Nine Times Table

Atticus: What I saw was a pattern of the nine time table when my mother told me to write out the nine time table.

Like 9 x 1 = 9 that means that 2 x 9 = 18 because that is how I found out the pattern. When you get into each number there is a taking away because 3 x 9 = to 27 see 9,8, 7 but you must add the left hand number 1, 2,3 ,4 .

But I also did something that I have never done before. like 13 x 9 = 117 I also did
14 x 9 = 126 because you add 1 to 1 and take away 1 from 7 so you get 126.

13 X 9 = 117
14 x 9 = 126
15 x 9 = 135
16 x 9 = 144
17 x 9 = 153
18 x 9 = 162
19 x 9 = 171
20 x 9 = 180

My moter says that I was very smart while I was doing it. This evening Uncle Kwong Fook came over and tested me on the time table. But I could not answer some of his questions but I could do others. Ha ha very funny.!!!!!

Being able to see this pattern is indeed brilliant! I used to just memorize the times table and well, the times table stopped at 12 x 9, so I only know how to mentally count till 12 x 9 :)
Keep up the good work!

Welcome to our blog.

My name is Atticus and this is my sister Ariel. We are almost like a pair of twins. We are only eleven months apart.


We do not go to school but stay at home to study.


My daddy and mummy call this home-schooling.

Cool.

Who are we?
