2. Word problem (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics)

   The word problem for an algebra is then to determine, given two expressions (words) involving the generators and operations, whether they represent the same element of the algebra modulo the identities. The word problems for groups and semigroups can be phrased as word problems for algebras. [1]

3. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

   If the result of step 4 does not equal the result of step 5, then the original answer is wrong. If the two results match, then the original answer may be right, though it is not guaranteed to be. Example Assume the calculation 6,338 × 79, manually done, yielded a result of 500,702: Sum the digits of 6,338: (6 + 3 = 9, so count that as 0) + 3 ...

   Four bags with three marbles per bag gives twelve marbles (4 × 3 = 12). Multiplication can also be thought of as scaling. Here, 2 is being multiplied by 3 using scaling, giving 6 as a result. Animation for the multiplication 2 × 3 = 6 4 × 5 = 20. The large rectangle is made up of 20 squares, each 1 unit by 1 unit.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_table

   In mathematics, a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system. The decimal multiplication table was traditionally taught as an essential part of elementary arithmetic around the world, as it lays the foundation for arithmetic operations ...

   The rule of three [1] was a historical shorthand version for a particular form of cross-multiplication that could be taught to students by rote. It was considered the height of Colonial maths education [2] and still figures in the French national curriculum for secondary education, [3] and in the primary education curriculum of Spain. [4]
