               Learning objectives:  Students will learn to apply knowledge of multiplication to solve story sums.

               Example:

               There are 9 packets of pencils, each containing 100 pencils. How many pencils are there in all?


               Solution:

               In  1 packet = 100 pencils                                         1  0  0

               In 9 packets = 100 x 9 =900 pencils                                ×       9

                                                                                  = 9  0 0
               Thus, there are 900 pencils in all





               Learning outcome: Student learn to apply knowledge of multiplication to solve story sums.
