This 6-year-old kid had quite the gift!

Nathan Katcher is in 1st grade and knows his math. He starts his interview on the Jennifer Hudson show talking about how he started doing math when he was 3.5 years old. He started counting buses, up to 500. Talk about impressive! 

Jennifer then asks his mom Rachel about when she noticed his interest in math. Beyond the counting buses, she says that during preschool, he wouldn’t take naps during the rest time but instead would count to high numbers, and translate them into minutes. “He would come home and say, well, today I counted to 1,265 so that was 22 minutes,” she said. 

Jennifer asks Nathan to do some math problems right there on the show.

Nathan starts by answering what 45 x 2 is, 45 x 3 is, and so on. He then goes on to answer a difficult math problem that Jennifer gives him and does so pretty quickly. His mom then gives him an even more complex math problem, including square roots. What a smart little boy!

Nathan has gone viral on social media and is known as “Nathan the Number Kid” and seems to be wowing everyone around him. If he is this good at math as a first grader, imagine how far he can go in the future. He has quite the talent, or “superpower” as Jennifer Hudson says on her show.

While we are not all math whizzes, we all have a talent to share with the world. God made each of us in our unique way. Don’t be afraid to share what you have with the world. Others can truly benefit from it.
