Nothing is more important. In today’s increasingly complex and technological world the most important thing you can do for your child is to nurture mathability. It is an attitude. Those who say that their child is poor at maths’ are doing themselves an injustice. They are undermining the child’s future.

Mathability is a skill that teaches a child how to think. Mathability is a skill that develops the inherent intelligence potential. It enhances problem solving abilities and analytical focus. The methods and the techniques are just as suitable for adults as for children. Indeed, many of the methods have altered the mindset even of senior executives and housewives.

To something that is often subjected to complexity, confusion, and prejudices, Shakuntala Devi brings clarity, simplicity, and practicality. She corrects many of the generally held misconceptions and effectively demonstrates how mathability is an acquired skill.

Nurture Mathability. Nurture Success.
