Which 7 Practices can Improve Mental Maths?
Hi, Are you ready to unlock the magic of Mental Maths? Whether you're a student, a parent, or an educator, understanding and honing mental math skills can be incredibly beneficial. From boosting confidence to enhancing problem-solving abilities, mastering mental math can lay a solid foundation for future mathematical success. Here, we'll explore seven effective practices to improve Mental Maths, helping students develop fluency and agility in arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Mental Maths commences with the foundational operations of addition and subtraction. Introduce students to the power of "rounding up" or "rounding down" to simplify calculations. For example, when adding 47 and 38, students can round 47 up to 50 and 38 down to 40, making the mental addition much more manageable. This trick not only speeds up calculations but also builds confidence in tackling larger numbers effortlessly.
Multiplication magic awaits as students delve into the realm of Mental Maths. Teach them the art of "doubling and halving" to swiftly multiply numbers. For instance, to find the product of 16 and 25, students can mentally halve 16 (8) and double 25 (50), making the multiplication simpler (8 × 50 = 400). This technique not only saves time but also encourages creative thinking and flexibility in approaching mathematical problems.
Division dilemmas dissolve when students master the "multiplication connection" trick. Encourage them to reverse-engineer division problems by utilizing their knowledge of multiplication facts. For example, when dividing 72 by 8, students can mentally recall that 8 times 9 equals 72, thus swiftly determining the quotient as 9. This clever trick reinforces the interconnectivity of mathematical operations and fosters a deeper understanding of number relationships.
Word problems become enchanting puzzles with the "chunking" technique. Encourage students to break down complex problems into smaller, manageable chunks, tackling each part separately. For instance, if a word problem involves finding the total cost of multiple items, students can mentally add the prices of each group of items before combining the subtotals to arrive at the solution effortlessly.
Repetition reigns supreme in the kingdom of mental math mastery. Incorporate daily "quick-fire" sessions into the classroom routine, challenging students with a variety of mental math exercises. From rapid-fire addition races to lightning-speed multiplication marathons, these engaging activities not only sharpen arithmetic skills but also instil a sense of excitement and camaraderie among students.
Encourage students to explore unconventional strategies and shortcuts in their quest for mental math prowess. From using visualizations to employing estimation techniques, empower them to think outside the box and discover their own unique approaches to problem-solving. After all, mathematics is not just about finding the right answer but also about embracing creativity and innovation.
Finally, ignite students' passion for mathematics by showcasing its real-world applications. From calculating discounts during shopping sprees to estimating distances during road trips, highlight the practical significance of mental math in everyday life. By bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world experiences, students develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty and utility of Mental Maths.
In conclusion, mastering Mental Maths is not merely about memorizing facts and algorithms but about embracing curiosity, creativity, and perseverance. By incorporating these seven ingenious tricks into teaching and learning, students can unlock the mysteries of mental math and embark on a thrilling journey of mathematical discovery. So, let's sprinkle some magic into the world of numbers and watch as students soar to new heights of mathematical excellence!
How to improve Mental Math Skills?
Here are some tips and techniques to improve mental math skills:
1. Practice Regularly
- Daily Exercises: Spend a few minutes each day solving mental math problems.
- Vedic Maths foundation E-book- This is an amazing book. I have prepared this book to help you. This e-book consists of many mental math tricks (concepts + practice worksheets). Just download the e-book and practice the exercises from the e-book.
- Math Apps and Games: Use apps designed for mental math practice, such as Mathway, mathsapp.

- Multiplication: Use techniques like the distributive property (e.g., 23 × 6 is (20 × 6) + (3 × 6)).
- Division: Break the number into smaller chunks or use approximation (e.g., for 123 ÷ 4, think of 120 ÷ 4 and adjust).
3. Memorize Key Facts and Tables
- Multiplication Tables: Memorize tables up to at least 12 × 12.
- Squares and Cubes: Know the squares and cubes of numbers 1 to 20.
- Common Fractions and Percentages: Understand and memorize common conversions between fractions, decimals, and percentages (e.g., 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%).
4. Develop Estimation Skills
- Rounding: Round numbers to make calculations easier and then adjust the result as needed.
- Front-End Estimation: Focus on the most significant digits to get an approximate answer (e.g., 678 + 345 is approximately 600 + 300).

How to get better at mental maths?
To get better at mental maths, there are several strategies and techniques that I recommend based on my experience as an educator and founder of Welcome2Maths.
First and foremost, practice is essential. Consistent and regular practice helps in building speed and accuracy. Start with simple calculations and gradually increase the complexity as you become more confident. Set aside a specific time each day to practice mental maths, even if it's just for 10-15 minutes.
Understanding the fundamentals is crucial. Ensure you have a solid grasp of basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Mastery of these basics will make it easier to tackle more complex problems.
Learn and apply mental maths techniques. These methods can significantly speed up calculations and make them more intuitive. Techniques such as the "Vertically and Crosswise" method for multiplication or the "All from 9 and the Last from 10" for subtraction are incredibly useful.
Visualization is another powerful tool. Try to visualize numbers and their relationships in your mind. This helps in retaining information and performing calculations more efficiently. For instance, visualizing a number line can aid in understanding addition and subtraction.
Break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts. This strategy, often referred to as chunking, makes it easier to handle large numbers and complex calculations. For example, to multiply 23 by 47, break it down into (20+3) and (40+7) and use distributive properties to simplify the calculation.
Develop mental shortcuts and strategies for common calculations. Memorize multiplication tables, squares, and cubes up to at least 20. Knowing these can save a lot of time during calculations.
Use estimation to check your work. Estimation helps in verifying whether your answer is reasonable and close to the actual value. This can be particularly useful in ensuring accuracy and catching mistakes early.
Stay calm and focused. Mental maths requires concentration, so find a quiet environment where you can practice without distractions. If you find yourself getting frustrated, take a short break and return to the problem with a clear mind.
Lastly, make mental maths fun. Engage in activities and games that challenge your mental maths skills, such as puzzles, brainteasers, and math-based games. This not only makes learning enjoyable but also reinforces your skills.
By incorporating these techniques into your daily routine, you will notice significant improvements in your mental maths abilities. Remember, the key is consistent practice and a willingness to learn and apply new methods.
