• Why Do We Still Teach People to Calculate?

  As someone with reasonably good mental math skills (120+ score consistently on https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/, default settings), I cannot really say it helps me much in the real life, at least not on the surface. It sure is nice to be able to estimate some things accurately without having to resort to a calculator, but in no way would anything change in the way I think or conclusions I make if I had to use one,... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• I'm an adult and can't do subtraction, multiplication, or division on paper

  You should also find an online arithmetic drill site and set it up to give you 1-digit addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems. You don't have to memorize all the 1-digit number facts (I didn't until I was in college) but boy howdy will it speed you up. You should drill until you can do about 30 in two minutes. I recommend arithmetic.zetamac.com ; you should select addition and multiplication only,... Source: over 1 year ago

• Non Written Arithmetic Games

  I've spent time improving my written arithmetic with games like https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/. Speed drills. I still struggle with arithmetic that is prompted without being written down. I.e. If someone said "43+12" I would find this hard whereas doing this on a written online speed drill is fine. Does anyone have any resources that would say outloud basic arithmetic questions and I can then input the answers? Source: almost 2 years ago

• What have you done with your giftedness?

  I'm guessing you meant traders instead of readers. I think everyone has to be reasonably smart to work here. Raw computational ability-wise, traders have to perform very well on Zetamac (https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/), meaning a score of around 80-100 for a duration of 120 seconds. You also need to have a very strong sense of risk and probabilities, which kind of implies giftedness, as most people struggle with... Source: about 2 years ago

• Tips for getting faster at basic mathematics?

  I think you just need drilling to build confidence. There are a ton of arithmetic drill pages on the Web. I just found https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/ but I'm sure there are lots of them. This one lets you select which operations to drill, and what ranges the input numbers should be, and how long the timed trial should be. Start with just addition, 1 to 10, and just crank it up gradually as you gain confidence. Source: over 2 years ago
