In today's lesson we're going to learn some key mathematical phrases
Despite learning how to say numbers very early on in your studies, it's quite possible to reach a good level of Chinese without knowing some very basic terms of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Today we teach you these key math terms so that you can start saying equations, testing your friends mental math ability, or understand what people are saying when they are adding up at the counter when buying things.

九九乘法表 (jiǔjiǔchéngfǎbiǎo) - the multiplication table/times table
三一得三 (sān yī dé sān) - three times one gets three

At around 10:45, Constance says 六十平方米 and the Chinese subtitle reads the same. However, in English it says "six square meters." This should be sixty, not six.
