Nansea Cross, a math teacher and tutor, shares discoveries that make math easier to teach and more exciting to learn. Beginning with the multiplication table, she found that all the multiples of all the numberstaken through a simple processreveal different patterns. Looking deeper, she realized that these patterns repeat, have symmetry, and all add up to the same reduced number. The patterns occur horizontally, vertically, and diagonally in both directions...

More mathematical concepts are addressed at younger ages as a result of Common Core State Standards. In the 6th grade, students do much more in depth work with geometry, ratio and percentage as well as statistics and probability. This is not the first time these concepts are addressed though. The Common Core approach requires going deeper into content learned in earlier years. Because of this need to look at each grade, instead of just one year, a...
