Thank you, lovely book, have recommended many times” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ➕ ➖ ✖️ ➗ #mondaymorningmentalmaths #mentalmaths #braintraining #mathsfacts #multiplication

🧠A squary tip for squaring numbers near 100 ⚡️ e.g. 96² ✨How far is it from 100? It’s 4 LESS ✨We do 96-4. This gives us the first part of our answer: 92 ✨We do 4². This gives us the second part of our answer: 16 96²=9216 🤯 e.g. 105² ✨How far is it from 100? It’s 5 MORE ✨We do 105+5. This gives us the first part of our answer: 110 ✨We do 5². This gives us the second part of our answer: 25 105²=11025 🤓 ⛔️ We always need a 2 digit answer from the second part, so if we get a 1 digit answer in the last step, add a 0 in front of it. 👉For more fantastic tips to help you multiply like a boss, check out our brand new Mental Maths Course.

Here’s a multiplication trick that feels illegal but isn’t. Let’s multiply 53 by 11. Most people stack it and start carrying numbers. We’re not doing that. Step 1: Take the two digits, 5 and 3. Step 2: Add them together. 5 plus 3 equals 8. Step 3: Slip that 8 right in between the 5 and the 3. Boom. 583. That’s it. Let’s try another one. 72 times 11. 7 plus 2 equals 9. Slide the 9 into the middle. 792. Now here’s where it gets spicy. What about 68 times 11? 6 plus 8 equals 14. You can’t squeeze 14 into one slot. So you put the 4 in the middle… and carry the 1 to the 6. So now it becomes 748. No long multiplication. No sweat. Try this with a few numbers and watch people’s eyebrows lift.
