How to do them fast

Keep the big number whole and add the small one in two steps, tens and then ones.

347 + 68 = 415
347 + 60 = 407 → 407 + 8 = 415

Close to 100? Add the hundred and take the difference back.

265 + 97 = 362
265 + 100 = 365 → 365 − 3 = 362

Around 3 seconds each is good going; under 2 is fast. More methods are in the mental math tricks.

Do them against the clock

Practice deals you 20 fresh problems at a time and shows how long each one took. Or play today's sprint, the same for everyone.
