It is really the same thing. One is a more mechanical, the other makes you think in ones and tens, and eventual hundreds and thousandths.

Anyway I recommend trying different things, such as the Grapes of Math set of books by Greg Tang.

I also forgot to say that the longer method is probably better for people with learning difficulties - they have a better chance of getting the correct answer because it is more methodical.

Now that you realize it you will probably have problems with them.
I am surprised your government hasnt gone metric so its easier for all the numnuts. The main reason for base ten is because we can count on our fingers.
Flip-flops were a source of great pride for me because when I needed to count with my fingers and my toes I knew I had made it.

The casinos won't let me in when I am wearing my flip-flops cause they know I can beat the house with all of that computational power.
