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 I never really memorized them. I just got good enough at doing those multiplications fast enough to pass the math tests.

(I’ve functionally memorized most of the table since then just due to experience, but have never sat down and explicitly memorized them all.)
