9 times 9 is 81, and 10 times 8 is 80. 12 times 12 is 144, and 13 times 11 is 143. 5 times 5 is 25, and 6 times 4 is 24. 20 times 20 is 400, so what's 21 times 19? can you explain why this is happening, without using algebra? (i mean, go ahead with the algebra, if you insist)

It's good to be back! ruth erquiaga is teaching face to face, Tracy Proffitt's division is virtual, Jay Proffitt is managing remote learning while working from home. Tune in to Ep. 75 to hear how it's going so far. mathbeforebreakfast.com #mtbos #iteachmath
