What is all this hype about flash card memorisation and mental mathematical abilities? Does it really help? Does it affect the child's brain? Or is it all rubbish? I've heard my Aunty go on and on about this and how her grandson is insanely smart due to flash cards and at the same time I've heard that it's all nonsense. What' do you ladies think?

I think it can help to a certain extent in terms of memorization and mathematical abilities but definitely not the only way nor is it the best way. Personally, I'd prefer using educational toys, books and natural tools instead of those flashcards. Memorizing is all good and dandy but I want my kid to actually learn instead of just memorizing.
