10on10 Math Tricks :)

10on10 is trying best to work towards making math fun and easy for kids. We always welcome suggestions from our 10on10 parents. 10on10 was started with a mission to make the foundation of kids strong in math. Math has always been the enemy of kids. Numbers tend to confuse the kids and give them hallucinations and nightmares.

Today one needs math in almost every field of education. Math is required in our day to day life as well. From time to money, everything needs math. Calculating on which day our birthday will come next year, is a math problem as well. Math has an implied relationship with our life.

Today our 10on10 Team wants to share some math tricks for kids, which they can share with friends and have fun:

Trick 1: Number below 10
Step1: Think of a number below 10.
Step2: Double the number you have thought.
Step3: Add 6 with the getting result.
Step4: Half the answer, that is divide it by 2.
Step5: Take away the number you have thought from the answer, that is, subtract the answer from the number you have thought.
Answer: It will always be 3

Trick 2: Day of the Week:
January has 31 days. It means that every date in February will be 3 days later than the same date in January (28 is 4 weeks exactly). The below table is calculated in such a way. Remember this table which will help you to calculate.
January 0
February 3
March 3
April 6
May 1
June 4
July 6
August 2
September 5
October 0
November 3
December 5

Step1: Ask for the Date. Ex: 23rd June 1986
Step2: Number of the month on the list, June is 4.
Step3: Take the date of the month, that is 23
Step4: Take the last 2 digits of the year, that is 86.
Step5: Find out the number of leap years. Divide the last 2 digits of the year by 4, 86 divide by 4 is 21.
Step6: Now add all the 4 numbers: 4 + 23 + 86 + 21 = 134.
Step7: Divide 134 by 7 = 19 remainder 1.
The reminder tells you the day.
