I was just tis morning (after I got congradulated on my math skill on the other thread) thinking about what a shame it is that I keep having to learn and relearn 7 X 8, when 56 is such a pretty number. And I love how they line up in
56 = 7x8
so chronological!
I don't mind 6 x 8 so much because it boils down to 8x5 (40) plus 8 x1.
Basically I have no automatic recall of Math facts higher than 5 inspite of having memorized them twice - once for myself and again to help my son. Wonder if it's related to my spelling?
