There is something else I'll share briefly with further regard to this.
Hero zero. Zero multiplied by anything is zero.
Nine times one does not equal seven, therefore that zero is multiplied by all the other answers, the result of which is zero. It's a completely different grading scale. That's why I so fiercely attempt to get my students into the 100% club.
If you get one answer wrong that negates the whole test. You have not exhibited mastery. Another test must be taken until 100% of the answers can be given with ease.
This test comes after much play. Games where they have to give you problems. Games that result in the ability to visualize problems in their minds eye with ease, and then describe the picture that they see with symbols. In this case mathematical symbols.
In base 10, we all agree that 9+9 is 18. No one has ever gone to war over a math problem. Math is the precise language. Therefore each stage must be mastered. Mastery is exhibited in several stages.
0-90 Unconscious incompetence. The student is not aware of errors.
91-180 Conscious incompetence. The student knows whether the answer is right or wrong.
181-270
Conscious competence. The student requires mental ability/concentration and focus to be right or correct.
271-359. Unconscious competence. The student exhibits mastery over the subject, does not have to think about the answer. Subject matter has been mastered. Mastery has been exhibited. Instant recall or instant answer.
360 Supreme Master.
Crewton Ramone only just barely attains level III.
181.000001
Think of a pie chart. Those are degrees. They should become supreme masters at Addends, but at least get them over 271, so when you ask them 6+7 their instant response is 13. Every time. Without thinking about it. Adding numbers together is easy. So is multiplying them. If done correctly.
