I've just done a quick review: The majority of people still say repetition and rote learning are the best ways to learn Times Tables. Then they say children don't understand multiplication.... Why is that?

Perhaps don’t make bold claims about becoming an AI powerhouse if you’re going to cut funding for mathematics education a few days later. What, precisely, do you think AI is?!

Sorry folks, if you've been to mathsticks.com recently, you may have seen a hundred million Ads. It seems an Ad script got activated by mistake. I'm clearing it out as quickly as I can, so things should calm down again quite soon. Thank you for putting up with the mess.
