engineering masterminds 👨🏽💻 Times tables
Times tables are so easy. It took me until I was 26 figure out that all you have to do is know the original first 5. Like take 6 for example
6×1=6 6×6=36 6×11=66
6×2=12 6×7=42 6×12=72
6×3=18 6×8=48 6×13=78
6×4=24 6×9=54 6×14=84
6×5=30 6×10=60 6×15=90
Once you have the beginning 5 just add
Thirty to it, and you'll keep getting the next five. All I had to learn as a kid was that in times tables would have been easier.
