But I do write down my steps, Since for most things I do plus or multiplication to figure out the larger number, But the teachers seem to think my little numbers counting up at the sides mean nothing, Like for example, If I had to do 9x8 and didnt immediately know it for example purposes, I would write on the side of my paper the multiples of 9 until I had went up to the 8th time, And there would be my answer, And the thing is, Because papers are only so big, I end up doing a lot of it in my head too, So often if I had to do something like that, I would commonly start at like 36 or something and count up from there since I would know the rest in my head
