I will check to see of my granddaughter still has any of the math worksheets from 6th grade, and if so, I’ll give you some examples. I won’t be able to check until Friday, so this will be in-process till then. Ping me if I don’t get back to you by early next week as my schedule is hectic and I don’t recall as well as I use to.

No problem whatsoever ... I’m curious as to how something as simple as 6th grade math could be made complex. Are they factoring? Such as factoring by Prime numbers?

Example:
16 x 12 = (4 x 4) x (2 x 6)
= ((2 x 2)x(2 x 2)) x (2 x (2 x 3))
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
=2^6 x 3
= 64 x 3
= 192
