A perfect example of didactic teaching today is something we all probably remember: learning our multiplication tables. It's that classic "teacher tells, student absorbs" style. You've got your teacher up front, they give you the facts like "7 x 8 is 56" and your whole job is just to memorize it. Then, you're tested on it to see if you can spit the right answer back out. It's a straightforward, no-frills way to get those basic facts stuck in your brain.

This concept is a perfect example of didactic teaching and can be found everywhere, from a grade school textbook to a simple online search.
