The way I learned in school is put them on top of each other and add from right to left

27

48

add 7+8=15, put 5 on the right hand side and carry the one to the next column so you get

1

2

4

add 1+2+4=7 so it ends up with 75

EDIT: WHY ARE THE NUMBERS SO HUGE WHEN I SEE IT ON MY DASH?!!

27 + 48

So I do this in a really dumb way, but it works for me

Step 1: Panic a little internally as you try to remember how to math

Step 2: 20 + 40 = 60

Step 3: 60 + 8 = 68

Step 4: 68+ 2 = 70

Step 5: 70 + 5= 75

I KNOW IT’S WIERD, BUT IT’S HOW I DO IT

It very well could be my ADHD…

I think the second way is so smart and logical I have never thought math that way. My way is similar to first, but if 8+8=16 so 8+7=15 and then is just the same way.

I never thought that anyone would describe my way of math as smart and logical. I've always thought it was weird and stupid, so this actually made my day.
