A new way to learn multiplication tables.
Without multiplication or equals signs, and without cluttered columns of numbers, the Pythagorean multiplication table is a new method that makes learning multiplication tables easier for students.
Most children, and even adults, struggle with memorizing multiplication tables. Many students try to memorize them, but the more they try, the more they forget, because the multiplication tables commonly used in schools are quite complicated.

Recently, Bright Side (USA) introduced a new type of multiplication table called the "Pythagoras Table," which helps children memorize easily and become more interested in mathematics.
The Pythagorean multiplication table has several advantages, such as: it doesn't contain unnecessary information (equals or multiplication signs), helping children memorize numbers naturally without having to try too hard to learn them by rote; and it teaches children to think and discover the patterns of the table, rather than simply memorizing them.

| Students will perform multiplication by aligning the rows. |
Finding the result of the multiplication is very simple. You just need to align the numbers horizontally and vertically. The result is the intersection point of the two lines. For example, align the number 3 horizontally with the number 5 vertically. The intersection point is 15. Therefore, the result of the multiplication is 3 x 5 = 15.

In this multiplication table, the numbers that are symmetrical across the diagonal are the same. By looking at it, a child's brain will be trained to detect symmetry. This helps children understand the nature of multiplication and remember it for longer.
