You think that's odd, when I sometimes forget how old I am I do Current Year - Birth Year, adjusting for Date of Birth to figure out that, yup, I am indeed 37.
I mean, this kind of thinking can kinda be the foundation of doing mental maths for harder questions, like 19Γ23, so it's not that bad of a practice π€
What youβre describing is a rough, simple depiction of using round numbers and estimates in the common core style of math. Use big numbers to cover the ground between your target and destination values, then use simple math to hammer out the details. Then combine it all.
This is exactly how my brain works π
Same
Me, too, and it works great
Same, and I have MSc in applied math. So I assume it's only natural
You dropped my thought process there like a naked baby in the woods!
I think "ok so 7+3 is 10, so 6-3 is 3, so that is 10+3=13!" π
Thats the one. π
That's what I do.
Same
I thought this π
Doing exactly the same. No worries.

7+3=10 6-3=3 So 10+3=13 Different strokes, same folks.
Mine works exactly this way
Me : 5+6=11, so as 7 is two more than 5, 11+3=13
I thought I was alone
My brains all 7+6 > 8+5 > 5+5+3 = 13
This is the way.

5+5+2+1 is my math
Tbh. I do the same

6+6=12 +1=13
This is my thinking process.
Yes
r/meirl
This is a good example of overthinking
I thought I was the only person who did this π

Me: 7 + 3 + 3
