No, but the point of a text book is to teach the child how to do the above-stated objective.  Is it being taught by arrays?  How are the arrays transitioned into the idea of algorhythmic (sorry for my spelling) process?  Is the child expected to do this multiplication by drawing symbolic arrays?  By the "normal" method of multiplication?  By lattice multiplication?

Without a text book, parents don't know and students can't review outside of class.

I don't understand. Are you saying that a textbook is the only way for the parents to find out how the teachers are teaching multiplication and for the students to review outside of class? It is one way, yes; but it's surely not the only way. Another way, for example, is to look at the work the student brings home and to ask the teacher. And if the student doesn't bring home work, and/or the teacher won't answer, the problem is not that there is no textbook. The problem is that the teacher is not doing what the teacher is supposed to [/quote]
