Common Core allows for the standard 24/3 =8 memorization process.
But do you want sheep, that only know ONE way to solve a problem, or more importantly, won't allow for any alternative thought processes.
How would you solve this?
Since 25 X 25 is 625, what is
a). 24 X 26 ?
b). 23 x 27 ?
Would you do the standard old school multiplication process, like a sheep, that was taught for years, in Public School, Private School, and definitely in Homeschools?
Or
Are there Higher Level thinking skills applied that you are two dumb to know?
^^^^ this.
