Can you imagine having the perfect mind for math? A mind that could solve a math problem without writing it down. A mind that wouldn’t forget a math definition while taking a test.

The no calculator rule wasn’t my favorite, but it actually was a blessing in disguise, I learned how to do problems using my paper, pencil and math notes
