What’s Wrong with “Repeated Addition”? « Let's Play Math! [Photo by Alejandra Mavroski.] Myrtle called it The article that launched a thousand posts…, and counting comments on this and several other blogs, that may not be too much of an exaggeration. Yet the discussion feels incomplete — I have not been able to put into words all that I want to say. Thus, at the risk of once again revealing my mathematical ignorance, I am going to try another response to Keith Devlin’s multiplication articles. Let me state up front that I speak as a teacher, not as a mathematician. I am not qualified, nor do I intend, to argue about the implications of Peano’s Axioms. I will start with a few things we can all agree on… We All Agree on Some Things Elementary students will use addition to solve beginning multiplication problems.
So What’s the Problem? So what is wrong with the definition, “Multiplication is repeated addition”? To define multiplication as repeated addition is to make multiplication a sub-species of addition. And they are not the same. But… We need… Math Worksheet Creator - Basic Addition. Speed Arithmetic. Return to my Mathematics pagesGo to my home page © Copyright 1998, Jim Loy Addition of two numbers: Let's add these two numbers in our heads (i.e., without paper). Can you do that? Our first attempt is to do it like most of us do on paper: 6+7=3 carry the 1 (13), 1+6+2=9, 1+3=4, 2+9=11. Memory is why speed arithmetic experts (I call them "arithmetickers") usually add numbers like these from left to right. Let's try again: 2+9=11, 1+3=4, 6+2=8, 6+7=3 and that previous 8 should have been a 9 (because of the carry). Addition of columns: How about this addition problem? In the right column, a speed arithmetic person might group the 9 and the 1 (10), the two 5's (10), and then the 7+2+4 (13) to get 33.
Instead, what I do is add 29+37=66, then 66+15=81, then 81+21=102, 102+32=134, 134+85=219, and 219+44=263. Multiplication: 24 x48 ---- Speed arithmetic people multiply from left to right, too. 2x4 = 8 2x8 = 16 ---- 96 4x4 = 16 ---- 112 4x8 = 32 ---- 1152 See how that is done? Why?
