uhhhh that's not how everyone does it?
7+6
You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.
I'd split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head
Same thing as 7+3+3
Common core math calls that “friendly numbers”.
Nah, I'm down with the 9s. 9+6 is 15 so it must be 13
Nah that's 8+8=16 so 16 -2 is 14. 14 -1 is 13, so 13. or as my maths teacher said. Wat? 1 point, negative 0.5 for incorrect formula 0.5 total. Even though it always worked!
Edit: Hell other ways to work it out. 7+7=13 logically vs my calculator so 5+5+5 = 15. 15 is incorrect why? because +5 is +2 more than necessary so 7+7 must equal 5+5+3 which = 13 or as my mental maths exam told me Fuck you! You Fail! Can't do maths in 10 seconds then you are either retarded or have another mental issue, to the stupid class you go! (It wasn't stupid class if those students got the support they needed they would have excelled!) (You had to pretend to be "normal" to make "academic progress"))
3+3 =6. 6 < 7 so 3+3+3+3 = 12 but 6<7 so 12+0.5+0.5 =13
It is. Some people find more common numbers easier to add, then just figure out the difference. People in this community love to call totally normal stuff “adhd logic.”
