1. The problem asks to calculate the products of two pairs of numbers: $2 \times 2$ and $3 \times 3$. 2. The formula for multiplication is $a \times b = c$, where $a$ and $b$ are numbers and $c$ is their product. 3. Calculate $2 \times 2$: multiply 2 by 2 to get $4$. 4. Calculate $3 \times 3$: multiply 3 by 3 to get $9$. 5. So, the answers are $4$ and $9$ respectively.
