Number Sense! Despite how pointless those tests were, the whole experience was super fun!
- dylan604 3y agoHowdy fellow Texan! I still use some of the "tricks" learned to do that test. However, I struggled for a long time in my higher math classes for not having any work to show as I was just doing it in my head. It was finally solved when told that the AP exams gave partial credit based on the work shown. I also did the Calculator tests. It's why I learned to 10-key.
- arjvik 3y agoYou're right - I still use number-sense tricks for fast multiplication :) For Calculator, I wrote https://git.io/ti84rpn https://git.io/ti84rpn so that I could use the fast parenthesis-less Reverse Polish Notation without having to adapt to a whole new calculator keyboard.
