Tutorial 2
Using VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE you do not need to the multiplication tables beyond 5 X 5.
Suppose you need 8 x 7
8 is 2 below 10 and 7 is 3 below 10.Think of it like this:The answer is 56.The diagram below shows how you get it.You subtract crosswise 8-3 or 7 - 2 to get 5,the first figure of the answer.And you multiply vertically: 2 x 3 to get 6,the last figure of the answer.
That's all you do:
See how far the numbers are below 10, subtract onenumber's deficiency from the other number, andmultiply the deficiencies together.
7 x 6 = 42Here there is a carry: the 1 in the 12 goes over to make 3 into 4.

Tutorial 1
Use the formula ALL FROM 9 AND THE LAST FROM 10 to perform instant subtractions.
For example 1000 - 357 = 643
We simply take each figure in 357 from 9 and the last figure from 10.So the answer is 1000 - 357 = 643
And thats all there is to it!
This always works for subtractions from numbers consisting of a 1 followed by noughts: 100; 1000; 10,000 etc.
Similarly 10,000 - 1049 = 8951
For 1000 - 83, in which we have more zeros than figures in the numbers being subtracted, we simply suppose 83 is 083.
So 1000 - 83 becomes 1000 - 083 = 917
