 Now I request to create a video asmr math right with a math video with asmr slant on how to generate the multiplication table for a 12 by 12 multiplication table, okay, and I believe this comment was posted on the asmr video that I had where I was showing you my grandmother's backgammon board, right? And the person mentioned that I can't remember who the name was that I'm really bad at pronouncing names. I'm sorry if if you're watching this I'm not pronouncing your your username, but the person mentioned that they never got to learn the multiplication table and They you know once you don't know a multiplication table you end up having a hard time in mathematics, right? Because multiplication tables one of the first things you need to learn, right? And it hadn't occurred to me to make this video so thank you for making this request because it is really important to learn your multiplication table and You know this sort of got me motivated to do this right to create an asmr slant Sort of a video to teach the multiplication table and how how beautiful it is and how you know It is fairly easy to learn once you do it a few times and there is Cemetery within the multiplication table, which you know will help you appreciate the table a lot more, right now What we're going to do we're gonna learn not a 12 by 12 multiplication table We're gonna generate a 10 by 10 grid and learn the 10 by 10 multiplication table Okay, and just to just to make sure that it's it's appreciated how important this is for me I usually you know don't deal with the students that are You know an elementary school, which is where you learn your multiplication table, right? Usually I'm dealing with students in you know in high school But when I start working with students or a group of students If I find out they don't know their multiplication table, you know doesn't make a difference What level they're on even if they're in grade 12 or grade 8 doesn't anywhere in between doesn't make a difference No matter what we're working on if they don't know their multiplication table. I stop everything, right? I slam on the brakes and I take them back to the multiplication table And I get them to learn this table because you really can't do anything else if you don't know your multiplication table, right? It's like trying to learn how to read and write without knowing your ABCs. It's impossible. Okay, so super important to learn this So what we're gonna do in the next three videos, I guess the first video we're gonna set up the grid We're gonna set up her 10 by 10 Table right and I'm gonna show you how I end up doing it and it's sort of not a trick But a system that I used when I was doing Geophysics and it involves using a little bit of trigonometry special triangles, which are I think they're called the Pythagorean Triplets or Pythagorean triples or something like this where and they're basically Using triangles where all the size right angle triangles where all the sides are integers, right? And there's an infinite number of these types of triangles, but I usually end up using The base triangle of 3 4 5 right 3 squared plus 4 squared equals 5 squared So Pythagorean triples or these special right angle triangles are triangles where the sides are always integers, right? Which you know doesn't occur all the time, but there are a lot of them an infinite number of them, right? So as far as I know, there's an infinite number of them So basically the way it works is a triangle such as 3 4 5 is One of these special triangles or any multiple of these side lengths, right? 6 8 10 is the same deal, right? 30 40 50 is the same deal, right? So we're going to use that special triangle to set up our grid and it is something that I did Whenever I did geophysics whenever I went to the field for about a decade I did geophysics traveling all over place setting up grids collecting data and the first step of Doing field work was to set up a grid. Okay, so it's not just you know for exercise purposes that we're going to do this Use this method to set up a grid This is actually a practical method sort of survey style To set up a grid that I used for a decade and every geophysicist in the world use this, right? Or as use at some point So that's the first video coming up. We're going to set up the grid the second video We're actually going to learn the multiplication table, right the 10 by 10 multiplication table and again super important to learn This table. It's if you don't know it You should stop everything else that you're doing and learn this table because you end up using it a lot And it's not about how fast you can regurgitate You know Provide solutions to what the multiplications are, right? It's just that you know it because you're gonna have enough practice in the real world That it's gonna become automatic and if you need a little help in learning this thing I put out two videos showing you two hand tricks of how to do your multiplication table One of them is you know the nine multiplication table They use both your hands and your full number and it's pretty neat trick and another one is One that a student actually showed it to me where you use your hands and it's used for multiplying 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Right, and it's a nice little trick to help you remember the higher numbers Okay, and the third video that we're going to use that we're going to do Since we're going to set up a grid What I'm going to show you is a math puzzle game that a student showed me It's sort of a Pattern recognition game, but you can think about it as a 10 by 10 math puzzle game and After this was a few years ago where my students showed it to me and I ended up playing it for a few months And it was it was a lot of fun Especially once you started to recognize the patterns, right? So it was sort of addictive for a few months. They started playing it and I never was able to complete it But I got like a one step away from completing it and my student that showed it to me He was originally from turkey and he said that I'll you know, the game was popular there I'm not sure what the name of this game is and I'm not sure what the origins of this game is but My student had been playing it for about for about three years and For three years he played it and he was only able to get one solution complete the The puzzle only once right and he actually provided a solution to me because he He kept it it was he was magic for him So he kept that piece of paper where he had the solution worked out. Okay, and after after playing with this for a while I actually ended up writing a little article on it Just a little piece giving the rules and providing the examples and the solution my You know, how far I got into it and a couple of people that read this And they provided comments and one person provided a python. I believe it was a python Program to generate solutions for this For this game for this puzzle, right? So one person generated created a program to generate solutions for this which was brilliant and another person created I forget what type of program was. I think it was a jar program or something like this something very simple Where you loaded the module on your computer and instead of having to do it on a 10 by 10 piece of paper The program would pop up and it was a 10 by 10 You know grid on your screen computer screen and you could base, you know, based on the rules that the movement types that you had, you know, you fill in Filled in the squares and see how far you got and that was that was fantastic and thank you to those people that provided Those two programs, right? Okay, so that's what we're going to do for the next three videos Is basically play around with a 10 by 10 Grid, right? One of them is to generate it another one is to learn the multiplication table and the other one is To have a little game on it, right? Have have some fun with that grid. Okay I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions, I guess post comments and I'll try to get to them or any recommendations because this Set of videos definitely comes from recommendations. Okay, and thank you for The person who posted that that comment. Okay That's it for now. I'll see you guys in the next video
