Mathematics can be terrifying for many people. This list will hopefully improve your general knowledge of mathematical tricks and your speed when you need to do some calculation in your head.

http://www.giststudents.com/2016/08/mathematics-tricks-you-probably-didnt.html


1. The 11 Times Trick

We all know the trick when multiplying by ten – add 0 to the end of the number, but did you know there is an equally easy trick for multiplying a two digit number by 11? This is it:

Take the original number and imagine a space between the two digits (in this example we will use 52:

5_2

Now add the two numbers together and put them in the middle:

5_(5+2)_2

That is it – you have the answer: 572.

If the numbers in the middle add up to a 2 digit number, just insert the second number and add 1 to the first:

9_(9+9)_9

(9+1)_8_9

10_8_9

1089 – It works every time.



2. Quick Square

If you need to square a 2 digit number ending in 5, you can do so very easily with this trick. Mulitply the first digit by itself + 1, and put 25 on the end. That is all!

252 = (2x(2+1)) & 25

2 x 3 = 6

625

3. Multiply by 5

Most people memorize the 5 times tables very easily, but when you get in to larger numbers it gets more complex – or does it? This trick is super easy.

Take any number, then divide it by 2 (in other words, halve the number). If the result is whole, add a 0 at the end. If it is not, ignore the remainder and add a 5 at the end. It works everytime:

2682 x 5 = (2682 / 2) & 5 or 0

2682 / 2 = 1341 (whole number so add 0)

13410

Let’s try another:

5887 x 5

2943.5 (fractional number (ignore remainder, add 5)

29435

22189271


4. Multiply by 9

This one is simple – to multiple any number between 1 and 9 by 9 hold both hands in front of your face – drop the finger that corresponds to the number you are multiplying (for example 9×3 – drop your third finger) – count the fingers before the dropped finger (in the case of 9×3 it is 2) then count the numbers after (in this case 7) – the answer is 27.

5. Multiply by 4

This is a very simple trick which may appear obvious to some, but to others it is not. The trick is to simply multiply by two, then multiply by two again:

58 x 4 = (58 x 2) + (58 x 2) = (116) + (116) = 232

6. Calculate a Tip

If you need to leave a 15% tip, here is the easy way to do it. Work out 10% (divide the number by 10) – then add that number to half its value and you have your answer:

15% of $25 = (10% of 25) + ((10% of 25) / 2)

$2.50 + $1.25 = $3.75


7. Tough Multiplication

If you have a large number to multiply and one of the numbers is even, you can easily subdivide to get to the answer:

32 x 125, is the same as:
16 x 250 is the same as:
8 x 500 is the same as:
4 x 1000 = 4,000

1000-Abacus

8. Dividing by 5

Dividing a large number by five is actually very simple. All you do is multiply by 2 and move the decimal point:

195 / 5

Step1: 195 * 2 = 390
Step2: Move the decimal: 39.0 or just 39

2978 / 5

step 1: 2978 * 2 = 5956
Step2: 595.6

9. Subtracting from 1,000

To subtract a large number from 1,000 you can use this basic rule: subtract all but the last number from 9, then subtract the last number from 10:

1000
-648

step1: subtract 6 from 9 = 3
step2: subtract 4 from 9 = 5
step3: subtract 8 from 10 = 2

answer: 352

10. Assorted Multiplication Rules

Multiply by 5: Multiply by 10 and divide by 2.
Multiply by 6: Sometimes multiplying by 3 and then 2 is easy.
Multiply by 9: Multiply by 10 and subtract the original number.
Multiply by 12: Multiply by 10 and add twice the original number.
Multiply by 13: Multiply by 3 and add 10 times original number.
Multiply by 14: Multiply by 7 and then multiply by 2
Multiply by 15: Multiply by 10 and add 5 times the original number, as above.
Multiply by 16: You can double four times, if you want to. Or you can multiply by 8 and then by 2.
Multiply by 17: Multiply by 7 and add 10 times original number.
Multiply by 18: Multiply by 20 and subtract twice the original number (which is obvious from the first step).
Multiply by 19: Multiply by 20 and subtract the original number.
Multiply by 24: Multiply by 8 and then multiply by 3.
Multiply by 27: Multiply by 30 and subtract 3 times the original number (which is obvious from the first step).
Multiply by 45: Multiply by 50 and subtract 5 times the original number (which is obvious from the first step).
Multiply by 90: Multiply by 9 (as above) and put a zero on the right.
Multiply by 98: Multiply by 100 and subtract twice the original number.
Multiply by 99: Multiply by 100 and subtract the original number.

Bonus: Percentages

Yanni in comment 23 gave an excellent tip for working out percentages, so I have taken the liberty of duplicating it here:

Find 7 % of 300. Sound Difficult?

Percents: First of all you need to understand the word “Percent.” The first part is PER , as in 10 tricks per listverse page. PER = FOR EACH. The second part of the word is CENT, as in 100. Like Century = 100 years. 100 CENTS in 1 dollar… etc. Ok… so PERCENT = For Each 100.

So, it follows that 7 PERCENT of 100, is 7. (7 for each hundred, of only 1 hundred).
8 % of 100 = 8. 35.73% of 100 = 35.73
But how is that useful??

Back to the 7% of 300 question. 7% of the first hundred is 7. 7% of 2nd hundred is also 7, and yep, 7% of the 3rd hundred is also 7. So 7+7+7 = 21.

If 8 % of 100 is 8, it follows that 8% of 50 is half of 8 , or 4.

Break down every number that’s asked into questions of 100, if the number is less then 100, then move the decimal point accordingly.

EXAMPLES:
8%200 = ? 8 + 8 = 16.
8%250 = ? 8 + 8 + 4 = 20.
8%25 = 2.0 (Moving the decimal back).
15%300 = 15+15+15 =45.
15%350 = 15+15+15+7.5 = 52.5

Also it’s usefull to know that you can always flip percents, like 3% of 100 is the same as 100% of 3.

35% of 8 is the same as 8% of 35

The Federal Government recently directed that the award of the Higher National Diploma (HND) by the nation’s polytechnics be abolished.

http://www.giststudents.com/2016/08/see-what-naija-stakeholders-said-about.html

It equally stated that the polytechnics will become campuses of the proximate universities with the Vice Chancellors of those universities appointing provosts for the polytechnics, subject to the ratification of the Universities Councils.

If this is implemented now, it means that the award of HND will only be limited to only the students currently admitted for the programmes. Subsequently, polytechnics will be limited to the award of National Diploma (ND) and any student who wish to further his or her studies after obtaining ND award will have to pursue the award of Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) through the proximate university.

This directive by the FG has however attracted mixed reactions.

While some are in support of this development going by the fact it will help resolve the HND-B.Sc discrimination, some lecturers and stake holders are of the opinion that this move will result in the mass sack of polytechnic lecturers as many of them may not have the qualifications to fit into the new system and many may not be able to improve their qualifications immediately due to constraints of time, age , finance and even unfavourable structures.

According to the Acting Head, Mass Communication Department, UNILAG, Dr. Oluruntola Sunday,said that:
 the move by Federal Ministry of Education will not augur well as certain machineries ought to have been put in place before declaring the outright scrapping of HND by polytechnics.

Another senior lecturer, Dr. Tayo Poopola lamented that the constant change of policies without getting people’s opinions has been the bane in the education sector.

" Nigeria, who operate a democratic rule, ought to set agenda for public discussion before declaring a new policy. " He stated.

 Academic activity have resumes in Kogi State University 

 
http://www.giststudents.com/2016/08/kogi-state-university-resumes-academic.html

This is to inform the Students of the Kogi State University (KSU) that the management have ordered them to return back to school for a completion of their semester examinations.
The students were sent home for four (4) months, following an indefinite strike by a school workers over the government’s inability to pay their arrears of salaries and other allowances.


The school has been reopened as a result a deal that was struck between the striking workers and Management to end the industrial action. As the students returned, they hoped both parties would sustain the agreement, praying against another strike.


Some of them decried the strike, describing it as an “unnecessary distraction and interruption”. Adeleke Omofaye, a 300-Level Education student, expressed bitterness, describing the strike as the worst period in the time he spent on the campus. He said he did not pray for another strike till his last day on the campus.


Adeleke called for understanding between government and the university workers to avoid a situation where the school would lose its credibility, because of constant disruption of its academic calendar.

 Withdrawal of 2016 JAMB admission list a national embarrassment, demoralising

 


Dr Victor Akinola, an educationist, on Wednesday criticized the withdrawal of admission lists by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) from tertiary institutions in the country. Akinola, who is the the Director, Information and Communication Technology at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos, described the withdrawal as an embarrassment.

He spoke against the backdrop of the recent withdrawal of the 2016/2017 admission lists from tertiary institutions by JAMB. JAMB had on July 30 withdrawn the lists of recommended candidates for admissions earlier sent to the tertiary institutions.

Dr Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Head of Media had in a statement explained that the withdrawal was to ensure that the various university senates perform their statutory responsibility. “The withdrawal could have been avoided if the board had planned well before the scrapping of post-UTME.
“The candidates whose names had been sent earlier to the universities would definitely be demoralized. “This unfolding event could have been avoided if there had been proper planning by the board before the scrapping of post UTME,’’ he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). “Democratically, universities should have an upper hand in determining the students to be admitted following the laid down rules and objectives.’’ The don said the opportunity now given to tertiary institutions to choose their candidates should have been the first thing to do before the post-UTME was scrapped.

According to Akinola, the federal government does not have monopoly in terms of admission of candidates into higher institutions. He noted that the federal government could only regulate admissions into its own institutions for balancing. “So also states, regions, individuals, corporate bodies, missionaries establish institutions for different motives and objectives. “The proprietors have their own focus and objectives that do not reflect the federal government’s interest.
