They are likely doing basic calculations using Chisanbop or something similar. There was a movement in the US in the mid to late 70s to teach kids this.

It never caught on.

They spend far too much time doing this type of stuff and it’s pretty pointless for their future. Have fun.

This is why one group innovates and creates. The others are so tied down in the weeds.

Neato.

I’d rather my kids have a balance of school, sports, and time with friends, with room to figure out what else they enjoy.
(if that’s picking on these nerds, I’m fine with it)

I hope your children become the best bullies they can be, and hopefully they can make someone feel worse about themselves.

Both my kids are smart, and they’re doing exceptionally well at a good school. They play sports, spend time with friends, and still have time for their own interests.

Sorry you and yours find that balance so hard to manage.

All for balance but you still think it’s ok to pick on nerds who chose to work on math?

AI beats the dream of all Tiger Moms by a light year and at light speed.

Focus on being good people, team mates and life stewards.

Simple really.

I remember seeing Chisanbop commercials back in the late 70’s.

It obviously doesn’t work as most of them just answer customer service lines for a living.

You can see with the naked eye the amount of ADHD in that room from the ISS. (Their collective spectrum is on the visible spectrum)

The smell probably gets there as well.

Mental abacus. And in America we have high school students that don’t know their basic 1-12 multiplication charts.

Trachtenberg speed math was developed a few years after Korean Chrisanbop. A concentration camp prisoner devised it to keep his mind sharp. An instruction book was slightly popular among the HS "smart kids" about 1960. The only practical use for it was to speed through tests. Pocket calculators ended any real utility shortly after then.

Curious thing about mind math is that the skill is poorly coordinated with general intelligence.

Chisanbop

That's some of my favorite eatin'! The egg and pickled/fermented vegetables and a healthy dose of that red sauce on top sets it off!
