Speed Math Tricks by MTG: Calculate Faster, Score Higher (Classes 4–10)

Update on: 20 Feb 2026, 11:47 AM

Is Your Math Speed Holding You Back? Now, Calculate Faster and Smarter with MTG brand new “Speed Math Tricks” Upgrade.

“I knew the logic, but I ran out of time.”

“I made a silly mistake in the long calculation.”

Sound familiar, right?

It’s the most frustrating feeling in the world. You’ve studied hard, you know the formulas, and you’ve mastered the concepts, but as soon as the exam timer starts, the clock becomes a tougher opponent than the math itself. The truth is, most students aren’t struggling because they aren’t smart enough, but they’re using slow-motion methods in a high-speed, competitive world.

That is why MTG is launching “Speed Math Tricks” Live Courses for Classes 4 to 10 for

a cognitive edge to students. This course replaces brute force arithmetic with the high-speed patterns, mental shortcuts, and algorithmic thinking used by history’s greatest mathematicians and top achievers in Olympiad and JEE, along with all sorts of competitive exams. So, let’s know more about Speed Math tricks.


What Is Speed Math?

Instead of relying only on long-form traditional methods, students learn to simplify them by:

  • Recognising number patterns
  • Using place value intelligently
  • Simplifying complex calculations
  • Solving mentally with fewer steps
  • Improving speed without sacrificing accuracy

The goal is simple: train the brain to see numbers smartly instead of calculating them slowly just like the examples below:

1️: Square of Numbers Ending with 5

This works for any number ending with 5.

Example: 35²

Step 1: Take the number before 5 → 3
Step 2: Multiply it by the next number → 3 × 4 = 12
Step 3: Write 25 at the end

Answer = 1225

Why it works: When a number ends in 5, its square always ends in 25. Very useful in algebra and board exams.

2️: Multiply Any 2-Digit Number by 11

Example: 43 × 11

Step 1: Write 4 _ 3
Step 2: Add 4 + 3 = 7
Step 3: Put 7 in the middle

Answer = 473

If the sum is more than 9 (carry case):

Example: 87 × 11
8 + 7 = 15

Write 5 in the middle, carry 1 to 8

Answer = 957

Saves time in mental math and competitive exams.

3️: Multiply by 9 Quickly

Instead of long multiplication:

Multiply by 10 and subtract once.

Example: 47 × 9

47 × 10 = 470
470 − 47 = 423

Why this works:

Because 9 = 10 − 1

So:
Number × 9 = Number × (10 − 1)

Fast and reduces mistakes.

4️: Square Numbers Near 100

Very helpful for Classes 8–10.

Example: 98²

98 is 2 less than 100

Step 1: 98 − 2 = 96
Step 2: 2² = 4
Answer = 9604

Another Example: 103²

103 is 3 more than 100

Step 1: 103 + 3 = 106
Step 2: 3² = 9
Answer = 10609


Why Is Speed Math Important in 2026?

The academic world has changed. Exams today are designed to test not only knowledge but also time management and decision-making under pressure.

Consider this: if a student takes 60 seconds to solve one calculation using traditional methods, but a trained student solves it in 10 seconds, the difference across a 50-question paper becomes massive. That time saved can be used to:

  • Attempt additional questions
  • Recheck answers
  • Reduce negative marking
  • Stay calm throughout the exam

In competitive exams, even a small-time advantage can significantly impact rankings. Speed Math provides students with that competitive edge.


The Common Problem Most Students Face

Many students say, “I knew the answer, but I didn’t get time.” This is not a lack of intelligence. It is a lack of calculation efficiency.

Slow calculations create stress. Stress leads to mistakes. Mistakes reduce confidence. Over time, students begin to fear math not because they don’t understand it, but because it feels overwhelming.

Speed Math breaks this cycle by reducing the number of steps required to reach an answer. Fewer steps mean fewer chances of errors and greater confidence.

Final Thought: Why Acting Early Matters

Speed is easiest to develop when foundational number skills are still forming. The earlier students train their minds to calculate efficiently, the more natural it becomes. Waiting until higher classes often makes it harder to change habits formed through slower methods. By starting now, students gain a long-term advantage that lasts through school and beyond.
