5. Understand the benefits of using lattice multiplication over traditional methods

Multiplication is one of the most basic and essential math operations. And while it might seem simple, there's actually a lot going on behind the scenes. Take, for example, lattice multiplication. This exciting method is a great way to multiply large numbers, and it's not as difficult as it looks. Here's how it works:

First, you'll need to draw a lattice. This is simply a grid made up of squares, with the number of squares depending on the size of the numbers you're multiplying. For example, if you're multiplying two-digit numbers, you'll need a four-square lattice. Once your lattice is drawn, it's time to start multiplying.

To do this, simply write the digits of each number above and to the right of the lattice square, starting with the one digit. Then, working from right to left and top to bottom, fill in the rest of the squares by multiplying the digits in each row and column. When you're finished, draw a line under the last digit in each column to get your answer. With a little practice, you'll be multiplying large numbers like a pro!
