Brain gym for the mind
If you were told to solve 4325x235 or 7354/2345, you would surely head for a calculator or a pen and paper to solve it. But if you were told to solve these sums without the help of any external aids, you’d say it is a very difficult job. But can you imagine that these sums were solved by an eight-year-old in just eight seconds without any external aids?
Aloha mental arithmetic, a brain development programme based on mental arithmetic system, helps you do just that.
