Per a Face2Face Africa report, little Nyame completed multiplication when she was four. The recent practice was aimed to determine if she can recall her multiplication facts quickly.
''If she is slower with multiplication then I create lessons to go back and review that,'' said Dr Nyame, according to Face2Face Africa.
The Harvard-trained board-certified plastic surgeon, who specialises in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, is making an impact in Charlotte.
Despite his hectic work, Dr Nyame has been homeschooling his two kids for some time now. He believes in parent-directed education in the home.
Dr Nyame was born at Mpraeso in Ghana and immigrated to the US at the age of eight.
