Here is a free copy of tutorial software for The Trachtenberg Basic Method of Multiplication. Click here to Download the software which runs under MS-Windows.
Trachtenberg Multiplication is an alternative system of basic multiplication. Where the multiplication tables provide the results of several operations of addition, this system is a collection of algorithms that yield products by an interesting set of correlations.
With this tutorial program, students can learn an amazing method of multiplication that will increase their curiosity and desire to continue learning Mathematics - the Queen of the Sciences.
This tutorial can be a strongly motivating introduction to Algebra. When your students ask (and they will!) "How does it work?", you will have an opportunity to say "The key to understanding systems like this can be found in Algebra."
The algebraic solution and much more is in the book "The Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics" by Cutler & McShane, which is published by
Greenwood Press and can be purchased here from
Amazon.com.
