What to train

Use decomposition, compensation, and estimation.

Specific practice transfers most strongly to similar tasks; broad-transfer claims need caution.

Exercises

Increase difficulty only when accuracy is stable.

  • Add 9 as +10−1.
  • Multiply by 5 as half ×10.
  • Treat 25% as one quarter.
  • Estimate before calculating.

Sustainable routine

Use brief regular sessions, adequate sleep, movement, and recovery.

Track accuracy and difficulty rather than expecting a guaranteed IQ increase.
