Why five seconds is enough.

Indian-style mental math is not a shortcut. You split the place values, find a symmetry, and rewrite the expression as something simpler. The long form disappears.

Worked example: 37 × 43

  1. 01

    37 × 43

    Long multiplication takes four lines.

  2. 02

    = (40 − 3)(40 + 3)

    Average is 40, the gap is 3.

  3. 03

    = 40² − 3²

    Sum × difference is a difference of squares.

  4. 04

    = 1600 − 9

    Squares are well within recall.

  5. 05

    = 1591

    Done. Four seconds.

Each of the thirteen methods spots a different symmetry.

Curriculum

Thirteen ways of seeing.

Each method is the shortest path through one specific pattern. You don't memorise it — you learn to see it.

  1. 01 / Level26 × 11 = 286

    Level 1

    ab × 11

    Multiplying by 11

  2. 02 / Level35 × 75 = 2625

    Level 2

    (ab) × (cb), a+c=10

    Same ones, tens sum to 10

  3. 03 / Level43 × 47 = 2021

    Level 3

    (ab) × (ac), b+c=10

    Same tens, ones sum to 10

  4. 04 / Level13 × 14 = 182

    Level 4

    (1a) × (1b)

    Both numbers in 11–19

  5. 05 / Level37 × 43 = 1591

    Level 5

    (N − d)(N + d)

    Average is a round number

  6. 06 / Level97 × 96 = 9312

    Level 6

    Numbers near 100

    Both numbers in the 90s

  7. 07 / Master37 × 6 = 222

    Master 1

    2-digit × 1-digit

    2-digit × 1-digit

  8. 08 / Master24 × 35 = 840

    Master 2

    even × ones-is-5

    Even 2-digit × ones-is-5

  9. 09 / Master35 × 75 = 2625

    Master 3

    (a5) × (b5)

    Both end in 5

  10. 10 / Master68 × 25 = 1700

    Master 4

    even × 25 / 75

    Even 2-digit × 25 / 75

  11. 11 / Master31 × 41 = 1271

    Master 5

    (a1) × (b1)

    Both end in 1

  12. 12 / Master34 × 37 = 1258

    Master 6

    (ab) × (ac), same tens

    Same tens digit

  13. 13 / Master47 × 58 = 2726

    Master 7

    Vertical & crosswise

    General 2-digit × 2-digit

Frequently asked

What you might be wondering.

  • 01Is it really one-time?

    Yes. ¥350 unlocks all thirteen methods and all thirteen ranks. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases.

  • 02Is it suitable for children?

    Yes, from upper elementary age. The expressions are number-led, designed to work with a parent alongside.

  • 03Does it work offline?

    Yes. The app holds no network permission. All progress and best times stay on the device.

  • 04Are there ads?

    No. No ad SDK is included.

  • 05Do I need an account?

    No. There is no account system, no cloud sync. History does not transfer between devices.

  • 06Which languages are supported?

    Japanese, English, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), French, and Spanish. The app follows your OS language.

  • 07Why five seconds per question?

    Five seconds is a sane upper bound for the three steps of mental math: read, see the pattern, build the answer aloud. Beyond that, you're doing long multiplication.
