They are not writing out their work using pencil and paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s a skill that helps children grow as mathematicians. As adults, we rely on mental math in our daily lives when we are calculating a tip or adding up what we are spending at the store. It can be helpful for children to begin to develop these skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When working on mental math in the classroom, I would often give a multi-step problem and add pauses in between each part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For example, I might say:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with the number 60. Double the number. Add 10. What is the answer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pausing in between each step allows the students time to calculate each step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of problems are great for meaningful time fillers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-pin-description=\"These mental math worksheets are designed to give your practice with mental math work.\" data-pin-title=\"Mental Math Worksheets\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"These mental math worksheets are designed to give your practice with mental math work.\" class=\"wp-image-5484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-735x1103.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-223x335.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-231x347.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-347x520.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-427x640.jpg 427w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/mental-math-worksheets-pinterest.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -
