Anand Mahindra Shares A Clever Maths Trick And SRK Is Very Impressed With It

Let’s face it. Even those of us who love maths have had major difficulty memorizing the multiplication tables. Back then, Vedic maths and Abacus weren’t as popular, and all we had was the gift of our memory, which, let’s face it, didn’t work well most of the times. However a clever multiplication trick is now going viral on Twitter. Indian businessman and CEO of Mahindra group, Anand Mahindra, shared a video of the trick with his 7.4 million followers on Twitter.

Anand Mahindra is quite active on social media and often shares inspiring, motivating videos, clips, pictures for his fans and followers. The clip shared by Anand Mahindra, soon went viral and has been viewed over 665k times and has received a slew of comments with users praising the teacher in the clip.

The 2-minute-20 second clip shared by Mahindra on his Twitter page showed a teacher in a classroom explaining her students the multiplication table of 9. The teacher was seen demonstrating how to multiply any number by 9 simply by counting on their fingers. The Mahindra group Chairman shared the video and called it “clever shortcut”. He even wished that if he had the same math teacher, he would have been ‘a lot better at the subject”.
