@robertkaplinsky @pustam_egr @christianp @tao @marybourassa @mathequalslove @standupmaths @KarenCampe Hi friends and members of and I need your help: I have a child and he needs to multiply. So in his school teachers teach him "multiply tables".

But I think in 21th century we could do better to memorize digit x digit tables.

Is there any method using only sums and counts and using ideally fingers to get a×b without having to memorize?

You can justify using modulars forms of super-abstract-algebra if you want, but the problem is easy: find an east algorithm to get the multiplication of axb where a, b are interers < 9.

I did not find nothing more than:

- multiply by 9:

- multiply by numbers between 6 and 9

youtube.com/watch?v=xetE0IN-w3 but it requieres multiply by numbers less than 5.

- ypu can reduce to memorize all multiply tables to just a×b where a<b which gives us just 55 lines of memorization instead of 100.

But this are not ideal result.

I CC some university professors because perhaps you know some research about that rather than regular secondary or primary teachers.

Thanks in advance and sorry for disturb you.

Welcome back.

The trick here is following.

Following is the algorithm.

Quick method is make a post using hashtags that define some basic interests, then _after _posting your "Hi I'm interested in #flowers #tables #voting" -CLICK on each hashtag and in the new column, FOLLOW each hashtag.

Anyone that posts with them will show up in your home feed.

Follow the folks who use the tag well, follow their best followers, follow people who they follow.

round the circle grows.

As I mentioned, WorkSation will take some time since I only have plans for it right now. However, I’ve already created another project called OpenTables, which is HTML-based. OpenTables is a program designed for creating tables and exporting them as PNG files. It’s similar to the programs that most companies use but is completely free. OpenTables will be accessible in the browser on any device, with a special focus on iPad and PC usability!
