Tucker301 is gone!!! : Controversial Issues Forum


I thought he started a new thread and left this thread..... and now he clicks like on everything.... at least we don't have to see his posts

I did start a new thread, and intended for it to be SFW.
Some fucktard came along and shit on that, so I complained to the mods. Then I realized how fucking childish it was to complain to the mods on fucking Memorial Day, when they're likely doing things much more interesting than dealing with some butt-hurt asswipes from the forums, so I just deleted the Goddamned thing altogether, and came back here to post and comment.
So you see, asswipes, you had me gone, but you didn't appreciate it. So now you're stuck with me and my bizarre senses of taste, humor, and wit.

Regarding the thread you linked on the other forum, you're not the first one to fall prey to that old gem. I doubt you'll be the last.
Everyone should go and read through that thread. There are some gems in there!

You had me at hello.
 
Pure simple logic is hardwired.
this is the way I explained things like this to my kids. Some might find useful, specially those with the 2nd focal plane! lol.
Of course one needs to be able to multiply by 10 (add one zero) or one will be screwed. LOL

I learned it a different way...all multiples of 9 add up to 9. You take whatever number you're multiplying by 9 and subtract 1 from it. That is your first number. Say 9x3 for example. In this case, 3-1=2. 2 plus what number equals 9? 7. 9x3=27.....9x5=45 ( 4+5=9) 9x7=63 (6+3=9) There's lot of ways to skin a cat.

Yes there are many ways to skin a cat. But forms work up to a level. Then better use primitives and scale logic.
So if you do simple abstraction no matter what multiplication of division the method works with anything.
My daugther is doing multiple digit multiplications w/o a paper since she was 7. It is a dinner time game sometimes.
Lets do anything random not too complex. Lets say 54 x 33
Break it down...
the above is (50 x 30) + (50 x 3) + (4 x 30) + (4 x 3).

So the magical ten is applied...
50 x 30 = 5x3...15 add double zero = 1500 (take quick mental note)
+
50 x 3 = 5 x 3 ... 15 and add zero = 150 (2nd quick mental note)
+
4 x 30 = 4 x 3 ..12 add zero 120 (3rd quick mental note)
+
4 x 3 = 12 Lat one.

1500
_150
_120
__12

All one has to do is start small in the hundreds and then move up as you train the kids mind
to retain picture by picture and retain the subtotals. Then in no time kids are doing large calculations
with the same precise primitive baseline. This is the power of abstraction. One of the most important raw qualities of the human mind.
Don't have any batteries for the calculator or not even a pen? no problem, you have a brain.

Hold your hands up with all 10 fingers up. Go from left to right and say 9x3 put the 3rd finger down then go from there.
