Problems you prevent (or mitigate) when using Mental Calculation

1.Difficulties in solving mathematical problems: Mental calculation skills are essential for tackling more complex mathematical problems effectively. By improving speed and accuracy in basic calculations, students can build a strong foundation for handling advanced mathematical challenges.


2.Poor performance in maths assessments and exams: A lack of mental calculation skills can impact students' performance in maths tests, as they may take longer to solve basic problems. Enhancing mental calculation speed allows students to respond more quickly and accurately in exams, potentially improving overall grades.


3.Lack of motivation and confidence in maths: Struggling with mental calculation can lead to low self-esteem and disengagement in maths. By strengthening these skills, students can gain confidence in their mathematical abilities and feel more motivated to engage actively in learning the subject.
