Flexibility in mathematical thinking. They possess various techniques for computations and problem-solving, and can apply and modify them for novel situations.
-
Passion for numbers and number relationships. They relish discovering and experimenting with numbers and have the self-assurance to be creative in their mathematical approach.
-
Ability to mentally calculate. They possess the ability to perform mathematical computations in their minds, where others might resort to using a pencil and paper.
-
Judgment in determining the reasonableness of answers. They have a habit of making rough estimates before computing the exact result.

OUR CORE BELIEFS
This website is built on the following fundamental principles:
-
Mathematics is for all. With consistent practice, anyone can cultivate a robust number sense and flexible mathematical thinking.
-
Success in mathematics is not determined by speed. That's why we don't include any timed assessments on our website. Our focus is to foster strong mathematical connections, not to measure performance against the clock.
-
Mathematics is a creative subject. Mental calculations are a form of creative expression. Our website provides strategies, but the ultimate goal is to empower students to find methods that resonate with their own thinking.
-
Mathematics is about comprehension, not rote memorization. Though memorization may occur in due time, it should stem from a strong foundation of understanding.
