Cool math tricks

Performing mental mathematics can be quite difficult but some cool mental math tricks can make it so interesting that the students will always yearn for more. Here are some of the cool tricks.

The fantastic 11 rule

There is a great likelihood that many people know the 10 rule. That is, when you multiply a number by 10, you add a 0 at the end of the number. However, the 11 rule may be unknown to many. It is so easy to comprehend.

 - As you multiply any two digit number by 11

 - Let us take 36 for this example (3-6) and notice the gap in between them.

 - Then, sum up the two digits, 3 and 6 together

 - Put the result, 9 in the gap in between.

 - That is simply done 39 x 11=3 96


However, there is one tricky thing that you should remember, if the result after you have added the two digits is more than9, put only the digit representing the "ones" in the gap. For example:

74x11…7_4….4 +7=11…

Put the 1 in the gap, and add 1 to the 7 to get 8, therefore, the answer to 74 x 11 = 814


How to multiply by 999, 99 or 9

Multiplying a number by 9 is just like multiplying it by 10-1.
As such, multiplying 9 × 9 is9 (10-1) whose result is 90 -9 = 81
Another example:

9 × 68… = 68 10-1)

= 680 - 68

= 612


To multiply a number by 99 is the same as by (100-1)

47 multiplied by 99….47 (100-1)

=4700-47…=4653


Multiplying a number by 1000 means the same as multiplying the same by (1000-1)
Therefore, 55 multiplied by 1000 is the same as…..55(1000-1)

=55000-55

=54945


How to squ9are two digit numbers

Take for example that you want to square 48. The first step is squaring each of the digits to get the partial results.

4 × 4 16 and 8 × 8 = 64. Then put the two digits together, 1664.

From there, you should multiply the digits of the number that you want to square….4 × 8=32

Double the resulting product to get 64

Add 64 to 1664 to get the answer as
