W.A.L.T: Use your double and half strategy to work out multiplication 

What I learnt: My double and half strategy

First I went on show me and started to record my self doing my working out. I will show you an example. 16x5=

Half of 16 is 8 then you double the 5 which is 10 then you times 8 and 10. So 8x10=80. So 16x5=80
