Have you ever encountered an individual or come across a video where someone possesses an uncanny ability to effortlessly perform complex mental calculations? In certain cases, they may indeed possess exceptional intelligence, but more often, their proficiency stems from having acquired mental math techniques that simplify the calculation of certain mathematical problems. Our objective is to equip our Math & Science Team students with this remarkable skill, enabling them to enhance their competitiveness in the State competition. (Update 7th Place in State!)
