How to make our calculation part strong in maths?

Answers (1)

Following tips can be proved helpful for  speedy calculations in Maths:

  • Do speed addition and subtraction tests. The more you work with the numbers themselves, the quicker you will recall how they work together. Start back at simple addition and subtraction to ensure the fundamentals are solid.
  • Memorize multiplication tables up through 15. Usually, in elementary school, you are required to memorize the multiplication tables from 0-10. Practice those again, adding in 11-15. Knowing that many multiplications by memory alone will speed up your calculations significantly.
  • Recall your multiplication tables for division. Try some division speed tests next, using the recall of your multiplication tables to find your answer. Just as you shouldn’t have to work out the math for division involving 0-15, you should just match the right answer to the combination of numbers presented.
  • Simplify calculations into smaller, easier calculations. For example, if you are multiplying 125 x 15, you can break this up into two component parts (factoring out, essentially). First, multiply 125 x 10 (1250). Second, divide that answer by 2 (625). Now add both numbers together (1250 + 625 = 1875)
  • Vocalize your mental process to yourself. Saying the numbers and process out loud will make you hear the calculation as you work it out, too. This adds a new layer of learning and memorizing on top of what’s already there.
