    Secret Of Mental Math Arithmetic - Jason Scotts

    Chapter 1- Mental Math Arithmetic- Getting Rid of the Calculator

    Mental calculations use only the human mind in order to find a solution to a mathematical problem. The human brain is used as a calculation tool, and the end results are determined from a mental computation of the arithmetic data itself. A calculator or computer is not used to find the end result of the arithmetic problem.

    Techniques

    Various mental techniques are frequently used to find a correct answer for a mental math calculation; these mental math techniques usually take advantage of the decimal and numeral systems. There are certain systems that may be used, and the method that is chosen is determined by the particular calculations that are being performed. A radix may be used for easy tasks that simply use a decimal point location to decide the correct answer for a math problem. Multiplying and dividing by 10 can be accurately done by moving the decimal point to the correct place within the numbers being used. A hexadecimal system needs to be used when the math problem uses other multiplying or dividing numbers. Using the number seven as a multiplier or divider may create a more complex mental math problem.

    Techniques and Other Methods

    There are other techniques and methods that may be used to find the correct answers to mental math arithmetic problems. The sum of the first nine digits of a group of nine numbers may be added, and this group of nine digits is called an operand. This technique uses the sum of the digits and several other operations to arrive at a correct answer. This particular method is called casting out nines. This type of mental math calculation may be used after a certain number of practice sessions in order to determine the correct sequence of operations needed.

    Estimation and Mental Math Arithmetic

    A second method that is used for mental math arithmetic is a technique called estimation. This type of mental math uses a necessary scaling of the numbers. This estimation will instruct the mental math user to estimate the number of digits and to be aware of the expected number of digits for the correct answer. Counting the number
