Human Calculator

This Term we are focusing on multiplication/division and fractions. We are learning to answer our basic facts within 4 seconds. If you think answering basic multiplication/division facts in 4 seconds is fast you should check out the video link below of Scott Flansburg.
"It is mind blowing how fast he can add, subtract, multiply, and divide.Crunching numbers has even got him into the Guiness Book of World Records.
He came up with 35 answers in 15 seconds solving equations faster than someone can tap them into a calculator." Close Up - TVNZ

Remember to keep practising those multiplication and division facts at home, ask your parents, grandparents or friends to help test you or you could even try testing them.
