It takes a lot of time and practice to master mental arithmetic. Our program is created to make this learning enjoyable and fun for children.During this course students will be challenged to use their brain and have fun while learning about the math of various entertaining subjects such as interactive platforms, puzzles, games and more. They will also learn about famous recreational mathematicians. Curriculum written by PS 6 teachers. *Please complete the Registration Form here BEFORE registering.
