Left-to-Right (L2R) Mental Subtraction Mojo

   Left-to-right subtraction makes a lot more sense than the usual way we subtract. There are just a few things you have to know to be able to do it well, mentally, and soon you will be doing it faster than you do it the usual way with a pencil and paper. You will be quicker than a friend with a calculator if you practice a few minutes a day.

Before you try it, try a few simple subtractions by clicking here, to make sure you are ok at the easy stuff. When you are done with that, close that window and return here, then click here to go to the next page

You must have flash player loaded on your computer to play the page. If you can't see the flash movie on the page, you can load flash player (free) by downloading it from this site

 

Good! Enough of that, then! On to catch some bigger fish!
