Grade 3 - Multiplication - Double Double Doubles

In this video, we'll explore mental math strategies for multiplying by 2s, 4s, and 8s, often referred to as the double, double doubles, and double double doubles strategy. This method helps students break down multiplication problems by doubling numbers incrementally, making it easier to solve problems they might not have memorized yet.

We'll demonstrate how starting with a simple multiplication, like 7 times 2, can lead to finding 7 times 8 by doubling the results step by step. This strategy is a practical shortcut for handling more challenging multiplication problems, building a strong foundation for mental math.
