In responding to David Picard's original contribution to the
discussion on teaching/learning mulitplication facts, I have a
few reactions. I  agree with the presentation of the underlying
patterns to the multiplication facts, but I believe they would
benefit much more from their own discovery and creation of
those facts, rather than a teacher making them aware of these
magical secrets within mathematics.  Rather than the students
veiwing the existence of patterns as tricks, their exploration
and discover will help them see that patterns are a part of
mathematics.  I was surprised that so any of the responses
could only respond to your writing, rather than on better ways
to teach math.
		Keep teaching,
