Q4.Summer turned to page one of her maths test and saw the question was 2534 x 6. Last week they were taught both mental strategies and formal written methods and is unsure which one to use. Why would the formal written method be better to use for this question?

It is impossible to make mistakes using short multiplication You can run out any mistakes you make. Mental strategies work better only on rounded numbers The question requires a lot of regrouping which can make mental strategies less efficient and effective.
