This is neat!

To multiply any number between 1 and 9 by 9 hold both hands in front of your face - drop the finger that corresponds to the number you are multiplying (for example 9×3 - drop your third finger) - count the fingers before the dropped finger (in the case of 9×3 it is 2) then count the numbers after (in this case 7) - the answer is 27.

That's how I learned it 20 years ago....always been the easiest way to show kids how to multiply by nine.

Hey! That IS cool!!
I always used to have to make two columns of numbers, the first starting with zero and going to 9, and then one next to it starting with 9 and going down to zero. This is MUCH easier! Thanks for sharing! Math was never my strong subject!! Still isn't!!
