When is the last time you did some mental arithmetic training - at school? In the digital age computers and calculators are doing all the maths for us creating a generation of mental arithmetic illiterates.
However, we often need to make a quick calculation at work or on the road without having the necessary equipment at our hands. Besides, using the calculator always requires more time than doing the maths in your brain - if, yes if you are used to it.
I know that it is very painful but we need to train our brains regularly to maintain certain skills. I therefore recommend training mental arithmetic skills regularly to keep the small grey cells in good shape. There are a lot of sites on the Internet offering games, so that this training can be some kind of fun.
Here is one of my favored ones: brain training puzzles
