korrutusterahet

Korrutusterahet is a term that may appear in Estonian-language discussions of multiplication, but it is not a widely standardized mathematical term. The concept it denotes is essentially a structured representation of the products of pairs of numbers, most commonly realized as a two-dimensional grid similar to a multiplication table.

The word appears to be a neologism built from korrutada, meaning to multiply, combined with a suffix that appears in other instructional terms. In practice, korrutusterahet is often used as an informal or variant label for a multiplication table. Its precise scope and usage can vary between teachers, curricula, and publications.

Usage of korrutusterahet is primarily in early-education contexts. It serves as a learning aid to teach multiplication facts, recognize patterns in the times tables, and develop understanding of distributive properties. In classroom materials and educational apps, a korrutusterahet may be presented as a grid or grid-like interface where students explore or fill in products, sometimes with interactive highlighting of products or relationships.

Structure and example: a typical korrutusterahet might be a grid of size 5 by 5 with numbers 1 through 5 labeled along the top and left edges. Each interior cell then contains the product of its row and column indices. For instance, the cell at row 3, column 4 would contain 12.
