👉 Shall math, also known as Shallah or Shallah Math, is a unique and informal mathematical approach that originated in the Middle East, particularly among students learning Arabic script. It simplifies arithmetic operations by using a base-10 system with a twist: numbers are represented using a combination of digits and symbols that visually indicate place value, making it easier to perform calculations without traditional symbols like +, -, ×, and ÷. For example, the number 123 can be written as "1, 2, 3" with a dot above the second 2 to denote it's in the tens place, and a line above the third 3 for the ones place. This visual representation allows for quick mental calculations and a deeper understanding of number relationships, though it can be less precise for complex operations compared to conventional math.
