common core?
(10-2)*8
(5+2)*8
(5+2)*7

did you memorize how to speak your mother tongue? No, you just grew up hearing it and knowing how it feels to speak it.

You just had to learn how 8*8 feels like 64, 7*8 feels like 56, 7*7 feels like 49.

>without memorizing
Don't talk stupid.
Memorise the square numbers.

7x8=8x8-8

Otherwise this.
But seriously just learn the squares.

b-but
9 * 9 can be shortened to 90 - 9
9 * 6 can be (9 - 1) / 2 and add 5 on first digit

not him but you mean memorize 5**2 , 6**2, 7**2 etc?

i meant 9 * 5

add number on left to itself a number of times equal to number on right
e.g.
8 * 7 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 56

something compact
why would i add if i can remember table in my head

i guess memorizing is the only way out
