 26 – 50
• Calculate the difference from 50 (“x”)
• Subtract “x” from 25
• That’s the left part of the answer
• Write the square of “x” in 2 digits
• That’s the right part of the answer
 51 - 75
• Calculate the deviation from 50 (“x”)
• Add “x” to 25
• That’s the left part of the answer
• Write the square of “x” in 2 digits
• That’s the right part of the answer
 76 – 100
• Calculate the difference from 100 (“x”)
• Subtract “x” from the number
• That’s the left part of the answer
• Write the square of “x” in 2 digits
• That’s the right part of the answer
 101 - 125
• Calculate the deviation from 100 (“x”)
• Add “x” to the number
• That’s the left part of the answer
• Write the square of “x” in 2 digits
• That’s the right part of the answer
