Very strange. In which schools is it in which country? The multiplication table is usually learned at the age of 8-9, isn't it?

56=7x8.
For my children it is easy to remember 5678 and now, no problem!

The asymmetry tells us something about how kids learn to multiply, though I am not sure what that something is.

It is unclear in which order the coefficients were assigned (since the table is not symmetrical) and the 1x1 legend does not really help here πŸ™‚
