These adhd memes are made like horoscopes. They fit everybody.
I find this method is far faster for quick calculation of large numbers off hand. Or at least estimation. Choose a close round number you do know the maths for, then just add or subtract the relevant parts to get it to true.

this is NOT adhd! this is how many were taught at school, and also just sensible
Look I have adhd I’m quirky. Don’t use something people struggle with as a quirky trait.
But what if I wanna shitpost about my ADHD?
(don’t worry I know what you mean and yeah that post applies to everyone)
This is not unique to ADHD
Or: To get to 10 from 7, you need 3.6 - 3 = 3, and then 10 + 3 = 13
This is what my brain does and I don’t have ADHD.
I split 6 as 3+3 and I know that 7+3=10 add 3, now youve got 13.
speed math
Divide by 5? Oh you mean double it and shift the decimal
Good idea. I always look for the nearest dividable number
That’s just a normal shortcut for mental math. Break your problem into simpler problems then combine, in this case if one wants to know 7+6 this is being turned from 7+7=14, an easy problem to remember, into (7-1)+7=14-1=13.
That doesn’t feel exactly right as it’s not exactly the way you think about it, but words can’t describe such inferences of thought other than to call them what they are which is not exactly how one’s thoughts reflect them.
that’s literally how i did it before reading the rest. also i don’t have adhd
That how i do it and i don’t even have ADHD
i think about how the shape of 6 fits in 7 to make 13
7+6 = (5+5) + (2+1) = 10+3 = 13
