Number Talks This strategy can make add a lot easier for kids. It might not be the perfect way to add but it can help kids to understand the concept on a basic level. For example, if the question is 5+5. So simply you count to 5, then to add next 5, you count the next 5 numbers, that is 6,7,8,9,10. This gives you an answer of 10 so 5+5=10. This trick can make addition or subtraction very easy for kids. 3.

You can make a song or anything in math, just add some words that rhyme with each other and that will help you remember all the steps that you need to perform in a question. As you sing the song you will complete the steps. So, these were some mental math strategies that you can use with kids to make their math stronger.
