Lately during maths I have been learning a quick and easy way to do times, times is another word for groups of. Times is where you work out how many groups of that makes this. The way I learnt is where you either add and then take away or you take away and then add. EG 58 groups of 6 equals,
58 plus 2 equals 60 so six 6's
are 36 add a 0 and you have 360 but now you have to take away twelve so our answer is 348.
That's a great explanation of another way to work out your times and a really good example.
