It is one of the four basic operations in elementary arithmetic (the others being addition, subtraction and division). Multiplication is defined for whole numbers in terms of repeated addition; for example, 3 multiplied by 4 (often said as "3 times 4") can be calculated by adding 4 copies of 3 together: Multiplication of rational numbers (fractions) and real numbers is defined by systematic generalization of this basic idea. Multiplication can also be visualized as counting objects arranged in a rectangle (for whole numbers) or as finding the area of a rectangle whose sides have given lengths (for numbers generally). The inverse of multiplication is division: as 3 times 4 is equal to 12, so 12 divided by 3 is equal to 4. Multiplication is generalized further to other types of numbers (such as complex numbers) and to more abstract constructs such as matrices. From Wikipedia under the

There is no reason to be teaching times tables, i.e., 2x0=0, 2x1=2, 2x2=4, 2x3=6..., which is a bore, but if you simply say "What is 6x7?" at breakfast, and give the answer when she doesn't know it, but repeat "What is 6x7?" as she leaves for school, and "What is 6x7" when she gets home, and on and on until it becomes a joke. The next day, try "What is 3x9?" and go on as before. About two months of this and she'll have the multiplication tables firmly imbedded with no effort and no counting on fingers.
