personally the lattice method of multiplication is the reason i hate math
youre telling me that i can make some boxes with lines through them
solve the multiplication equation for each pair of individual digits and arrange them in the boxes just so
AND THEN ADD UP ALL THE NUMBERS IN EACH COLUMN AND GET THE RIGHT ANSWER????
this post taught me that not everyone learned the lattice method in elementary school
In grade school we learned the normal way to do multiplication one day and then the lattice way the next, except I was sick the day we learned the normal way and they never went back and reviewed it and neither did I and so to this day I only know how to use the lattice method
