Benefits of Abacus

Children naturally have vast potential of

energy and brain power. But most parentsdo not know how to tap into the depths of these young minds in the right way andthus fail to realize and nurture theseyoung minds to their fullest potential.

Functions of Brain

Our brain has two hemispheres, theLEFT brain and the RIGHT brain.

About 95% of our children use only theLEFT brain. They fail to use the RIGHT brain which is the seat and origin of intelligence.

LEFT Brain - Analyzing Information,Concerning Languages & Sound.RIGHT Brain - IntegratingInformation, Thinking & Creativity.

The Left and Right brains have their own

specialized powers and functions. Our task is to activate BOTH parts of the brainsimultaneously. By using BOTH the partsof brain, students can more fully realizetheir great potential. But... how can wemotivate BOTH parts of the n at a time?

Learning abacus can accomplish this goal

We offer training using the JapaneseSoroban abacus, which is has one upper row of beads and four lower rows. Wehave found the Soroban abacus

particularly effective for teachingmathematical calculating skills to youngchildren.

Using an abacus, a child can do allarithmetic calculations up to 10 digits andmaster the skill of doing it mentally,without relying on modern devices such

as calculators.

There are procedures and trainingmethodologies to master abacus use

When children use hands to move the beads for small and large arithmeticcalculations, the quick communication

between hands and brain stimulates braincells, promoting quick, balanced andwhole brain development.

Using the abacus also:

Fosters a greater sense of numbers.Helps develop an intuitiveunderstanding of numbers throughtheir concrete representation.Fosters one's trust in the process of calculation by enabling one toobserve it in action.Manifests the concept of decimal

places and the progression of units by tens physically.

When children use hands to move the beads in small and large arithmeticcalculations, there is quick communication between the hands andthe brain that stimulates both the right andleft hemispheres of the brain. Thispromotes rapid, balanced whole braindevelopment.

Educators maintain that the abacus helpschildren develop powers of mental

calculation. It enables children to:

Understand the base-ten number system and place values,Understand concepts of carryingand borrowing in arithmetic, andVisualize close relations betweennumbers and numerals.

The abacus is an excellent substitute for rote memorization of multiplicationtables. Abacus calculation relies on themanipulation of beads rather than use of traditional arithmetic. It teaches childrento visualize numbers and their relationships and placement values.

Many schools in Asia, where abacusinstruction is widely popular for teachingmental math/arithmetic, introduce theabacus between kindergarten and 7thgrade. If a child starts learning the abacus

before being taught traditional arithmetic,there is minimal conflict and

The child will easily work within bothsystems. If a child starts the programlater, having already received traditionalfoundations, there may be a slightlyextended learning period for the child toaccept and integrate the abacus method.

Educators in Asia say abacus skills are akey reason children in these countriesconsistently win top rankings ininternational math comparisons.
