Maths homework help please

Should have added that the 4 is added to make 9.

Don’t need fingers for 9 x as all I do is deduct one from the number of nines so 6x 9 becomes 5 plus 4 =54.

The GC whose problem started this thread must be a teenager by now!

I expect he's left school now!

Used to joke with son about his tables. Saying perhaps he will learn then at secondary school. Then it was GCSE. Then A level. Then university.
This might sound flippant but he always said don’t need them. Perhaps he was correct. He has a good Maths degree from Imperial College

I used Dienes at school in the early 1960s. It wasn't Montessori.

Yes. I think it may be based on Montessori which is why I asked if anyone knows.

I am another blown away by the beauty of mathematics

I was taught Maths at a Montessori school initially (up to age 10) and I think those methods helped me see the magic and patterning in maths - as in nature.
Thank you to my early teachers.

I hope the lad has grasped learning tables by now.

I think understanding that multiplication is repeated addition is important.

At nearly 75 I can respond instantly( and correctly)! to any times table question, my GC are well impressed. Well I like to think they are.
I learned In primary school by the chanting method.

Initially when we purchased the materials they were wooden, but over the years, we could only purchase plastic ones and they were cheaper.
