How to get faster at mental maths
- Learn the times tables to 12 first, then to 20. They are used in almost every mental calculation.
- Know the squares to 20 and the cubes to 10 by heart.
- Estimate before you calculate. A rough answer catches most slips.
- Work left to right. Adding and multiplying from the biggest part first matches how you read numbers.
- Practise little and often. Five minutes a day beats an hour once a week.
- Review your mistakes. The results screen lists each wrong answer so you can see exactly what to learn next.
