This may help in your efforts to keep dd8 from thinking she's not good at math.

It�s a widespread belief that to be good at math
means to be fast at computation. But this belief may
in fact do more harm as good. Some of the world�s
greatest thinkers, scientists, and mathematicians have
not been fast at arithmetic, even though they were
tremendously successful in working with higher-level
mathematics.
