Like the 7s and 8s are always hard to remember. But, never really had to use it. I just use a calculator.

I don’t know them. I was put in an “enriched” math class in fourth grade, and me and a few others would go to a separate classroom for math. I remember the rest of my class memorized their multiplication tables that year.

Us “enriched” kids learned how to use an abacus.

Third grade. 1990-1991. Midwest. I swear we spent half the year having multiplication tables engraved in our memories forever. I know them all.

Nope. But, like I ever been n a situation where I needed it.

Is that common in the US?

I’m married to an American, and she didn’t know her multiplication tables either. It blew my mind because she got through 4 years of college and grad school. And she’s a teacher.

I don’t know if it’s common or not. But, I also don’t want to portray I’m dumb when it comes to math. Like I got a B in college algebra. I think it’s more so that we don’t really need to memorize it since we have calculators. Like I remember memorizing all the presidents in grade school. Now, I forgot.

3rd grade is totally multiplication memorization. Our American kids are 9 and 12 and in 3rd grade have to correctly answer 140 multiplication questions in 7 minutes.
By end of December they are required to be able to do this correctly.

Use it or you'll lose it

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
