1. It is time to see whether you are able to improve your skill in mental calculation. Without using a pocket calculator, work as quickly and accurately as possible:

1.1 ________ x 9 = 72 1.9

1.2 ________ x 8 = 96

1.3 5 000 − 4 225 = ________

1.4 2 575 + 125 = ________

1.5 (7 x ________ + 7 = 70

1.6 (5 x 9) − ________ = 34

1.7 84 ¸ 9 = ________

  • Round off to the nearest 1 000: 9 450: ________
  • Double: 3 124: ________

1.10 Halve 1 008: ________

1.11 250 + 25 + 75 = ________

1.12 (9 x 12) + 92 = ________

1.13 (12 x 12) − ________ = 99

1.14 (42 + ________) x 100 = 5 000
