1. Multiplication using the Traditional Method: The traditional method of multiplication involves multiplying the digits of the multiplicand (the number being multiplied) with the digits of the multiplier (the number by which we multiply). The products of each digit are then added to obtain the final product.

2. Multiplication using Expanded Form: In this method, each digit of the multiplicand and the multiplier is expanded into its place value form. The products of each digit are then added to find the final product.

3. Multiplication using Estimation: Estimation method involves rounding off the multiplicand and the multiplier to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands, and then performing the multiplication. The products obtained are then adjusted according to the rounding off.


1. Division using the Traditional Method: The traditional method of division involves dividing the dividend (the number being divided) by the divisor (the number by which we divide) digit by digit. The quotient is obtained by dividing each digit of the dividend with the divisor and writing the result below the dividend.

2. Division using Repeated Subtraction: In this method, the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the dividend until the dividend becomes smaller than the divisor. The number of times the divisor is subtracted gives the quotient, and the remainder is the difference between the final dividend and the last subtraction.

3. Division using Estimation: Estimation method involves rounding off the dividend and the divisor to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands, and then performing the division. The quotient obtained is then adjusted according to the rounding off.


These different methods of multiplication and division taught in Class 6 Mathematics provide a comprehensive understanding of how to perform these operations efficiently. By mastering these methods, students can solve various numerical problems and gain a solid foundation for higher-level mathematics.
