I can count to more than a thousand on my fingers.



I can multiply by 9's up to 9x10 on my fingers - oh boy!

Hey, whatever gets you through third grade!!

(Hands down on desk)
LLLL (L-THUMB) (R-THUMB) RRRR

#...means to tuck under that finger - then count up the fingers on either
side of the tucked under finger.

[9x1]
# LLL(L) (R)RRRR .......0+9 = 9

[9x2]
L # LL(L) (R)RRRR .....1+8 = 18

[9x3]
LL # L(L) (R)RRRR .......2+7 = 27

[9x4]
LLL # (L) (R)RRRR .......3+6 = 36

[9x5]
LLLL (#) (R)RRRR ........4+5 = 45
(Tuck under the L thumb)


[9x6]
LLLL(L) (#) RRRR ........5+4 = 54
(Tuck under the R thumb)

[9x7]
LLLL(L) (R) # RRR .......6+3 = 63

[9x8]
LLLL(L) (R)R # RR .......7+2 = 72

[9x9]
LLLL(L) (R)RR # R .......8+1 = 81

[9x10]
LLLL(L) (R)RRR # .......9+0 = 90
