Mental Math Strategies
Speed up your arithmetic with proven techniques · 암산 전략 가이드
1. Why Mental Math?
Mental math builds number sense, improves working memory, and speeds up everyday calculations. It's a skill that compounds over time.
Studies show that regular mental math practice strengthens neural pathways associated with problem-solving. Even 10 minutes daily can improve calculation speed by 40% within a month. It also builds confidence for standardized tests and real-world scenarios like splitting bills or estimating costs.

2. Addition Tricks
Break numbers into friendly parts. For 47 + 86: add 47 + 80 = 127, then + 6 = 133. Always round to tens first.
The key principle: make one number "round" (ending in 0). For 67+28: think 67+30−2 = 95. This reduces cognitive load by working with simpler numbers first.
핵심 원리: 한 숫자를 "깔끔한 수"(0으로 끝나는)로 만드세요. 67+28의 경우: 67+30−2 = 95로 생각하면 더 간단한 숫자부터 처리하여 인지 부하를 줄입니다.
3. Multiplication Shortcuts
Distribute to simpler factors. For 12 × 15: compute 12×10 = 120, then 12×5 = 60, sum = 180.
Another powerful trick: for numbers near 100, use the "complement method." For 97×96: both are close to 100. Subtract deficits (3 and 4), cross-subtract (97−4=93), multiply deficits (3×4=12), result = 9312.
또 다른 강력한 방법: 100에 가까운 수의 곱셈에는 "보수법"을 사용하세요. 97×96: 부족분(3과 4)을 교차 빼기(97−4=93), 부족분 곱(3×4=12), 결과 = 9312.
4. Division Strategies
Factor the divisor or use known multiples. For 144 ÷ 12: recognize 12² = 144, so the answer is 12.
For division by 5, multiply by 2 and divide by 10 (much easier). Example: 340÷5 = 340×2÷10 = 680÷10 = 68. For division by 25, multiply by 4 and divide by 100.
5로 나눌 때는 2를 곱하고 10으로 나누세요 (훨씬 쉽습니다). 예: 340÷5 = 340×2÷10 = 68. 25로 나눌 때는 4를 곱하고 100으로 나누세요.
