We started with multiplication in 2nd or 3rd grade. But I wasn't talking about when schools start *teaching* addition tables, but rather when the kids finally have them correctly memorized.

Even a second grader should know that when you add something, it won't come out smaller than the original numbers being added.

That said, I had memories of me memorizing the multiplication table and the capitals of all countries in the world at 5-7 years old. :shifty:
(I still remember which country's capital is Brazzaville......)

Here is an (german) article with a photograph of the 250 kg bomb they disarmed at the local car factory in 30 minutes yesterday. Luckily, its holiday season, only few people had to be evacuated and the factory had been shutdown for the first three August weeks.

Well, if you go by bosnian books, they start with basic algebra in first... :shifty:
They never learn to calculate with apples and oranges. No, they immediately start with placeholders:
"example: 2 + 3 = 5. 3 + 4 = X. How much is X? next step: 2 + Y = 5. How much is Y?" (seriously, I kid you not!).
In third grade, they're already at fractions. The textbook explains fractions by their mathematic definition. I had trouble understanding the text even as an adult, although some leeway must be given for second language, but still...
