The 11 Rule
This is a quick way to multiply two-digit numbers by 11 in your head.
Examples: 72 x 11 = 792
57 x 11 = 5 _ 7, but 5 + 7 = 12, so put 2 in the space and add the 1 to the 5 to get
627
Memorizing Pi
To remember the first seven digits of pi, count the number of letters in each word
of the sentence:
Example: The 210 slices of pizza may be evenly distributed into groups of 2, 3,
6, 10.
Examples: To multiply 9 by 5, fold down the fifth finger from the left. Count
fingers on either side of the "fold" to get the answer. In this case, the answer is 45.
To multiply 9 times 6, fold down the sixth finger, giving an answer of 54.
