Old-School Math for Seniors: 1,700+ Large Print Mental Math Exercises with Full Answers - Addition, Percentages, Word Problems and Telling Time, No Ca (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798174542112)

Do you remember when we figured everything in our heads - at the store, at the diner, doing the books - without ever reaching for a calculator? This book is an invitation to enjoy that again: the arithmetic we all learned in school, from the simplest to the cleverest.

It is meant to be a real pleasure, not a test. Here, no one is grading you and nothing is rushing you. The exercises are printed in extra-large type, sorted into three levels - Easy, Medium and Hard - so you can go at your own pace, pencil in hand.

Inside, everything we used to do "in our heads" at school:

• The times tables, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

• Percentages, fractions and proportions (the good old cross-multiply)

• The classic word problems: two trains meeting, cost and profit

• Everyday time problems - hours, minutes and "what time does it end?"

• And a grand finale: "The Eighth-Grade Final"

What you'll enjoy:

• Over 1,700 exercises, from the simplest to the cleverest

• Extra-large print, easy on the eyes

• All answers included at the back of the book

• No screens, no calculator - just a pencil and a little memory

• A space to keep score on every page, for those who like a challenge

• A perfect gift, for yourself or a loved one

A little mental math each day is a fine way to keep the mind sharp and enjoy a quiet moment to yourself, away from screens. A simple pleasure, to savor page after page.
