An eight-year-old Indian-origin schoolgirl has entered the UK's Mathletics Hall of Fame, NDTV reports.
The Hall of Fame is an online mathematics-based competitive tool aimed at primary school pupils where Sohini Roy Chowdhury competed with pupils from across Britain and other countries to make it into the top 100 World Hall of Fame after solving mathematical puzzles with speed and accuracy.
Mathletics is described as an engaging, supportive online learning resource targeted at primary school level maths curriculum, allowing children to play live mental arithmetic games against other children from all over the world.
Their scores are constantly updated and only the world's 100 best make it to the leader-board.
New Delhi-born Sohini who is a student of Nelson Primary School in Birmingham joined the competition this year.
Her school teacher told PTI, "Sohini has displayed some higher-level understanding of the maths covered this year. She applies herself to all her learning and this has been reflected in her attainment this year."
The little girl has made her parents proud who believe she inherited her ‘math genes’ from her great grandfather DN Roy who was a qualified locomotive engineer from Scotland and worked with Indian railways.
"She feels really excited to solve maths in an online learning environment to earn a place on the live World Hall of Fame," said her father Mainak Roy Chowdhury, an accountant by profession with an MBA in finance.
Sohini aspires to be a doctor one day.
