Multiply Me is a method to solve mathematic problems that occur while learning mathematics especially when it comes to multiplication, such as difficulty memorizing the multiplication table, not having a calculator, poor memory and others. It is an alternative to memorise the multiplication table ranging from the numbers 6-9 without actually memorising it. Originally from the Chisanbop method, where it is complex and abstract, the method has been simplified to the Multiply-Me method where it is concrete and simple. This method only involves the use of the fingers and toes, thus being a simple and free of charge method. This method will often be used among primary school students who struggle to memorise the multiplication table, and since they are not allowed to use a calculator. With this method, people will not rely on a calculator anymore and they do not have to spend their money to buy a calculator as it id quite expensive. This method is also entertaining for the young minds since they crave creativity in learning. OBJECTIVE: to make it easier to solve mathematics equations, especially when it comes to multiplications. METHODOLOGY: Calculate by using the fingers and toes. For example:  To multiply numbers by 6, use your 5 toes from your left foot and put down 1 finger to become 6. The fingers that had been put down are considered the ‘tens’ and only need to be added. As for the remaining fingers, they are the ‘ones’ and need to be multiplied. This means there are 3 fingers that had been put down (3 X 10 = 30). RESULTS: Get accurate and quick answers. CONCLUSION: Multiply Me is a method that makes it easier for people to understand on how multiplying actually works. With this, there will be more people who are going to love mathematics as soon as they get to know this method because it’s a quick and effective method. Students will also struggle less in class and will have fun instead.
