MORE ON SHORTCUT COMPUTATIONS

SHORTCUTS IN ADDITION: Add-and-subtract method of simplifying numbers Example: 97 + 237 Solution by steps: a. Add 3 to 97 to make it an easy 100 b. 237 3 = 234

c. 100 + 234 = 334

SHORTCUTS IN SUBTRACTION: Add-or-subtract method of simplifying numbers Example: 123 96

Solution by steps: a. Add 4 to 96 to make it an easy 100 b. 132 100 = 23. This is 4 less than the real difference

c. Add the 4 back: 23 + 4 = 27 answer SHORTCUTS IN MULTIPLICATION: Multiplying a two-digit number by 11 Example: 27 x 11 Solution by steps: a. Sum of the number s digits: 2 + 7 = 9

b. Insert the 9 between the 2 and 7: 297 answer
