The issue with this comparison is... that the person on the right doesn't know how to use a numberpad without looking, thus he spends allot of time looking back and forth.
This technique might be somewhat effective but you try and exagerate it too much by making the man go 1/4 speed while the girl is moving as fast as she possibly can
@MrKyRow actually this is the fastest know method of doing math. The japanese method is incredibly fast. search for and watch this video. Watch this video and see if you can solve the match problems with a calculator nearly as fast as the little girl does.

maths is very simple. it's all patterns, and if these kids are using a pattern to determine the answers much more quicker than other parts of the world in their minds, then good for them. i wonder if they also have patterns for such maths as alegbra, and so on.
very impressed with this form of calculations though.
Thank you for your comment. MathSecret's objective is to lower children's fear of math. By converting numbers into graphical symbols, it allows brain to "interpret" math with ease, this includes math such as Algebra, Calculus, and beyond. Ripple effects of MathSecret learning can benefit children in other subjects as well.

@Mathsecret yeah It would suck to be known as the 23 year old who lost to a 9 year old at math. Regardless of the fact that there is no way to compete with the japanese style of math taught by mathsecret.

you all have to look deeper than background in race... The reason younger asian children seem to be crazy good at math is because they use their brains more than western culture. Westerners look at math with a calculator... which has taught westerners to be lazy with their math... or mental math moreover
I agree with you 100%. In the U.S. people are very used to calculators. When I took calculus in College, one professor didn't allow the use of calculators and so many struggled with simple math. Calculators aren't good, making the brain work pays with dividend in the end.
It's not because they're Asian that makes them smart. A person of Asian decent raised in America would think and act like an American unless raised by an Asian. It's not the genetics as much as it it the culture.
asians are like math prodiges... and if you say thats racist... its really not, its true.... no offense to anyone, not trying to hurt feelings, but its true.... but i am in advanced math, and i could probably do like 3 before i lost... :'(
IT depends on where you go. If you go in the Heart of London or the metropolis, then it might be flaky. But if you go in Oxford country, then you will most likely have spot on education.
fair enough......yeah ur right..sorry its just that australias school system is based on the uk...but things have changed over there since? i hope so for the better...its not bad but it could be better over here
Well I think every year our school system has had new things added, I'm at Uni now, but I went to a maths and computer collage and it was really good.
I guess all education systems are a little old though, they kind of have to be.

The maths ability of the kids is very strong / fast and the right adult typing skills is too weak.
It would be much more meaningful if you can show a demonstration with a world-class numeric pad typist.

the guy using the calculator is freaking slow. you still need to practise men. just like abacus they started practising it since they were young.

cool

Not all asians. My wife used to have a good level in abacus but now she has lost it and couldn't definitly at that time use an abacus in her mind.
Abacus to reach this level need years of pratice.
