Some students simply add quickly. They don't multiply.

Here is a story about giving 3 apples to 10 people.

The punchline:   The student didn't understand what 30 percent means.   If you have 9 of 30 apples,. that would be 30%.

30 percent of 30 apples is 9 apples.

The student was having trouble with multiplying....

=======================

I'd like to see if a mobile app program can be found to help students who have basic math difficulties.

I made a mistake by asking students to try to multiply more quickly.

I advocate Math Workout, the free app.

Some of the students CAN'T multiply.   They don't    ....  They are ADDING REPEATEDLY.

When they are saying  5   10  15  20  25 30

They are ADDING, not reciting multiples.
