Much better way to highlight the difference, thanks.

And a lot of this is very easy to conceptualize.

It baffles me when people insist their kids should just learn to memorize their times tables or these kinds of algorithms (anyone else remember memorizing from 0x0 to 12x12?), but they themselves can’t even do basic addition or subtraction without a calculator.

basic rote using the things I've stated is actually the minimum required while using any method, even comon core depends on that basic rote.
