The way to make something 'intuitive' is to first understand it very very well. This allows you to internalize the details and mechanics well enough so that logical leaps are possible, allowing you to make valid simplifying assumptions AKA estimates that result in an easily or quickly arrived at correct answer or one that is at least 'correct enough'. I recall one calculus prof explaining that math is easy once you learn the tricks.

The problem with Common Core is they left out the most important part -- ie. learning the basics really well -- and skipped right to the assumptions part.

The problem with niggers is that they are too dumb to learn the basics, let alone learn them well.

To be clear I've known a couple really smart at math niggers. The key words being "a couple".
