While Chinese mothers are happy because their children can memorize multiplication tables and nursery rhymes, Indian children are already memorizing 19*19 multiplication tables! No wonder India has made such rapid progress in recent years. The Indian nine-nine table is memorized from 1 to 19 (→19×19 multiplication), but do you know how Indians mentally calculate the multiplication of numbers from 11 to 19? I suddenly realized it after reading the following content. It’s really amazing! Please try to figure out the answer below using mental arithmetic: 13 × 12 = ? (Multiplicand) (Multiplier) The Indians calculate it like this: Step 1: First add \”13\” and the single digit of the multiplier \”2\”, 13+2=15 Step 2: Then add the number 13 Multiply the answer of the first step by 10 (→ that is to say, add a 0 at the end) Step 3: Then multiply the single digit of the multiplicand \”3\” by the single digit of the multiplier \”2\” 2×3=6 Four steps: (13+2)×10+6=156 Just like this, you can quickly calculate the multiplication from 11×11 to 19×19 using mental arithmetic. This is really amazing! Let’s try to calculate: 14×13: (1) 14+3=17 (2) 17×10=170 (3) 4×3=12 (4) 170+12=18216×17: (1) 16+ 7=23 (2) 23×10=230 (3) 6×7=42 (4) 230+42=27219×19 (1) 19+9=28 (2) 28×10=280 (3) 9× 9=81 (4) 280+81=361 It’s really simple, right? Hurry up and take care of your children. You have too many skills to overwhelm your body!
