Adding two numbers less than 100 is easy. For instance, 29 + 45 = 74. However, how fast can you do it. Can you do at least sixty additions within one minute. Actually, you can do it, but, with some practices, using the simple technique that will be discuss in this article.
In order to add two numbers less than 100, add the tens first, instead of the ones. For example, to add 29 to 45, you do (29 + 40) + 5 = 69 + 5 = 74. As an addition, you should not say, either verbally or mentally, such as 29 and 40 are 69, 69 and 5 are 74. Instead, just say 69, 74.
Try the following yourself. Please close up the answers.
23 + 48 = 63, 71
47 + 72 = 117, 119
79 + 69 = 139, 148
After some practices, the first reading should be left out. Thus the answer is gathered at once.
The only caveat to this technique is that, the calculation speed is proportional to the frequency of practices made. Without enough practices, you may not master this technique.
