I’m in 7th grade
First thing I need help with is arithmetic
I need help like
Multiplying and dividing
Number fast
And also adding and subtracting them fast
I think for multiplying, etc. numbers fast you just have to practise and do a lot of multiplications, divisions, etc. there is no magic behind it. Or do you mean you don't know at all how to do it?
I know how to do it
Okay understood
Thank you
Have you heard of a soroban abacus?
Perhaps you can use it to develop number sense.
It can be used for addition subtraction multiplying and dividing.
Classical Mental Arithmetic (CMA) International is a mathematics educational centre established in 1984 by master Tai Chiang Ching of Taiwan that specialises in the two-hand abacus mental arithmetic. This amazing wealth of knowledge was brought to Singapore by Mr. Tay Shy Ching, who started the first branch of CMA Singapore in 2005 and since the...
I have seen advanced competitors using this to do big numbers.
Arithmetic*
I you haven't yet, maybe get a sense for solving easy equations and get to know variables
you should learn times tables
i’m in 7th too when i was in like kindergarten - 4th grade i did flash cards and times tables with cards
and just learn factors
ok so basically @sweet helm
and equation is something with an equal sign
like 1+1=2
and a variable is a placeholder
imagine a menu
where the order is x
if you were to order a burger, x = burger
for example
but variables are for numbers not food
so if x was the amount of days you were in this server, 22-19=x, x = 3
however, variables can be used in the middle of equations
think of this equation 4+x=5
to solve it, we must kind of "reverse engineer" it
the inverse of addition is subtraction and therefore we use subtraction to find the answer
5-4=x
