Miss Flameil: Yakko

Yakko: Yes miss Flameil?

Miss Flameil: I want you to multiply 47 times 83

Yakko:

7 times 3 is 21 which as you know is just two 10's plus 1

And so we put the one right here and we carry the 2 one left

To the top of the tenths place right next door

And we put it on top of the number 4

Which is really four tenths that we multiply times 3 in the ones place

And that's why

We now have 12 which we add to the 2 that we carry to get 14

See how easy that was?

Ho ho it's multiplication

It's math education

Hey Albert Einstein said that it's so easy to do

It's simple it's breezy

It's fun and it's easy

Just buy a calculator

You can multpily too

And now the second digit!

7 times 8 is 56 which as you know is just 5 tens plus 6

And so we put the 6 right here in the tenths place, left of the one

Carry the 5 like we did before

To the top of the tenths place next to the 4

Then multiply that 4 times 8 to get 32 see isn't this great

Then we add the 5 that we carried before to get 37

Then add once more, straight down to get 3901

Isn't this swell

Oh lets give multiplication

A standing ovation

Issac Newton multiplied a couple times two

Times two, times two, times two

It's simple it's breezy

It's fun and it's easy

So buy a calculator, and study this stuff later

Maybe someday you can multiply numbers, 2...3...4...5...RECESS
