In India we learn tables (multiplication tables, but we just call them tables) from 1 to 10, and later till 20. Each one has this format, 1x1=1 1x2=2 First number is 1, so its table of 1. Then x as multiplier sign. Then a count from 1 to 10. Then = sign. Then the result. We kids are supposed to write each line in left to right direction, then move to next line. We use paper with square tables or graph on it. Most of the time, kids simply write 1, move to next line, again write 1, all the way till 10th line. Then we move to next column, write x, then move up, x all the way till 1st line. Then 1,2,3, in next column, = in next column coming up. Then the answers going down.
