My method: 21 x 14: multiply 2x14 = 28, therefore 20 x 14= 280. Then add one more 14 = 294. Easy!
@ShadowCooper77

I definitely use that for numbers that are close to a multiple of 10, such as with 21 and 14. But for 17 and 14 I'd rather use this method than 20x14 - 3x14.

To me this seems fairly difficult to do still. I always just simplify the equations looking for the easiest way to do so. For 21 x 14 that means first calculating 20 x 14, which is 280, and then simply adding another 14 to get 294. For the 15 x 18 I just calculate 15 x 20, which is 300, and then deduct 2 x 15, which is 30, to get to 270. Now the last one seems to be the most tricky, but it really isn't. Just start with 10 x 16, which is 160, and then add 48 (3 x 16), which accumulates to 208.

15*18=180+90=270 how is this? You should use common sense and apply..
Math has always been like a fun puzzle to me (I’m 71) so this is really great. Don’t remember how I stumbled across your channel the other day but I’m sure glad I did.

When I took Freshman Algebra in 1963, I had had no Algebra or Geometry in Grade School, as in 8th Grade we were still doing Basic Math. Half the HS class took Basic Math and we were only required one yr of Math to graduate, No summer school prep class, no after school tutoring, no bookstores full of math help books especially on how to solve word problems (Kumon Math, Painless Math). My parents hadn't gone to HS so they couldn't help. I made a "D" for the year & was told I couldn't repeat the class, even by just using my Study Hall period the next yr and not changing the grade. No, No, I was now in the Secretary/ Home Ec tract. Thankfully, there is a world of help today to learn math.
Absolutely superb. Why was I not shown this in school. You’re awesome!
I'm enjoying these. We're trying to get a 3rd grade student interested in math using your methods.

for one's with a small digit, like 21 x 14, I just do 20X14 then add another 14. If it was 19X14 then it's 20x14 - 14. You method is nice for the "middle sized" digits.

@@BigAlCapwn That’s a good method. Other way of showing this is transforming the 15 into a 10 + 5, leaving you with: 18(10 + 5) Multiply every member of the parenthesis, 5 is basically 10/2, so you can calculate 10 first by ading a 0 to 18, and getting half of that for 5 180 + 180/2 = 180 + 90 = 270

21x14=2.1x140. So 2x140=280 then as +0.1 = 1/10th add 14 to 280 which is 294.
Thank you for the tips and tricks! But for my own issues, I'll still do the long form. Maybe not in my head, but definitely on paper if available, or on a calculator. Please keep this good stuff coming.
Thank you for teaching me this it’s making my timestables so much easier 😊
These are excellent shortcuts but for many of us oldies remembering these new tricks is difficult. However we had to do mental arithmetic at school so can often just feel, or see in one's mind's eye, the answer develop.
this helps so much for doing long multiplication in my head. thank youuu!
thank you so much for these! I just started college and wanted to do some deep research and tutoring on math, this channel is AMAZING! God bless you and keep up the good work!!
I didn’t understand what you meant by how far the third problem was from ten until you showed it in process. Now that you explained it, I need three more problems to know if I learned it. Thank you. I’m dyscalculic and struggle with keeping any numbers in my head, so tricks like this do help because it shows me what is going on with the numbers-that, I can do: comprehend. It’s the calculating that fumbles.
Wow, I am just blown away by the videos I have watched so far. I intend to watch all your videos, EXCELLENT, you are the best teacher ever. Thank you so much for sharing your videos!

Thanks mate!
with the 21x14 and similar it seems really tricky to remember to count to that 11 thingy I'd rather use the separation method where i multiply the numbers individually as they are, for example 21x14 = 20x10 + 20x4 + 1x10 + 1x4 = 200+80+10+4 you multiply the 20 with the 10, then the 20 with the 4, then proceed to multiply the 1 with 10 and lastly the 1 with 4 basically 21x14 = (20+1)x(10+4)

@@pokretny I would dare to say 2x14x10 + 1x14 is even easier, by separating 20 in 2x10, I can multiply 2*14 and then add the zero. It is basically the same thing you did, but I think easier.
