How to Do Mental Math

1Understand the Problem

Read the problem carefully and break it into smaller, manageable parts.

2Use Simple Techniques

Addition & Subtraction

Round numbers, then adjust.

498 + 237 → 500 + 237 = 737
737 - 2 = 735

Multiplication

Break numbers into factors.

12 × 15 → (10 × 15) + (2 × 15)
150 + 30 = 180

Division

Use estimation or simplify.

144 ÷ 12 → 12 × ? = 144
Answer: 12

Cool Tricks

Multiply by 9

Multiply by 10 and subtract the number.

9 × 6 → (10 × 6) - 6 = 54

Squares ending in 5

Multiply first digit by (itself + 1), append 25.

35² → (3 × 4) & 25 = 1225

Percent Error

Estimate 10%, 5%, 1% first.

15% of 80 → 10%(8) + 5%(4) = 12
