Madam Mayor Jeannette McCarthy recognized outstanding ALOHA Mind Math kids during a recognition party at the Waltham Center (
www.aloha-usa.com/centers/waltham)
on Sunday October 16. She presented trophies to those kids that
excelled in a demonstration of their progress in the ALOHA program.
These kids completed 50 problems each with 4 to 6 numbers in record time
ranging from 4 minutes to 17 minutes using mind math and/or abacus. The
50 problems would normally take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to
solve. Besides the trophies, Mayor presented a medal and certificate to
all kids that completed a ALOHA level during the past quarter. Finally,
she also welcomed new kids to the center and spoke about the value of
Math encouraging all kids to continue to improve/master their math
skills.
The motivational and fun-filled recognition party was organized and
hosted by the owner and teacher of the Waltham ALOHA Mind Math program,
Gnanesh Dholakia (
