What does it feel like to be naturally good at math and be able to do sums in head?

Just curious how it feels?

Do you actually work the sums out in your head OR do you just automatically see the answers in your head?

Im terrible at math. I can't even add up without using my fingers. I wish it could,

How does it feel?

"Being good at maths" and "doing sums in your head" are actually different concepts :smile:

Even good mathematicians aren't always good at mental arithmetic, but it can always be improved with practice and getting familiar with numbers. Practising times tables is a good place to start :smile:
