We had a discussion before in the math class about memorize the multiplication table. We all know that if the children just know how to memorize the table, they will not be able to explain why 5 times 5 equal to 25. They will not truly understand the meaning of multiplication. But by the end do we need to help the students to memorize the multiplication table? If they do not memorize it, they will have to rely on the calculators or the multiplication table all the time. They will not be able to calculate things fast. How can they survive in this competitive world? Growing up under Chinese Math education system, I feel that I learned a lot of math skills that I will not need during my high school years; teaching in the U.S school, do we teach our students enough math skills?
