This grid represents multiplied whole numbers from one thru twelve. The shaded areas around the edge of the grid are the numbers being multiplied. The area where two shaded numbers meet is the product (result of multiplying) of those two numbers. The shaded areas running diagonally through the grid represent the result of numbers that are multiplied by themselves, such as 3 x 3 or 5 x 5. This is commonly known as "squaring" a number. For instance, "three times three" is also known as "three squared." Multiplying a number by itself three times (as in 5 x 5 x 5), is called cubing the number. So another way of saying "five times five times five" is just to say "five cubed." Multiplication is one of the four basic operations in elementary arithmetic. The other three are addition, subtraction and division. Human possess an inborn tendency to perform these four functions. Methods of multiplication have been documented in ancient Egyptian, Central African, Greek, Indian and Chinese civilizations. Multiplication merely involves adding a number to itself repeatedly. So, 3 x 5 ("three times five") is another way of saying "three fives," or 5 + 5 + 5 ("five plus five plus five"). No matter how you say it, the result is still fifteen. All kinds of numbers can be multiplied - whole numbers, fractions, decimals, negative numbers and even zero. Any number multiplied by zero is zero. Multiplying two negative numbers always results in a positive number.
