Progressive Oral and Written Drills. SUGGESTION.-Multiplication grows out of addition, and is a short method of adding a number to itself. The numbers only that result from adding one to itself are called prime numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, etc. When a number larger than one is added to itself, the resulting number is called a multiple of that number. The multiples that arise from multiplying a digit by a digit, are the facts to be learned in multiplication, of which there are 36 only, as will be shown in the following drills. DEVELOPMENT OF THE TABLE. Take columns of 2's and bring out the 8 facts of the multiplica REMARK.-The examples are graded, so that the multiplicand has no higher figure than the number treated, but the multiplier may be any of the nine digits. The pupil must be taught how to carry when the product is more than 9. SUGGESTION.-Develop the table of 3's from columns of 3's. Thus: 8 2 9 3 REMARK.-AS 3 x 2 is the same as 2 × 3, this combination educes no new fact, and it is therefore omitted. Only the seven new combinations with 3 are given. SLATE AND BLACKBOARD EXERCISES. REMARK.-It is an excellent exercise to write a long line of 1's, 2's and 3's, and require pupils to multiply in class. SUGGESTION. Since 2 × 4 is the same as 4 × 2, and 3 × 4 as 4 x 3, there are only six new facts to be learned. Thus : |
