Mental Math - Keeping A
Running Total
One person uses a calculator and everyone else holds
on to the numbers in his or her head. Now take turns calling out a
number. Add each number to the total of the previous numbers.
After 10 or so numbers have been called out. Compare the totals
calculated mentally with the total on the calculator.
Hint: Rounding the numbers before adding makes
the calculating much easier. Less than five round down to zero, more
than five round up to one. For example if someone called out 22 as the
number, you could add 20 instead. If the number was 49, add 50
instead. The sum of 22 and 49 is 71, the sum of 20 and 50 is 70--very
close.
