"To multiply two 2-digit numbers without showing work, first multiply the ones digits together, then 'cross-multiply,' and finally multiply the tens digits together.

Make sure to carry whenever a product exceeds 9. As you will see in the examples below, you must work your way from right to left to perform this trick.EX 1:
12 x 23 = ?
  1. Multiply the ones digits: 2x3=6 (ones digit answer).
  2. Cross-multiply and add: (1x3)+(2x2)=7 (tens-digit answer).
  3. Multiply the tens digits: 1x2=2 (hundreds-digit answer).
  4. Combine: 276 (the answer).
