I can do fairly complex calculations in my head and that is exactly the method I've used all my life. I'm glad to see it's been formalized.

yeah i have done the same. a lot of CC seems to teach my own shortcuts in math

note: when i'd have to go explain how i did problems and i used my own method, i would just confuse students and the teacher wouldn't ask me to do it again (nerd fistbump to myself)

I had the same math teacher from 8th grade until my senior year in HS. (Small school, only one teacher to teach the smart kids math) After about a year he stopped asking me how I got my answer because my reply was always "I don't know, I just did."

I could see the right answer but couldn't coherently write out the work or explain how I got it.
