I wish every school would teach math by Dr. Benjamin’s methods. We’d probably never create math-hating-fearing students with this professor’s intriguing, easy and logical approaches to using numbers.<br> I didn’t believe Benjamin’s claim to do mental calculations faster than a calculator until I learned (quickly) two processes in his Chapter 0 (the first chapter)—how to multiply instantly any two or three digit number by eleven. The process is so simple that I calculated answers faster than a problem could even be punched into a calculator. That hooked me on Dr. Benjamin’s math teaching. Just for the joy involved!<br> His Chapter One teaches addition and subtraction in your head super fast. Other chapters teach such processes as basic, intermediate and advanced multiplication and division, squaring numbers and memorizing numbers easily—all without paper or pencil.<br> Chapter Nine discusses the art of mathematical magic—how to wow people with your speedy mental calculations. Maybe doing so would help convince the world and those who think they hate math that the subject can be FUN.
