Now let's describe in detail how to do it with one, and to be precise, with Omni's multiplication calculator. Nevertheless, this concludes the part about how to multiply without a calculator.

To be perfectly honest, the first two were pretty much the same thing it's just that the intermediate steps were in a different order.

For us, this translates to putting the dot to the left of 2 2 2, which gives 0.250 = 0.25 0.250 = 0.25 0.250 = 0.25 (we write 0 0 0 if we have no number in front of the dot).Īll in all, we've seen how to multiply decimals in three ways. We then write the dot that many digits from the right in what we obtained. Then we count how many digits to the right of the dots we had in total in the numbers we started with (in this case, it's three: one in 0.2 0.2 0.2 and two in 1.25 1.25 1.25). Most of them got the idea and succeeded beautifully.When multiplying decimals, say, 0.2 0.2 0.2 and 1.25 1.25 1.25, we can begin by forgetting the dots. I reasoned it would be easy for them to memorize these simple facts. Many of these children had failed repeatedly in mathematics. Since then, I have suggested that parents extent the multiplication table up to 30 x 30 for their children. When I inquired of several Indian parents about this, they said that the multiplication table went up to 30 x 30 because paper is very expensive in India! But in India some schools extend the multiplication table up to 100 x 100. In most countries in Europe and Asia, the multiplication table of 9 x 9 or 10 x 10 is commonly taught. Why do we stop teaching the multiplication after 12 x 12?įor young children it is very easy to memorize facts.

After this occurred his classmates began calling him a genius. He told his friends that in India the multiplication table included 30 x 30 and therefore, he could recite it easily. Comes in one of the three sizes 11'x17' 18'x24' 24'x26' Printed with Dye/Pigment Reactive Ink On archival matte paper Shipped in heavy duty poster tube Heavy weight (230 gsm), thick base (9.5 mil), and an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. This young star could not resist telling to his classmates that he knew the answer immediately instead of going through a tedious formula. One easy table for multiplication from ranges 1 to 20. In the math class, the multiplication of two digit numbers had been taught. Indian people have dominated the world of commerce for centuries in the west of India.Ī few years ago one of my colleagues told me a story about an Indian teenager who came to the United States.

The idea of “zero” was first conceived by an Indian mathematician “Aryabhatta”. In India, people are known to be very skilled in mathematics.
