explain the steps you follow to multiply by a 1 digit number
I am thinking:
654 times 4.
Multiply the 1 digit number times the ones digit in the number. Write down the ones value and carry the tens.
For my example: when multiplying by 4
my first step is 6 carry 1 tens to the tens place
multiply the 4 times the tens place and add in the number carried...
repeat the process.
