Multiplication Tables Are Taught Wrong

[@ComboClass]

Let me explain why multiplication tables are often taught wrong, and show a bunch of underrated patterns within them: 0:00 - Part 1: Metamemorization 2:26 - Parts 2 and 3: Primes and Composites 5:58 - Parts 4, 8, and 9: Squares and Almost-Squares 13:30 - Parts 10 and 100 and etc: The Beauty of Zooming Out 19:40 - Part Infinity: Conclusionfinity Thanks for watching! Leave a comment about your favorite part. And consider showing this video to a teacher in your life (if teachers incorporated more of these patterns when teaching arithmetic, I don’t think as many people would hate multiplication tables!). If you want bonus content, I've been doing livestreams every few days on my @Domotro channel, which are saved like videos on that channel's "live" tab afterwards. There is also a Combo Class "Discord" where combo lords chat, and a "Patreon" for those able to help fund future episodes (see the video description for names of my supporters and links to those).

Dude this is literally the most entertaining mathematics channel in history, and I've checked most of them for years. It's clearly underrated (or at least I hope it's the people interested in mathematics who are few keeping the subs low for its quality).

[@Lilly-Lilac]

It’s also very interesting how these “multiplication tables” generalize to other operations. Tables like these are incredibly useful for representing the abstract notion of function composition with regards to groups and their actions (and many other places, but I found it very helpful in that case.) Noticing patters akin to the square numbers or primes etc can give you a much better idea of the group you’re dealing with.

[@xaropevic7918]

An interesting property of square numbers that I always forget but find cool is a thing that I remembered this video is that if you pick a number, let's start simple with 1 and 2, then square it, so we get 1 and 4, then subtract the bigger one with the smaller one, we get 3, then we repeat the process with the bigger becoming the smaller number and its successor, so 2 and 3, then squaring it, we get 4 and 9, then we do 9-4 and we get 5, which is 3+2, and we can repeat that process a lot of times (for example 16-9=7, 25-16=9, 36-25=11, 49-36=13, 64-49=15 and so on)

[@aComedicPianist]

There are two things I’ve discovered in this video by looking at the times table: The difference of consecutive same-parity integers happens perpendicularly to the perfect squares diagonal and symmetrically from the perfect squares diagonal until the difference becomes 0, reaching the outer edges. This relates to the other thing: The sum of same-parity integers form diagonals parallel to the perfect squares diagonal, but they’re offset by the integer they start on and are the addition of the same parity of that integer.

[@PotatoSofi]

The only problem with teaching kids exactly like this is that it presents way too many concepts at once. The best way to first ever present a times table to a kid is as an addition table, showing different patterns with sum and subtraction on the times table, then presenting the division one as the perfect opposite. After all that, it would definitely be benefical to slowly present some of those concepts you showed here and quite a lot of those would be useful for future concepts.

[@ComboClass]

I agree it shouldn’t be this fast paced if teaching a kid, you’d want to spread these patterns over the course of different days and spend time having the kid “discover” them and ask questions about them, instead of giving all these answers right away

[@RichConnerGMN]

[@MarloTheBlueberry]

I absolutely love this channel. You do such a great job at teaching! Keep it up!

[@Roxor128]

I never properly memorised my times-tables. I fill in the gaps with addition or subtraction, depending on whether the closest value that comes to mind is above or below what I need. One thing nobody taught me about times-tables as a kid, but I realised when studying computer science at uni, and that I wish more people knew about, is that they're an example of the space-time tradeoff in action. It's a lookup table, trading increased memory for reduced compute time. You're spending a hundred slots in your memory to save the time you'd otherwise spend calculating those commonly-used values. For an actual use in a real program of such a technique, transparency in Duke Nukem 3D uses a 256*256 2D lookup table to find which colour in the game's palette should be used for a 1/3 transparent pixel (or 2/3 by swapping the order) when overlaying transparent walls or sprites. The actual calculations of what colour you'd get with a 2:1 mix of any two colours in the game's palette, and which colour in the palette was the closest match to it, was done by the developers during development and saved to a file that the game can then load from disk on startup. It takes 64KB of memory at runtime, which is not insignificant for a game that has to run on machines with 8MB of memory, but it's much faster than calculating three linear interpolations and then searching through the 256 palette entries for the closest match. Definitely worthwhile if it means you can run the game on a 486, rather than a Pentium.

[@AllegraPersephone]

Some people have dyscalculia, to a lesser or greater degree. This can interfere with times table memorization, particularly around the 6x7, 7x7, 7x8 area of the times tables. In elementary my teacher separated me with a few other students and put us into a kind of special ed group for math, where they gave us basic sums and then gave us a stamp or a star, as if good job for getting this easy sum correct. Well I surely wasn't going to protest as I liked those little rewards and the sums were easy. They didn't seem to have any way to identify autism and dyscalculia then, or ways to give special attention or better suited education methods to anyone different. Anyway, many years later I realized something about 6x7 and 7x6, the answer is the meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything. If A=1, B=2, C=3 ... then MATH = 42. These associations lodged it into a different part of my memory, where there was an apparent disconnect or deficit before. I didn't have a learning difficulty, I had a learning difference. I had attention problems. I was bored. I could have probably advanced years beyond everyone else. I at least hope the education system has changed since I was at school, and there is more awareness and support for people who are different.

[@Escviitash]

And the pattern, as shown in the 3 * 5 example, continues. For all numbers their product is: the average, squared - the distance from the average, squared e.g 7 * 4 Average = (7 + 4)/2 = 5.5 Distance = (7 - 4)/2 = 1.5 (5.5)^2 = 30.25 (1.5)^2 = 2.25 30.25 - 2.25 = 28 = 7 * 4. It extends to all real numbers, no matter the signage. e.g -7 * 4 Average = (-7 + 4)/2 = 1.5 Distance = (-7 - 4)/2 = -5.5 (the same absolute values as for 7 * 4, but swapped) 2.25 - 30.25 = -28 = -7 * 4

[@stalfithrildi5366]

As a secondary school maths teacher in the UK, I often get pupils who have struggled to memorise all the tables. I get them to memorise the squares and work from there to get 8x7 etc as its the exact method that got me thru to Post Grad studies.

[@EvilSandwich]

The difference of squares trick is my favorite way to make people think I'm smarter than I actually am. By my ability to "effortlessly calculate" that 58 x 62 is 3596. Or 29 x 31 is 899. I'm not literally crunching the numbers in my head, I'm just cheesing the rules lol

[@0Shitou]

Let's say you are asked to multiply two numbers which are not far away from each other. I'll take the Example with 21x28 First step: find the "middle number" between 1 and 8 middle number is either 4.5 So you can select anyone you want but I'll select always de smallest one; 4 in this case. Then 21x28 = 24x24 + 24 - (28-24)*(28-23) Thus: 24x24 + 24 - 4*3 Now, I dont know how much 24x24 is but I do know that: (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b² hence: 24x24 = 20² + 2*20*4 + 4² And finally, 21x28 = 20² + 2*20*4 + 16 +24 - 12 = 20² + 188 = 588 If the two numbers are too far away like: 21x51,then: 21x51 = 21x25*2+21 and calculate 21x25 as 23² - 4 = 20² + 2*3*20 + 9 - 4 = 400+120+5=525 So: 525*2+21=1071 With Practise you can do this mentally pretty fasy

[@AllegraPersephone]

21×28. This is how I do it. 10×28=280×2=400+160=560+28=588. It seems complex but it seems to me the easiest path.

When I found out about the almost square numbers being very similar to square numbers, I tried doing my own research generalizing the pattern and extending it more down the line. The pattern would go: a²=(a-n)*(a+n)+n² which can be really useful if you needed to calculate something like 28*32, as 30*30 is easy and going 4 down leaves you with 896...

[@tristantheoofer2]

this is actually exactly what i do sorta lol. like if its 8*11 i just do 11*11 (121) then subtract the first numbers (11 and 8) in my head, so 3. then multiply that by 11 (33) then subtract it from 121. 121 - 33 is 88

[@RichConnerGMN]

nice pfp

[@watcher314159]

There's actually a general case for the (n+1)(n-1)=n²-1 type of "almost square" that I actually find really useful. (n+x)(n-x)=n²-x². So 6×2=(4+2)(4-2)=4²-2²=16-4=12. And indeed, if you continue moving diagonally away from the squares on your multiplication table you'll see this pattern of subtracting swuares quite clearly. And what I mean by finding this really useful is that if I have to, say, multiply 40×46 in my head, I'll often find it easier to find the square of 43 and then subtract 9 from it. Not that I have 43² memoried, but I can work my way up from 40² (which is 4²×10²=16×100=1600). (n+1)²=n²+2n+1 after all, so I just add 81+83+85=(80×3)+(1+3+5)=249 to 1600 for 43²=1849, and thus 40×46=1840. Yeah, sure, I could also do 40²+(40×6), but often I personally find the "almost square" method reduces the number of things I have to keep in memory all at once (and also the fact that they use different operators, plus the ability to add on my fingers rather than doing even more mental multiplication, helps me avoid mixing things up). It's not always the right tool for the job, but it's a tool I've found to be worth knowing (it's also one of the first bits of math I derived from first principles without any help as a kid (without even using algebra), so I have an admitted soft spot for it).

I have ADHD, so I stubbornly refused to memorise anything... I "cheated" by figuring out "tricks" to avoid actually remembering the tables, like times x * 2 is just x + x and x * 5 is just (x*10) / 2 and x * 10 is simply adding a trailing zero etc. Which means rather than memorising; I figured out what multiplication actually means.

[@SteinGauslaaStrindhaug]

Memorising 144 different answers never made sense to me when I can remember about 30 and never be more than two simple addition/subtractions away from the answer. I also never liked history. So many dates to memorise and they were just meaningless to me.

[@stickmcskunky4345]

This general idea of teaching by way of showing what patterns exist, indicating where they overlap in different representations, and then extrapolating that pattern outwards.. it's fire. It's very broadly applicable as so many patterns are overlapping and relatable across so many systems and compositions. One commenter mentioned that the only problem with teaching kids this way is that it's too much at once. I disagree to the extent that I believe that most humans, and especially some, are geared towards recognizing patterns and then seeing how they fit together and finally extrapolating what the broader system looks like.. we *want* to see how it fits together and our biology backs up that drive. There could be no foul in exposing young curious minds to some of the fundamental overarching patterns in many arenas, and I'm in agreement that it's probably the thing to do in fact.

[@frank.e.underwood]

Most things fallen in any video of yours I've watched :) Once I memorized the primes up to 199, I felt like I could intuitively calculate all the other numbers in the cells. I memorized them because I like to count primes when I do breathwork, or am in line waiting for something, just as some fun for my brain. I never would've done it at a teachers request because I'm that kind of stubborn. Primes are the gateway drug to numbers. Math could be so fun in school if they let it be.

[@philj9594]

It seems complicated to people, but imo using patterns is infinitely more easy than rote memorization of the entire table. In fact, it blows my mind that people actually do that. I actually didn't even learn with a table. I just gradually picked up on various patterns myself as I progressed through math. Idk why, but my school didn't even use times tables for the gifted class. Only the regular class was forced to memorize them. I guess they just assumed we'd pick it up naturally? They were right, but I think most people really don't even need the table to get good at it.

[@codatheseus5060]

Yep, ive got the 12x12 times table memorized from 3rd grade still Now ive got the times table (cayley table) for the sedenions which are defined by 15 imaginary axis which each square to negative one (for 15 different directions for rotation) and 1 real axis for scaling. Technically every single combination of elements of the 15x15 sized cayley table exists for some setup for sedenions, because you can change whether the element squares to negative one or positive one, and the fact that their names are entirely arbitrary. The setup i have memorized is equivalent to a matrix with the format (reals) (along the diagonal), -i, -j, -k, ... (i being the standard imaginary numbers, and you have all of them one after the other along the first row all negative) then all the imaginaries go in their respective antidiagonals and when they cross the regular diagonal they switch to positive versions of themselves. The rest of the items are actually super easy to figure out because the pattern you got from filling out the first half with the information ive given you

[@R.B.]

I hadn't considered the almost square factors before. Looking at those diagonals reveals difference of two squares. If you know your square numbers, fanning out from them orthogonally, you just subtract square numbers for the distance from the square diagonal. That fact alone helps you figure out half the numbers in the table. As for your curve, I think it might be more clear to say greater than 100 or greater than 10. This is because you aren't going to start counting at 0 for that band, 0 being a special case. Not only will it improve the appearance of the curve, but it makes more sense logically.
