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is

here to help you comprehend on how to multiply whole numbers
mentally. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many
different learning situations. The language used recognizes your
diverse vocabulary backgrounds. The lessons are arranged to
follow the standard sequence of the course but the order in which
you read them can be changed to correspond with the Grade 3
Mathematics learning materials you are using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

- multiply mentally 2-digit by 1-digit numbers without regrouping
with products of up to 100 (M3NS-IIe-42.2).

Enjoy your journey. Good luck!

 Lesson
Multiplies Mentally 2-Digit by 1-Digit
1 Numbers without Regrouping

Multiplication is a quicker way of adding the same number

multiple times. Since we are repeating the same number,
multiplication is also called repeated addition. For example, say
you have 7 friends with 13 gummy bears each and you want to
find how many they have in total. Instead of adding
13+13+13+13+13+13+13, it is much faster to multiply 7 x 13 to find
the answer. When we multiply two or more numbers, the answer is
called the product.
Multiplication facts must be memorized by the pupils. They
can easily answer each problem by giving more activities or drills
by the time a teacher introduces the lesson. It can be used in our
daily living.

 What’s In

Review the multiplication facts and let the child recite the
table of multiplication for them to answer easily the given
problem.

Activity 1
Directions: Write the product inside the square.

1. 3 x 4 = 3. 4 x 4 = 5. 6 x 3 =

2. 3 x 3 = 4. 5 x 5 =

Notes to the Teacher

Let the learner master the skip counting

to help master the multiplication table easily.

 What is It
Problem:
Four boys helped their teacher return some workbooks in the
library. Each boy carried 12 workbooks. How many workbooks did
they carry altogether?
Solution: Multiply 12 by 4. Do it mentally.
Think:
Using Place Value/Long Method
Multiply the ones digit of the multiplicand by the ones digit in
the multiplier. Then, multiply the tens digit of the multiplicand by
the ones digit in the multiplier.
Give the product.
12 12

x 4 x4
8 48.
So, 48 workbooks were carried by the boys.
Example: 23 42
x 3 x 2
69 84
We can also write 10 x 2 horizontally. Which of the two
factors is the multiplicand? multiplier?

10 X 2 = 20 10 – multiplicand
x 2 – multiplier
multiplicand multiplier product 20 - product

6 CO_Q2_Mathematics 3_Module 6
Using Shortcut Method
Follow these three simple steps;
1. Expand the 2-digit number into addition of tens and ones
form
2. Multiply the ones digit and the tens digit of the multiplicand
by the 1-digit multiplier separately.
3. Add the two partial products to get the answer.

Example: A.) 13 (10 + 3)

x 2 x 2
20 + 6 = 26

B.) 23 (20 + 3)
X 2 x 2
40 + 6 = 46

 What I Have Learned

How do you multiply mentally 2-digit numbers by 1-digit number

without regrouping?

1. Expand the 2-digit number into addition of tens and ones form.
2. Multiply the ones digit and then, tens digit of the multiplicand
by the 1-digit multiplier separately.
3. Add the two partial products to get the answer.
