    All the time. Also, I was taught by a math tutor in middle school to place invisible dots on each number and count the dots... like 3 has a "dot" at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom. 6 has the same but you go back up and count the dots a second time. This make not make a lot of sense but once you learn it, it's very helpful, especially if you're not very good at math.
