I know how to count.

Five times five.

What do you mean times? Are you telling me to count five a total of five different times?

There are five baskets, each containing five apples. How many apples are there in all?

[ A brief pause, before- ]

There are twenty-five apples.

Well done. What if there are twenty-one baskets?

Eh... hold on.

five baskets of five were twenty-five. So another five baskets would be... fifty. And that is ten baskets...

So fifty with another fifty is one hundred... and another basket is one hundred and five apples.

Very good! What you're doing now is multiplying.

That is just counting. All I did was keep adding fives until I had it into a larger number that would be easier to count.

Then, what is seven times nine?

[personal profile] backstory 2021-01-09 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... [ that's harder than dealing with five which is easy to work with. ]

Nine is almost ten, so... ten... seven times would be seventy. Then if I take away seven [ using his hands ].... sixty-three?

Good job, good job! It seems you really can do multiplication, more or less!

I am only counting. I do not really see the difference between this multiplication.

I had an excellent education so of course I would know how to count.

[ Er... he knows how to count at least. Don't ask for anything more complex than this when it comes to math. ]

Well, it takes a little longer than necessary if you're counting it manually every time. Especially with larger numbers. And you really can't get by with just counting when it comes to more complicated mathematics...

But I suppose that's not relevant right this moment.

Ah- yes. Perhaps we should focus on the game. I would like to win. Especially since this should be your first.
