So, what is Lattice Multiplication, anyway?

So, what is Lattice Multiplication, anyway?

Lattice multiplication is a method of multiplication that will work for all multi-digit multiplication problems! Lattice keeps your numbers organized and provides a systematic way to solve multiplication problems.

Is Lattice Multiplication New?

Is Lattice Multiplication New?

NO! In fact, the Lattice method of multiplication appears in the first printed arithmetic book. Printed in Treviso, Italy in 1478 this book shows this exact method as well as some variations of the long multiplication algorithm commonly taught today.

4 Simple Steps to Lattice Multiplication

1. Make the grid/ lattice2. Write the factors outside the

grid3. Multiply4. Add to get your answer

Step One: Make the Lattice Grid

First draw a box and divide it into 2 equal sections.

Step One: Make the Lattice Grid

Next, divide those boxes diagonally from the top right to the bottom left corner.

Step Two: Write the factors on the grid

Now what? Simple, ask someone to give you a multi-digit multiplication problem to solve! Now add these numbers to the grid.

43 x 5 = ?

Fill in the Lattice

Fill in the numbers like this… 4 3

5

Step Three: Multiply

Now multiply!

43 x 5 = ?

Then Multiply the Outside!

First multiply 5x3 and write your answer in the lattice as shown.

Then Multiply the Outside!

Next, multiply 5x4. Write your answer in the top left box of your lattice grid.

Step Four: Add the Inside

Finally, add the numbers in the diagonals to get the solution.

5 is all by itself so simply bring

that number down.

Next, add 1 + 0, and write the

sum under the lattice.

Now You Try It.

Using the graph paper in front of you, draw a square around any two of the blocks on your paper.

Now You Try It.

Next, divide those boxes diagonally from the top right to the bottom left corner.
