Scott Flansburg, "Turn On The Human Calculator In You"

Foreword

Is math really that important in our day to day life? After all we do have calculators to do math for us,

left?

Having calculators, small enough to carry in our shirt pocket, is not a good reason to discount the

advantage of knowing how to do math in our head on a daily basis. We have become lazy in our

daily routine as new inventions have been developed.

By using the strategies in this course you will begin to have an overwhelming feeling of how easy and

fun math can be.

If you are a student, whether it be elementary, middle school, high school or college, you will be able

to apply the strategies taught in this course to your life each and everyday. After a couple hours of

practice with these strategies you will have a whole new way of looking at math and it will no doubt

change the way you look at figures for the rest of your life. Your confidence to study and excell in all

subjects after applying our strategies will be dramatically increased.

If you are a parent, you will see a more confident child which is something every concerned parent

wishes for.

If you are not a parent read through this next example on your own, it will prove a strong point, that

even the toughest of math problems can be made easy if it is approached differently.

Parents should consider this: Turn to the Squaring-Strategy 5 section of this workbook and read

through it once, (that is all it takes). Call your child over, and ask him the answer to the following

question:

What is the square of 45?

(or what is 45x45)

I know what you are saying. "I don't know what the answer is".

Relax, once you have read and mastered the Squaring-Strategies, you will feel like a math genius.

Now back to your child. When you ask him "to square 45" he will look at you either in confusion,

embarrassment, or will more than likely shrug his shoulders and want to hide from you.

Remember, our system stimulates creative thinking. At this point your child might try every excuse in

the book to avoid having to answer your question. But be persistent. Even very good math students

have trouble squaring numbers with calculators. Imagine how confident they will be when they see

they can square numbers in their head! Almost 99.9% of the time your child will have trouble with

"squaring 45" regardless of age.

But ask him to work out the equation using our strategy. Work it out with him verbally at first. Here it

is again:

What is the square of 45?

After reading the strategy you will know that all squared numbers which end in '5' have an answer

which will end in '25'.

Explain this to your child and write the equation down on a piece of paper like this:

Now tell your child in order to get the first part of the answer he will need to add 1 to the first digit of

the number to be squared, which is 4+1=5. Add this to the equation on the paper like this:

Now ask your child to multiply 4x5 to get 20. Add the answer to the number 25, which is the last

part of the answer, making the total answer 2,025. He will now know that 45 2 is 2,025!

Without doubt at this point you and/or your child will be smiling. He will ask "how did you know how

to figure this problem out?" Explain it to him. He will have the same thought running through his

mind as most people do when they are taught this method, "I never would have thought I could do

that. So what else can I do now that I thought I couldn't do before? "
