In grade school did you learn the multiplication table through 10 or through 12?

I once had a student from Senegal who said his school made them learn through 15... I was a little jealous.

(I only learned through 10, but have picked up most of 11 and 12 slowly over time...I resent that I'll never know those as easily as the single digits. I wish I'd been forced to learn all the way to 20 tbh.)

@futurebird Yup! 12x12 = 144. It’s as if it’s all you needed to know, the upper limit of mathematics! Needless to say I was dissapointed to learn that was just the beginning.

A lot of my addition and multiplication memory is encoded with my synesthesia. Certain ones stick better because of their shape/texture associations.
