Looking for an easy math trick to teach your kids? My brother and I loved these kinds of “tricks” when we were kids. Heck, I still do! 
An easy way to practice basic math facts while impressing their friends or parents 😉 I made a printable in case your kids like things in front of them or if you wanted to have them work out their problem. Here’s a quick video too:

I remember those tricks from when I was at school. Used to love playing them on my parents and grandparents.
It was so fun to amaze them wasn’t it? 😉
Love this trick! Fond memories of my Dad doing it at the table on a Saturday morning and us trying to figure out how he always knew the right number 😉
I love that!
Fun idea!
