A simple game for developing rapid-fire thinking and processing skills is accelerated mathematic processing. This is a game that you play with a partner or even a group. It involves mentally completing mathematical equations of varying levels of difficulty as fast as possible.
You will need a stopwatch, a pen and a bunch of small bits of paper.
With a partner or group designate one person as the task master. This person will create mathematical problems and work out the answers in advance. The number of problems will be pre-determined.
One person is in at a time. The task master flips a piece of paper with an equation on it and the person who is in has to work it out as fast as possible and then on to the next equation. The task master will be timing with a stopwatch. The person to complete the designated number of problems in the shortest time wins.
It’s a simple game but accelerated mathematic processing is a great way to develop cognitive processing speed that improves each time it is trained. This is especially effective for kids in school and can be a fun way to help them process and understand mathematics more efficiently.
