The present study explores the effect of two instructional methods for children with different levels of mathematical skills. One of these methods uses a conventional approach to learning multiplication and emphasizes the memorization of all arithmetic facts, whereas the other method is based on psychological principles and combines: a) the memorization of a small subset of problems aided by color cues and a portable time-table, with b) the use of single-step rules. One hundred and sixty second-grade children (aged 7-8) received instruction in one of these approaches – either the conventional method or the memory and rules method (M&R) – over the course of 6 months as part of their normal school education. Moderation analysis revealed that children with poor mathematical skills in the conventional group scored significantly better than their counterparts in the M&R group, whereas a significant advantage was observed in the M&R group for those children with strong mathematical skills.

The variety J orN 5 of five-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras structures over an algebraically closed field is investigated. We show that J orN 5 is the union of five irreducible components, four of them correspond to the Zariski closure of the GL 5 -orbits of four rigid algebras and the other one is the Zariski closure of an union of orbits of an infinite family of algebras, none of them being rigid.

This paper describes a method for the organization and retrieval of attribute based information systems, using the normal multiplication table as a directory for the information system. Algorithms for the organization and retrieval of information are described. This method is particularly suitable for queries requesting a group of information items, all of which possess a particular set of attributes (and possibly some other attributes as well). Several examples are given; the results with respect to the number of disk accesses and disk space are compared to other common approaches. Algorithms evaluating the appropriateness of the above approach to a given information system are described. For a certain class of information systems, the normal multiplication table method yields far more rapid retrieval with a more economical space requirement than conventional systems. Moreover this method incorporates an improved modification of the inverted file technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Currently, the learning of the multiplication tables has become a challenge for every educator of Mathematics because this is one of the basic forms for developing operations of multiplication, division, and application of problematic. This article tries to explain the identified problems by a diagnostic in students of fifth grade of the high school “Eulogia Rivas”. Identifying those problems by using a diagnostic, we observed the group of the students, and an applied instrument was taken as a basic line describing the problematic. The investigation has the purpose to improve the memorizing of the tables of multiplication and the reading comprehension, regarding those three techniques were applied: Multiplication with the fingers, multiplication tables by means of a grid and the reading corner that helped to reduce the problems, using the methodology of the action investigation. We achieved to minimize 85 percent of the identified problematic in the students by using the auto reflection and the collective reflection., En la actualidad el aprendizaje de las tablas de multiplicar se ha vuelto un reto para todo educador de la asignatura de matemática, ya que estas son la base para el desarrollo de las operaciones de multiplicación, división y problemas de aplicación. El presente artículo trata de explicar las problemáticas detectadas en las alumnas de quinto grado sección A, del Centro Escolar “Eulogia Rivas”, identificando estas por medio de un diagnóstico realizado, observando a las estudiantes, aplicando un instrumento que sirvió como línea base para determinar la problemática. La investigación tiene como propósito mejorar el aprendizaje de las tablas de multiplicar y la comprensión lectora, para ello, se ejecutaron tres diferentes estrategias que son: multiplicación con los dedos, tablas de multiplicar por medio de cuadrícula y el rincón de lectura, utilizando la metodología de la investigación acción. Mediante la autorreflexión y la reflexión grupal a través de técnicas como la observación y entrevista, se logró disminuir en un 85% de las estudiantes las problemáticas identificadas.

Arithmetic facts, in particular multiplication tables, are thought to be stored in long-term memory and to be interference prone. At least two representations underpinning these arithmetic facts have been suggested: a physical representation of the digits and a numerical magnitude representation. We hypothesized that both representations are possible sources of interference that could explain individual differences in multiplication fact performance and/or in strategy use. We investigated the specificity of these interferences on arithmetic fact retrieval and explored the relation between interference and performance on the different arithmetic operations and on general mathematics achievement. Participants were 79 fourth-grade children ( M age = 9.6 years) who completed a products comparison and a multiplication production task with verbal strategy reports. Performances on a speeded calculation test including the four operations and on a general mathematics achievement test were also collected. Only the interference coming from physical representations was a significant predictor of the performance across multiplications. However, both the magnitude and physical representations were unique predictors of individual differences in multiplication. The frequency of the retrieval strategy across multiplication problems and across individuals was determined only by the physical representation, which therefore is suggested as being responsible for memory storage issues. Interestingly, this impact of physical representation was not observed when predicting performance on subtraction or on general mathematical achievement. In contrast, the impact of the numerical magnitude representation was more general in that it was observed across all arithmetic operations and in general mathematics achievement.

Today mathematics is still a significant obstacle in the formation of children since they observe it with fear and displeasure in their learning process teachers. In most cases, they base their teaching methods in a traditional and rote way, causing students to lack interest and motivation in this area. For this reason, the objective of this research was to design educational software to help strengthen the concepts of multiplication in second-grade primary school students. The study was carried out under the research-action methodology, based on the Escuela Nueva pedagogical model; the study was carried out on 15 students from the school of the Santa Ana village of the city of Duitama. Similarly, as it applied information gathering instruments, a diagnostic test, a completion test, and a final interview, results established the impact of educational software on the teaching of multiplication tables. The results obtained showed the importance of implementing tools such as educational software in the learning of multiplication tables, where it is essential to show teachers the usefulness of this material to use them to improve teaching and learning processes in students. In this way, motivation was generated, allowing them to acquire skills and competencies in mathematics according to how it is presented today., Hoy en día las matemáticas siguen siendo un gran obstáculo en la formación de los niños, ya que la observan con temor y desagrado en su proceso de aprendizaje, los profesores en la mayoría de los casos basan sus métodos de enseñanza de manera tradicional y memorística, ocasionando en los estudiantes falta de interés y motivación frente a esta área. Por tal razón, se planteó como objetivo de la presente investigación diseñar un software educativo para ayudar a fortalecer los conceptos de multiplicación en estudiantes de segundo grado de primaria. El estudio se llevó a cabo bajo la metodología investigación-acción, basado en el modelo pedagógico Escuela Nueva, se realizó el estudio a 15 estudiantes de la escuela de la vereda Santa Ana de la ciudad de Duitama. De igual forma, como instrumentos de recolección de información se aplicó una prueba diagnóstica, una de finalización y una entrevista final, resultados con los cuales se pudo establecer el impacto del software educativo en la enseñanza de las tablas de multiplicar. Los resultados obtenidos dieron muestra de la importancia de la implementación de herramientas como los softwares educativos en la enseñanza de las tablas de multiplicar, en donde se hace esencial poner a la vista de los docentes la utilidad de este material con el propósito de usarlos para mejorar los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje en los estudiantes.

- Abstract
Tidigare forskning har visat att elever har bristande kunskaper i multiplikationstabellerna. Att automatisera tabellerna ger eleverna goda förutsättningar inför övriga matematikområden. Syftet med studien var att skapa kunskap om lärares uppfattning till automatisering av multiplikationstabellerna samt att få kunskap om hur många av lärarnas elever som hade automatiserat tabellerna. Syftet var även att ta reda på vilka metoder lärare använder för att stötta eleverna i detta. Studien genomfördes med enkät som datainsamlingsinstrument och resultatet från enkäten följdes upp med fokusgruppsintervjuer. Resultatet av studien visade att många lärare upplever automatisering av multiplikationstabellerna som viktigt eftersom det underlättar för eleverna inför övriga matematikområden samt att det avlastar elevernas arbetsminne. Metoderna som flest lärare använde i sin undervisning var digitala undervisningsplattformar samt olika arbetsblad som drillträning av tabellerna., Previous research had shown that students lacked knowledge in the multiplication tables. Automating the tables gives students good conditions to succeed in other areas of mathematics. The purpose of this study was to create knowledge about teacher’s perceptions of automating the multiplication tables and to examine how many of the pupils had automated the tables. The purpose was also to identify what methods teachers use to support students in multiplication table automation. The study was conducted with a survey and the results were followed up with focus group interviews. The results showed that many teachers value the automation of the multiplication tables because it prepares the students for other mathematics areas and it relieves the student’s working memory. The methods most teachers used in their teaching were digital teaching platforms and various worksheets such as drill training of the tables.

Informally stated, we present here a randomized algorithm that given black-box access to the polynomial f computed by an unknown/hidden arithmetic formula ϕ reconstructs, on the average, an equivalent or smaller formula $${\hat{\phi}}$$ in time polynomial in the size of its output $${\hat{\phi}}$$ . Specifically, we consider arithmetic formulas wherein the underlying tree is a complete binary tree, the leaf nodes are labeled by affine forms (i.e., degree one polynomials) over the input variables and where the internal nodes consist of alternating layers of addition and multiplication gates. We call these alternating normal form (ANF) formulas. If a polynomial f can be computed by an arithmetic formula μ of size s, it can also be computed by an ANF formula ϕ, possibly of slightly larger size s. Our algorithm gets as input black-box access to the output polynomial f (i.e., for any point x in the domain, it can query the black box and obtain f( x) in one step) of a random ANF formula ϕ of size s (wherein the coefficients of the affine forms in the leaf nodes of ϕ are chosen independently and uniformly at random from a large enough subset of the underlying field). With high probability (over the choice of coefficients in the leaf nodes), the algorithm efficiently (i.e., in time s) computes an ANF formula $${\hat{\phi}}$$ of size s computing f. This then is the strongest model of arithmetic computation for which a reconstruction algorithm is presently known, albeit efficient in a distributional sense rather than in the worst case.

Digital, La problemática existente en el campo educativo de Colombia sugiere la necesidad de un cambio de estrategias en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Una de estas estrategias que destaca en la actualidad es el Pensamiento Computacional. En ese orden de ideas, el objetivo de este proyecto de grado consiste en desarrollar una estrategia pedagógica con base en el Pensamiento Computacional para el fortalecimiento del proceso de aprendizaje de las tablas de multiplicar mediante la herramienta JClic, en la asignatura de matemáticas y con estudiantes del grado quinto de la Institución Educativa El Recuerdo. El alcance a corto plazo que se pretende lograr, radica en que los estudiantes se interesen por la resolución de problemas complejos, a partir de las tablas de multiplicar, además de habituarse al uso de la herramienta JClic. Se utilizó el enfoque “Cuantitativo”, debido a que permite obtener datos estadísticos de la estrategia implementada durante la ejecución del proyecto. Por otra parte, considerando que el tema o problemática resultan relativamente desconocidos se utilizó la Investigación Exploratoria. Los resultados de la investigación permitieron concluir que la herramienta JClic fortalece el pensamiento computacional, permitiendo con ello el aprendizaje de las tablas de multiplicar mediante la utilización de herramientas digitales. Razón por la cual se concluye que, mediante la utilización de herramientas digitales, medios y recursos tecnológicos se logra mejorar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la asignatura de matemáticas. El pensamiento computacional y el uso de herramientas digitales son un aporte significativo en el proceso educativo y desarrollo social de los estudiantes., The existing problem in the educational field of Colombia suggests the need for a change of strategies in the teaching-learning processes. One of these strategies that stands out today is Computational Thinking. In this order of ideas, the objective of this degree project is to develop a pedagogical strategy based on Computational Thinking to strengthen the learning process of multiplication tables using the JClic tool, in the subject of mathematics and with students of the fifth grade of the Educational Institution El Recuerdo. The short-term scope to be achieved is that students are interested in solving complex problems, from the multiplication tables, in addition to getting used to using the JClic tool. The “Quantitative” approach was used, since it allows obtaining statistical data of the strategy implemented during the execution of the project. On the other hand, considering that the topic or problem is relatively unknown, Exploratory Research was used. The results of the research allowed us to conclude that the JClic tool strengthens computational thinking, thereby allowing the multiplication tables to be learned using digital tools. Reason why it is concluded that, through the use of digital tools, means and technological resources, it is possible to improve the teaching-learning processes in the subject of mathematics. Computational thinking and the use of digital tools are a significant contribution to the educational process and social development of students, Maestría, Magíster en Tecnologías Digitales Aplicadas a la Educación, 1°ed, INTRODUCCIÓN ................................................................................................... 12 1.

Many learners struggle to make the transition from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division, which hampers further progress in mathematics. In this article, I present a case study of one learner who struggled to attain fluency in multiplication by seven. The purpose of this study was to identify and explain how previous non-encapsulations related to addition and subtraction number bonds hampered her efforts in attaining fluency in the multiplication tables. Data for the study were generated from observations and interactions with the child, Lizzy, over a period of two years. The study employed a narrative analysis technique, while drawing upon the APOS (action, process, object, schema) framework together with the notion of conceptual embodiment. The findings suggest that Lizzy's struggles were due to a non-encapsulation of the various number bond strings, which did not allow her to see patterns in addition by seven. By using an alternative intervention, Lizzy was able to use this strategy as a conceptual embodiment leading her to greater fluency in the seven-times table. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Constructive methods for matrices of multihomogeneous (or multigraded) resultants for unmixed systems have been studied by Weyman, Zelevinsky, Sturmfels, Dickenstein and Emiris. We generalize these constructions to mixed systems, whose Newton polytopes are scaled copies of one polytope, thus taking a step towards systems with arbitrary supports. First, we specify matrices whose determinant equals the resultant and characterize the systems that admit such formulae. Bézout-type determinantal formulae do not exist, but we describe all possible Sylvester-type and hybrid formulae. We establish tight bounds for all corresponding degree vectors, and specify domains that will surely contain such vectors; the latter are new even for the unmixed case. Second, we make use of multiplication tables and strong duality theory to specify resultant matrices explicitly, for a general scaled system, thus including unmixed systems. The encountered matrices are classified; these include a new type of Sylvester-type matrix as well as Bézout-type matrices, known as partial Bezoutians. Our public-domain Maple implementation includes efficient storage of complexes in memory, and construction of resultant matrices. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Specialists in the field of mathematical education consider that the learning of multiplication has an extremely important role not only in the area of mathematics, but also in day to day life. We can distinguish two different stages in the process of teaching-learning multiplication: a first step implies the discovery of the results within the multiplication table and the connections that exist between these results, while a second phase deals with memorizing the results. Our experience has shown that teachers tend to make students learn the table of multiplication by heart and this, on the one hand, overshadows a more logical approach that would aim at the students understanding the way in with the results are obtained and, on the other hand, neglects the subsequent logical way of memorizing the results. The way in with the information is presented is key to both the understanding and the remembering of numbers in the table. Starting from the observation presented previously we have created a pedagogical micro-experiment in which wanted to investigate whether students in their training to become teachers had the ability to work with the content offered in school textbooks and to create a blackboard sketch for The table of multiplication by 2.

An algebraic scheme for constructing deformations of structure constants for associative algebras generated by deformation driving algebras (DDAs) is discussed. An ideal of left divisors of zero plays a central role in this construction. Deformations of associative three-dimensional algebras with the DDA being a three-dimensional Lie algebra and their connection with integrable systems are studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This note presents demonstrations of mathematics that emerges when problems are posed with respect to a combined 12 × 12 multiplication table showing multiplier and multiplicand. Through processes such as recognizing and extending patterns, specializing and generalizing particular functional relationships between the diagonal and row sequences are compressed. Insights obtained from the various methods can be used to deepen teachers' and students' understandings of possible ways to bridge arithmetic and algebra. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New precedence results are obtained for finite, not necessarily commutative semigroups, which are used to further sharpen existing algorithms for the computation of finite semigroups. The results in this second part assume a left zero element, describe the first nonconstant row of the multiplication table in detail, and provide a numerical profile with which it can be compared to other rows.

This paper outlines an experiment in which pupils in Key Stage 2 were encouraged to use graphics calculators, in particular two simple programs, which helped them develop recall of their tables and allowed them to practise multiplication. The pupils responded very well to the calculators and seemed to have been motivated by them. The pupils did not find them difficult to operate and experienced very few technical problems. The authors concluded that the graphics calculator has considerable potential to enhance the mathematical experience and learning of pupils at this level, and that although the extent of the investigation was fairly limited the results were encouraging enough to justify further work in this area.

Research shows promising results of educational robots in language and STEM tasks. In language, more research is available, occasionally in view of individual differences in pupils' educational ability levels, and learning seems to improve with more expressive robot behaviors. In STEM, variations in robots' behaviors have been examined with inconclusive results and never while systematically investigating how differences in educational abilities match with different robot behaviors. We applied an autonomously tutoring robot (without tablet, partly WOz) in a 2 × 2 experiment of social vs. neutral behavior in above-average vs. below-average schoolchildren (N = 86; age 8–10 years) while rehearsing the multiplication tables on a one-to-one basis. The standard school test showed that on average, pupils significantly improved their performance even after 3 occasions of 5-min exercises. Beyond-average pupils profited most from a robot tutor, whereas those below average in multiplication benefited more from a robot that showed neutral rather than more social behavior. • One-to-one robot tutoring benefits learning the multiplication tables. • We suggest to differentiate robot tutoring, according to the level of advancement. • A more social robot is not always the better teacher. • We discuss that robot-teacher partnerships may shape the future of pedagogy.

En aquesta memòria es descriu la implementació d'una aplicació per a la plataforma iOS (iPhone, iPad) que té com objectiu facilitar l'aprenentatge de les taules de multiplicar per a nens de primària. L'aplicació utilitza un enfoc totalment nou pel que fa a la forma de motivar a l'alumne a estudiar les taules. A diferencia d'altres aplicacions que podem trobar a l¿App Store on l¿única motivació pel nen a seguir «jugant» amb l¿aplicació és l¿atractiu visual que aquesta pugui tenir, a MultipliCat la motivació és un premi pactat amb el pares o educadors un cop aconseguit un determinat nombre de punts. L¿aplicació en aquest cas simplement actua com a eina d¿aprenentatge formulant les preguntes i comptabilitzant els punts, però deixa la motivació de l'alumne a un objectiu extern, el premi pactat. En esta memoria se describe la implementación de una aplicación para la plataforma iOS (iPhone, iPad) que tiene como objetivo facilitar el aprendizaje de las tablas de multiplicar para niños de primaria. La aplicación utiliza un enfoque totalmente nuevo con respecto a la forma de motivar al alumno a estudiar las tablas. A diferencia de otras aplicaciones que podemos encontrar en la App Store donde la única motivación para el niño a seguir «jugando» con la aplicación es el atractivo visual que ésta pueda tener, a multiplicar la motivación es un premio pactado con el padres o educadores una vez alcanzado un determinado número de puntos. La aplicación en este caso simplemente actúa como herramienta de aprendizaje formulando las preguntas y contabilizando los puntos, pero deja la motivación del alumno a un objetivo externo, el premio pactado. This report describes the implementation of an application for iOS platform (iPhone, iPad) which aims to facilitate the learning of times tables for primary school children. The application uses an entirely new approach regarding how to motivate students to study these tables. Unlike other applications that can be found in the App Store where the only motivation for the child to continue "playing" with the application is the visual appeal that may have, in MultipliCat the motivation is the achievement of a prize previously agreed with parents or educators (the prize is achieved at an agreed number of points). The application in this case simply acts as a learning tool by asking questions and counting points, but leaves the motivation of students to an external Award previously agreed.

Η προσασρμοστική μάθηση (adaptive learning) είναι μια εκπαιδευτική μέθοδος η οποία χρησιμοποιεί κάποιο υπολογιστικό σύστημα ως διαδραστική συσκευή διδασκαλίας αναλαμβάνοντας να προσαρμόσει την παρουσίαση του εκπαιδευτικού υλικού σύμφωνα με τις ανάγκες των μαθητών, όπως αυτές προκύπτουν από τις απαντήσεις τους στις ερωτήσεις και τις εργασίες αλλά και γενικότερα παρατηρώντας παραμέτρους της συμπεριφοράς τους στο σύστημα. Η τεχνολογία που υποστηρίζει τη συγκεκριμένη εκπαιδευτική μέθοδο περιλαμβάνει τις πτυχές που προέρχονται από διάφορους επιστημονικούς τομείς όπως η επιστήμη των υπολογιστών, η εκπαίδευση και η ψυχολογία. Η προσαρμοστικής μάθηση έχει οδηγηθεί εν μέρει από τη συνειδητοποίηση ότι προσωπική μάθηση δεν μπορεί να επιτευχθεί σε μια μεγάλη κλίμακα χρησιμοποιώντας παραδοσιακές, μη-προσαρμοστικές προσεγγίσεις. Τα συστήματα προσαρμοστικής μάθησης στοχεύουν στο να μετατρέψουν τον μαθητή από παθητικό δέκτη πληροφοριών σε συνεργαζόμενο και ενεργό μέλος στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία. Ενώ μπορεί να υπάρχουν εξαιρέσεις, τα συστήματα προσαρμοστικής μάθησης είναι γενικά χτισμένα με τρία βασικά στοιχεία: ένα μοντέλο εμπειρογνώμονα ή περιεχομένου, ένα μοντέλο μαθητή, και ένα εκπαιδευτικό ή διδασκαλικό μοντέλο. Στα πλαίσια της διπλωματικής αυτής εργασίας μεταπτυχιακής ειδίκευσης αναπτύχθηκε ένα ηλεκτρονικό εκπαιδευτικό παιχνίδι για φορητή συσκευή το οποίο απευθύνεται σε μαθητές επιπέδου δημοτικού σχολείου και υιοθετεί τις αρχές της προσαρμοστικής μάθησης. Στόχος του παιχνιδιού είναι η εξάσκηση και η σταδιακή βελτίωση εκμάθησης της προπαίδειας. Το εκπαιδευτικό παιχνίδι υλοποιήθηκε σε LUA (Corona SDK) και δοκιμάστηκε σε Android συσκευές. Για να καθοριστούν οι λειτουργικές προδιαγραφές διερευνήθηκαν και καταγράφηκαν ήδη υπάρχοντα αντίστοιχα εκπαιδευτικά παιχνίδια, πραγματοποιήθηκε συνέντευξη με έμπειρη εκπαιδευτικό ώστε να προσαρμοστεί ο σχεδιασμός του σεναρίου του παιχνιδιού στην εκπαιδευτική πρακτική που εφαρμόζεται στο σχολείο, ενώ αφού ολοκληρώθηκε η υλοποίηση πραγματοποιήθηκαν δοκιμές με μαθητές α’, β’, γ’ δημοτικού ώστε να διερευνηθεί η αποτελεσματικότητα του εκπαιδευτικού παιχνιδιού. Adaptive learning is an educational method that uses a computer system as an interactive teaching apparatus undertaking to adjust the presentation of educational material according to the needs of students, as reflected by their answers to the questions and work well generally observing aspects of their behavior in the system. The technology that supports this educational method includes aspects from different disciplines such as computer science, education and psychology. Adaptive learning has been driven in part by the realization that personal learning can not be achieved on a large scale using traditional non-adaptive approaches. Adaptive learning systems aim to transform the student from passive recipient of information at a partner and active member in the educational process. While there may be exceptions, adaptive learning systems are generally built with three key elements: a model expert or content, a user model, and an educational teaching model. As part of this thesis postgraduate specialization developed an online educational game for mobile device which is aimed at primary school level students and adopts the principles of adaptive learning. The objective of the game is to practice and the gradual improvement of learning the multiplication tables. The educational game implemented in LUA (Corona SDK) and tested on Android devices. To determine the functional specifications were investigated and recorded existing respective educational games, interviewed by experienced teacher to fit the design of the scenario of the game in the educational practice at school, and after the completed implementation was tested with students a, b, c grade to investigate the effectiveness of educational game.
