Today we'll be learning how to identify and use arithmetic patterns to multiply.
We'll learn about several different strategies to multiply by 9.
Take a look at the table below. Notice the pattern that occurs with the product of a multiple of 9. Think how you can use this information to help you multiply or check your answer.
The number 9 truly is a special number.
Now take that information and take a look at the poster on this page called "The 9s Trick"
