FASTER ADDITION.

FASTER ADDITION.

Addition is often faster in two steps instead of one.

For example,
487 + 38 = (487 + 13) + (38 - 13) = 500 + 25 = 525.
A generic advice might be given as "First add what's easy, next whatever remains". Another example:

1049 + 187 = 1100 + (187 - 51) = 1200 + 36 = 1236.
