Do the Math

We arranged some stamps in ten rows with ten stamps in each row.  How many stamps are in the arrangement?  Be the first to post your answer below.  Please explain how you got the answer.  If a posted answer is correct, please do not post the same answer unless you can explain a different way of arriving at it. 

Teachers, feel free to use this problem in your classroom and post the answer.  (The problems will not always be this easy!)  Also, consider making up a math problem at your grade level and posting it for others.

  1. I'm sure the answer is 100 because ten times ten equals 100.

  2. I went 5x10=50. And then I went 50x2=100
