Multiplication With Your Fingers

THANK YOU !

if you multiply by 1 your just adding 1 time so instead of times you say
5x1=5 adding five one time equals five
2x1=2 adding two one time equals two
3x1=3 adding three one time equals three.

you can say also adding three repeatedly one time wich is what your doing.

ex
5x2=10 pronounced adding five repeatedly two times equals ten. if you have to be ultra clear.

5x1=5
initials for
5
5x2=10 pronounced adding five two times equals ten total
initials for
5+5=10
5x3=15 pronounced adding five three times equals fifteen initials for
5+5+5=15
5x4=20 pronounced correctly adding five four times equals twenty total
initials for
5+5+5+5=20
5x5=25 pronounced correctly adding five five times equals twenty five total
initials for
5+5+5+5+5=25
and so on. stop saying times in the middle it goes on the end unless your mult by 1 and students will do better scores.

your better off at understand how and what the math code was for as a form of initialing and pronouncing the operations correctly so students arent confused xdem. 5x1=5 is not pronounced five times one equals five the correct and clear pronounciation is adding five one time equals five. 5x2=10 is initialing for 5+5=10 like writing your initials. its pronounced adding five two times wich is the math operation. thier is a big difference between understanding an operation and memorizing it.

a student is also only as good as thier teacher.

stop overcomplicating something simple. its not students bad math skills that make them bad at multiplication its unclear and mistaught math ideas. a teacher is only as good as a student.
another example of initialing is if albert einstien wrote his name it would be A.E. for his initials. its a form of shorthand for repeated longhand addition and designed as a memory aid to remove counting operations and rely on memory.

I know an easier way. LEARN YOUR TABLES!

i know an easier way..learn and teach what the code is for that way you dont have to learn through memorization. its simple addition not rocket science. stop telling students 5x1=5 the correct pronounciation is adding 5 one time equals five. 5x2=10 correct pronounciation is adding five two times equals ten. you simply add the number to the left the number of times of the number to the right of the times sign. LOL. most students do to bad teaching habbits dont understand multiplication=addition

the code is a form of shorthand or initialing just like writing your names, its a quick and easy way of writing something and saves time and space on paper.
example.
2x10=20 (adding two ten times equals twenty)
vs
2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=20
you can easily see the 2x10 is quicker to write and saves paper space. stop saying 5x1=5 as five TIMES one equals five,its correctly pronounced adding five one time equals five total wich is the adding/math operations.
clear instruction is everything.

you can try stuying harder and then you have some finger left so you can shove them up this ass
