Mental arithmetic is a skill that can be cultivated initially by adopting the pen or bead. In the pen method we use pen and paper to perform the calculation. In the bead method we use an imaginary abacus in our minds to calculate and arrive at the answer. We can use the bead method to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The different methods of calculation can be divided into: • Dictation:This is also called "Mental arithmetic calculation through listening’ to the sum/problem ". Someone will read aloud the numbers and the listener will perform the calculation. • Observation: The person will use the numbers that he sees and imagines the numbers to be the beads on an abacus. He will use this imaginary abacus to perform the calculation. • Silent Dication: The person will dictate the number to himself silently and use an imaginary abacus to perform the calculation .
