About the class

Did you know there are various ways to multiply numbers? Students in different countries learn different ways to multiply. Let’s explore the magic of multiplication!

Also, why is it true that 2 x 8 is equal to 4 x 4 and also 1 x 16?

We will also do number tricks, puzzles, and make art using numbers because math is beautiful and its own kind of art!

Students who attend must be comfortable calculating multiplication problems such as 27 x 89 and 342 x 79.
If you’re unsure if this class is for your child, please reach out to melissa@sonomacommunitycenter.org with your questions.
