    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.

    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.

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

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.

    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)
