- noir_lord 9y agoI never learnt my times tables when I was little I just learnt how to do the multiplications in my head on the fly. Years later when I worked in a shop I used to cost complex print jobs in my head and co-workers though it was magic. The way maths is taught in the UK is largely how and very rarely why.
