Add Long Columns of Numbers Quickly

Adding long lists of numbers one at a time is slow and error-prone. Look for pairs that sum to 10, group numbers that are easy to add (like 25+75=100).

Problem

Adding long lists of numbers one at a time is slow and error-prone.

Solution

Look for pairs that sum to 10, group numbers that are easy to add (like 25+75=100).

Benefit

Speeds up mental addition by 50% by reducing the number of operations.

Example

Add: 8 + 14 + 2 + 6 + 25 + 75

Group strategically:
(8 + 2) = 10
(14 + 6) = 20
(25 + 75) = 100

10 + 20 + 100 = 130
