Multiplication without carrying

Multiplication without carrying Multiplication is one of the basic and important arithmetic operation used in different branches of mathematics. Multiplication is denoted by a cross sign . Multiplication of two numbers is like adding one them as many times as the other number. In multiplication the order of the numbers doesnt change the answer. Example 1: There are 32 students in a class. If there are 4 such classes, how many are the total number of students? Solution: Number of students in each class = 32. Number of classes = 4. Total number of students = 32 x 4. Here for the multiplication 4 is multiplied to the ones place 2 x 4 = 8. Now the 4 is multiplied to the tens place 3 x 4 = 12. Now placing the numbers next to each other. Hence 32 x 4 = 128 Total number of students = 128. Question: Multiple choice question (Pick the correct option.) What is the answer when 123 is multiplied with 3? a) 369 b) 300 c) 345 d) None of these. Correct answer: option a. Explanation: Here given for the multiplication 123 x 3 =? Multiply 3 to the ones place this gives 3 x 3 = 9. Multiply 3 to the tens place this gives 2 x 3 = 6. Now multiply 3 to the hundreds place this gives 1 x 3 = 3.

Discover 5 of the best ESL teaching destinations in Eastern Europe

Discover 5 of the best ESL teaching destinations in Eastern Europe After earning your TEFL certificate, you may be struggling to decide where to teach English abroad. While Asia and Western Europe are perennial favorites, Eastern Europe is quickly rising in popularity among ESL teachers. Indeed, teaching English in Eastern Europe is a great option for new and experienced teachers alike. There’s currently a huge and growing demand for ESL instructors, resulting in many schools covering airfare and accommodations, along with sponsoring their work visas. Most importantly, many Eastern European countries offer competitive salaries to English teachers. While boasting equally splendid monuments and natural wonders as Western Europe, Eastern Europe is typically more affordable. So, English teachers are able to live well on their wages, afford to travel, save money, and enjoy what their new city has to offer. To learn more about becoming an ESL teacher in Eastern Europe, we compiled this guide to five of the best countries to teach English in. 1. Russia As the world’s largest country, Russia has a lot to offer ESL teachers. Despite its aloof, mysterious reputation, this global superpower is welcoming to English-speaking foreigners who wish to teach in their public and private schools. Once you land, you’ll be swept up in Russia’s whirlwind of wonders, including its vibrant arts culture, famous monuments, and sprawling landscapes. In Russia, English is a required part of the public school curriculum, so the demand for foreign ESL teachers is very high in public schools. Private international schools are another teaching opportunity, with children and adults alike taking classes to learn English or sharpen their language skills. If you teach English in Russia, you can expect to be paid based on experience. Applicants should have a TEFL/TESL certificate and preferably prior employment as an ESL teacher. More veteran teachers can earn up to $2,000 USD per month, while novice instructors are typically paid between $1,000-1,500 USD. Many teaching contracts also include housing, which can substantially reduce the cost of living in Russia. As you might expect, major cities like St. Petersburg and Moscow are typically more expensive than smaller, lesser-known ones. But on the whole, Russia is less costly than most Western nations in Europe and North America. 2. Turkey Live where Europe and Asia meet by choosing to teach English in Turkey. Known for its incredible history, breathtaking monuments, and eclectic cuisine, the country is a thrilling choice for adventurous ESL teachers. Beyond its exciting attractions, there are numerous advantages to teaching abroad in Turkey, including higher wages than many Eastern European nations. Teachers in international schools typically earn $2,000-3,000 per month, plus they are provided with benefits packages. If you are lucky enough to earn an ESL contract in a top school, you could earn up to $5,000 per month. The cost of living in Turkey is quite low, so ESL teachers will find their salaries go a long way. To teach English in Turkey, applicants are required to have a TESL certificate. Preference for open teaching positions is typically given to individuals with previous teaching experience. 3. Bulgaria Nestled by the Black Sea and peppered with mountain ranges, Bulgaria is a secret gem for English teachers looking to enjoy days off filled with majestic nature walks and picturesque seaside trips. Since joining the European Union in 2007, the country’s demand for English language courses has risen rapidly with many private and international schools in Sofia, Varna, and Plovdiv hiring ESL teachers from abroad. To teach English in Bulgaria, prospective applicants should have a TEFL certificate, as well as a Bachelor’s degree.

The peak hiring month is September, followed by a second wave of hiring in January, as the school season runs from September to June. ESL teachers can work in public schools scattered across the country. Private international schools are also an option.

In Romania, the average workweek for English teachers is 25 hours, plus additional prep time. Entry-level ESL teachers at Romanian schools can expect to earn $600-1,000 USD per month, while more certified and experienced instructors receive salaries of up to $2,000 USD. 5. Lithuania If you’re an ESL teacher, the thought of teaching abroad in Lithuania has probably never crossed your mind. But maybe you should reconsider! Sitting on the Black Sea, Lithuania is the most southern of Eastern Europe’s Baltic States, meaning it’s blessed with gorgeous beaches and an enviable climate. There is also a nostalgic feel about the country, with cobblestone streets and baroque cathedrals adorning the skyline. To teach English in Lithuania at its private language schools, you’ll need a TEFL certificate and a Bachelor’s degree. International schools require additional credentials from applicants, typically asking for a degree in Education and previous teaching experience. ESL teacher salaries in Lithuania range from $1,000-2,500 USD per month, depending on experience level, type of school, and other factors. International schools generally pay more than private language institutions. Similar to the other Baltic States, Lithuania is very affordable and ESL teachers can live comfortably, even on the lower end of the salary scale.
