The Clever Crow β A Story
Once upon a time, a thirsty crow was flying over a village on a hot summer day. He spotted a tall pitcher on a window ledge, but the water was very low. The crow tried to reach the water with his beak, but it was too far down. He thought carefully and looked around. He noticed small pebbles scattered nearby on the ground. One by one, the clever crow dropped the pebbles into the pitcher. Slowly, the water level rose higher and higher. Finally, when the water reached the top, the crow drank happily. The villagers watched in amazement at how clever the bird was. From that day, everyone in the village told the story of the wise crow who used his brain instead of giving up.

π Times Tables Reference (2β10)
Use this table to memorize your times tables! Hover over each cell to highlight it.
| Γ | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|
βοΈ Multiplication: 2-Digit Γ 1-Digit
Step 1: Break it apart β (20 Γ 4) + (3 Γ 4)
Step 2: Calculate β 80 + 12 = 92 β
β Division as Sharing
Think: If you share 12 apples among 3 friends equally, each gets 4 apples.
12 Γ· 3 = 4 β
π’ Division with Remainders
3 goes into 14 β 4 times (3 Γ 4 = 12). Leftover: 14 β 12 = 2
So 14 Γ· 3 = 4 remainder 2 (written as 4 R2)
