Meeting Ice Breakers
Some more fun with numbers
Meeting ice breakers are meant to have some fun and loosening up the group. This particular ice breaker is having some fun multiplying numbers - specifically identical numbers that end in five.Such as; 15 X 15 = 25 X 25 = 35 X 35 = 45 X 45 = 55 X 55 = 65 X 65 = 75 X 75 = 85 X 85 = 95 X 95 = The trick with these numbers is that you can do them in your head without memorizing them. All of these problems multiplied out will end with 25 as the final two numbers of the answer.

You just have to take one of them like 75 x 75 and remove the end 5's from them. That leaves you with two number 7's. Add one to one of the 7's which would be 8 - and leave the other 7 alone. You then have the numbers 7 and 8. Just multiply these two numbers together and put the 25 on the end. So 7 times 8 equals 56 - placing the 25 on the end leaves you with 5625. You have to be creative when using this ice breaker - waiting for just the right type of group. I can see you breaking out your calculator now checking my answer. Well save yourself some time and just trust me - this works. You should be able to do this in your head faster than someone can do it on their calculator. If your not that good at basic math - don't use this meeting ice breaker. So as an example - challenge someone in the audience to be faster than you with a calculator. Let's try one more - 45 x 45. So 4 plus 1 equals 5 - then multiply 4 times 5 giving you 20 and add the 25 at the end and you have 2025. Good luck with this ice breaker. Thank you and may God Bless you!
