I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

A recommended activity for preventing dementia in older adults is doing arithmetic problems.

By doing calculations, you train the brain’s cognitive functions, which can help prevent dementia.

In this article, we introduce arithmetic exercises that are great brain training for seniors.

We’ve compiled problems that support dementia prevention, including addition and subtraction, read-aloud calculation exercises, and quick-response calculation tasks.

Since calculation problems really make you use your brain, it’s important to take it slow and keep at it steadily without overexerting yourself.

Try incorporating arithmetic brain-training exercises that can help prevent dementia.

For dementia prevention! Brain-training arithmetic quiz for seniors (11–20)

Fill-in-the-blank numbers: “Please make the total ◯◯.”

Boar Fill-in-the-Number: A total of 10 brain-training puzzles where you calculate and place numbers in the boxes so the sum matches the specified number! An ideal adult arithmetic drill for dementia prevention.

Fill-in-the-blank numbers: “Please make the total ◯◯.”

Let me introduce a fill-in-the-numbers puzzle that’s fun, like logic rules.

There’s a 3-by-3 square grid, and the rule is to fill the blanks so that the sums of each row and column match the target numbers.

Start by practicing with smaller numbers.

Once you get used to it, try increasing the target numbers or using two-digit numbers in the cells.

It’s a bit complex, but there’s actually a trick: fill in one cell first, then figure out the rest.

Give it a try!

[Coin Counting] Brain Training #7: Instantly memorize and calculate how much change you have — a dementia-prevention video that boosts brain activity by strengthening working memory through dual-task exercises

small change calculation

Let me introduce a brain-training exercise that uses counting coins: the Coin Calculation game.

Coins will appear on the screen—memorize them within the time limit and calculate the total amount.

The double task of taking a quick look, memorizing, and then calculating greatly activates your brain.

Calculating and paying money are essential activities for living in society.

In fact, it has been reported that in the early stages of dementia, counting coins becomes difficult, leading people to rely more on bills.

If you’ve had fewer chances to shop in your daily life, please give this a try.

Calculation Quiz

[Verification] The theory that a quiz king who’s strong with numbers can guess what a nonsensical formula represents

Calculation Quiz

We would like to introduce a “calculation quiz” that cultivates logical thinking, memory, and arithmetic skills.

There are four problems in total; the answers to three are known.

The final problem provides a hint, and it’s a quiz where you deduce the answer by working through the calculations leading up to it.

Starting from the answer and working backward, you calculate which numbers fit into the parts marked with symbols such as circles and squares, and you need to remember the numbers used along the way.

Because it requires performing multiple activities simultaneously, it provides stimulating content for the brain.

There is also a time limit, so it’s important to proceed calmly without rushing.

Dice calculation problem

[Brain Training] Dice Calculation Problem: Let's calculate the opposite faces of a die! #6

Dice calculation problem

This is a calculation puzzle using dice faces.

A die has numbers from 1 to 6, so addition should be easy, right? However, in this puzzle, you add the numbers on the opposite faces of the visible dice.

On a standard die, each pair of opposite faces sums to 7.

The opposite of 1 is 6, and the opposite of 2 is 5.

So if the problem shows 1 + 6 on the dice, you add their opposite faces and the answer is 11.

There’s a bit of a trick to it, so it’s not straightforward and can be challenging at first, but once you get used to it, it may become surprisingly easy to solve!
