For any reporter, education is a topic where everything else - money, politics, et cetera - intersects. I have four kids in K through 12, so I'm knee-deep in it. I'm really interested in the philosophy behind it all. Should you just memorize your multiplication tables, or should you understand the concept behind them?

American Journalist

Pardis Sabeti

My sister taught me addition and subtraction and multiplication and division, so by the time I got to school, I knew it all, and when we'd do the times tables, I was just focused on doing it faster than anybody else. I already had the information, so it just got me to focus on excellence.

Iranian Scientist

Nicky Morgan

We will expect every pupil by the age of 11 to know their times tables off by heart, to perform long division and complex multiplication and to be able to read a novel. They should be able to write a short story with accurate punctuation, spelling and grammar.

British Politician

Katharine Lee Bates

Warwick Castle, built of the very centuries, cannot be expected to alter with time's 'brief hours and weeks' - at least, with so few of them as fall to one poor mortal's lot. From visit to visit, I find it as unchanged as the multiplication table.

American Author

Paul Romer

People are reasonably good at estimating how things add up, but for compounding, which involved repeated multiplication, we fail to appreciate how quickly things grow.

American Economist

Vladimir Nabokov

There is nothing in the world that I loathe more than group activity, that communal bath where the hairy and slippery mix in a multiplication of mediocrity.

American Novelist

Wendell Phillips

What is fanaticism today is the fashionable creed tomorrow, and trite as the multiplication table a week after.

American Activist

Jordan Peterson

The multiplication force of technology on cognitive differences is massive.

Canadian Psychologist

Robert Andrews Millikan

Civilization consists in the multiplication and refinement of human wants.

American Physicist

Mark Twain

Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities.

American Writer

Used mainly in mathematics to describe repeated addition of the same number.

Mathematical Concept

Can refer to increasing things that can be counted, but not necessarily numbers.

Not Just Numbers

Often paired with 'times' to indicate the number of repetitions in math.

Used with 'Times'

In biology, 'multiplication' often refers to the increase of living organisms.

Biological Growth

Covers all forms of life, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Beyond Humans

Some organisms multiply asexually, without mating.

Not Always Sexual

Also refers to increasing the presence of something tangible or digital.

Beyond Printing

Refers to the widespread distribution of information or media content.

Media Spread

Implies a fast or large-scale increase when used outside mathematics.

Rapid Increase

 Other symbols are used to represent operations. Some of these are especially valuable as shorthand because they condense repeated operations into a single expression. The repeated addition of the same number is abbreviated with a multiplication sign

Where do math symbols...

 The problem is with this operator. So, division -- we've used division because it's the inverse to multiplication, but as I've just said, the multiplication is a bit of a lie here. This is a very, very complicated, very non-linear operation;

 They are very visual and one of them is called, "vertically and crosswise," through which you can multiply any number by any number in a single line. So I'm going to do a two-digit by a two-digit multiplication. Let's do this.
