Summary/Abstract: To solve the relevance paradox in mathematics education this paper suggests that LIB-mathematics as 2+3 = 5, valid only in the library and not in the laboratory, should be replaced by LAB-mathematics as 2*3 = 6, also valid in the laboratory. Replacing modern authorized routines with postmodern authentic routines turns elementary mathematics upside down by bringing the authority back to the multiplicity-laboratory where mathematics may be learned from one digit numbers only.
