How can I understand 'good at doing'?

Hi.

I ran across such as below sentence,
"I wasn't good at doing sums in my head "

I'm not familiar with "at doing" format.
Can you explain how to understand the meaning and grammar?

Hi. The original phrase you should consider is "to be good at something," meaning that someone is able to do something well. I'm good at swimming.
