Seems that ‘math tricks’ of various kinds have been ‘invented’ that can be useful when learned and applied properly….. HOWEVER – BASIC 4-function Arithmetic (+.-.X,/) is the BASIS for all of them. I feel that K-12 education should be limited to these basics – OK, advanced placement people can move ahead if they are ‘math wiz’ types.
