This is a great question. I wouldn't say disservice. But I would say that, like counting on fingers, it's a concept we use for a time, but then need to move beyond. If I have a 3rd grader who thinks multiplication *is* repeated addition, so be it. If I have a 10th grader who thinks that? That's more of a problem.
@@polymathematic wow you are right.. i crosscheck it with chatgpt.. and tells certain economics situations have negative interest rate.. so amount i owe reduced
This visualization is really helpful. I love the fact that you showed the "flipping of the number line" effect.
Your scalling method makes perfect sense. Thank you
This is an amazing visualization!
glad you like it!
Good video. And it shows why multiplying a negative with a positive results in negative
Incredible. Great explanation!
Great visualization! Do you think we do a disservice it kids if we teach multiplication as repeated addition?
