Answer :

Breaking apart 6x6 is useless. It's already broken apart. The  breaking apart method is used to multiply larger numbers, in your head. Like 160 x 4
[tex]160 * 4[/tex]
Break apart the larger number into a set of addends that sums up to 160. 100 and 60 are addends.
[tex]100 * 4 = 400[/tex] Multiply both numbers by the multiplier ( 4 )
[tex]60 * 4 = 240[/tex] (You can even break down the 60 into something smaller)
[tex]400 + 240 = 640[/tex] Add up both of the products to get your final answer.


So, according to you, breaking apart is finding the each product, so,

6 × 6
= 2 × 3 × 2 × 3
= 4 × 9
= 36

Hope this helps you
