Multiplication facts are difficult to teach. Therefore many researchers have put a great deal of effort into finding multiplication strategies. Sherin and Fuson (2005) provided a good survey paper on the multiplication strategies research area. Kolpas (2002), Rendtorff (1908), Dabell (2001), Musser (1966) and Markarian (2009) proposed the finger multiplication strategies. Proof is a fundamental element of mathematics. Here, the rigours of "proof" meet the process of "finger multiplication" to great effect. The author gives an alternative proof to finger multiplication. (Contains 2 figures.)
