A Brand New Way to Multiply.

Here is a simple way to show children the principle of multiplication. In fact, this is easier than normal multiplication. it involves counting, paper, and a writing utensil.

The first step is to draw the lines. For one factor, draw horizontal lines, for the other, draw vertical lines.

Now count all the intersections between all lines. If all goes well, the amount of lines should be the value of the product.
