![]() For this example, we’re going to use 20 (×) 700. However, this one only works if one of the numbers is even. We’ve found a way to teach children how to quickly multiply large numbers. (What you DON’T do is place the 14 between 6 and 8 like this ⏤ 6148.) Instead, what you do is “carry the one” to the hundredth place.Īnd just to make sure the rule of 11 still works, the byproduct of 68 ( × ) 11 = 748 If the original number = 68, then the sum of 6+8=14.

Multiply today’s date 5 times and subtract it from the result Tell them to add their shoe size to the result (for example, the child’s shoe size is 6) Have them write their age on a piece of paperĪdd today’s date (if it is the 23rd day of the month, the number should be 23) You easily guess any child’s age using the following simple math magic trick: Start by having your child select a number between 1 and 10 This is a magic trick that never fails ⏤ the final answer is always 7. ![]() Introducing an easier, more magical way to add the two numbers together:įigure out how much you added to each number to round it up to a multiple of 10. Imagine you are trying to add 536 and 389. For those who are unfamiliar, the secret is to make each number a multiple of 10. In fact, it’s a fairly common technique in math curriculums globally. This is one of the most useful ways to add large numbers. What’s even more remarkable is that the first digit (tens place) of the product will be half of the second digit (the ones place).

Here are 19 simple but incredibly useful tricks to introduce to your students or children.
