Multiply in Your Head

It comes without saying that never before in our culture have we relied so much on automated means to solve everyday problems, but the issue is that we have become so dependable that we tend to lose basic dexterity, such as that needed to do elementary math.

Fortunately, technology comes once again to the rescue and provides you with a solution, with applications such as Multiply in Your Head being designed to put your math skills to the test and compensate for your laziness.

First of all, let’s take a look at the program’s capabilities. What Multiply in Your Head is able to do is quite simple, as is its user interface, which makes everything quite transparent. The program’s core purpose is to assess your math skills, more precisely, how quick you are at multiplying numbers.

There are six available difficulty modes that you can choose from, namely “Easy,” “Moderate,” “Hard,” “Very Hard,” “Extreme,” and “Impossible.” Starting a new session is as easy as clicking the dedicated button, which automatically starts a timer that keeps track of your progress.

Once an equation is displayed, you can choose to either type in your result or skip the current calculation. Since your speed is quite important, and you wouldn’t want to lose points just because of being interrupted by someone, the program lets you pause the session for an accurate assessment.

What is nice about this math companion is that it allows you to change the difficulty level during the same session, so your challenges are varied, which, of course, adds to the quiz’s dynamism.

As for your score, you constantly get to know the total number of mental calculations you made, your accuracy rate, as well as your average response time. You can thus consider your performance over time, and by constantly practicing your math skills, you can get better results.

However, it would have been great if the program offered some tips on how to make calculations faster by introducing you to some multiplication algorithms, for instance.

Multiply in Your Head is an easy-to-use and responsive utility that enables you to challenge yourself by having a new approach to math. This is why we must say that it is a great tool for students.
