So kid comes home and starts homework, one of the questions was something like "Jennie doesn't know multiplication tables, and how you can help her understand 8x7" or something like that. There were several answers, the correct was was to split the 7 into (2+5); Jennie knows 8*2 and 8*5 and add up the results.
If Jennie doesn't know multiplication tables, how does she know 8*2 and 8*5?
