You did essentially the exact same thing in a different order.

(100+1)÷2 × 100

(100+1)x100 ÷ 2

The neat thing about math is that you can generally find several different paths to the same solution, and go with whichever is most intuitive to you.

It's simply just breaking down a problem into clear, definable pieces, then finding the right tool to solve each piece in sequence. The hard part is learning all the tools you need and matching them with the right problems, but that just comes with time and practice.

I notice a lot of people get intimidated and freeze up. I've done quite a bit of tutoring, and for three most part one I can get someone to calm down and focus on little steps, suddenly everything makes more sense.
