Abacus

Abacus is more than a counting and calculating tool, it’s one of the most  powerful ways to train the brain. Our Abacus classes introduce children to mental arithmetic through visual thinking, helping them calculate quickly and accurately without relying on calculators or fingers. Our Abacus classes help children to enhance their skills of listening, concentrating, understanding, visualising, reasoning, logical thinking, analysing and applying. These leads do the mental arithmetic calculations quickly and accurately without relying on calculators or fingers. By using the Abacus, children learn to visualize numbers as bead movements, which stimulates both sides of the brain and strengthens memory, focus and concentration.

Through fun and interactive sessions, students:

  • Build strong foundations in number sense and arithmetic
  • Improve memory, concentration, and listening skills
  • Develop fast and accurate mental calculation abilities
  • Gain confidence in school maths and everyday problem-solving

All these skills and techniques will be carried over for life time and not just during the programme

Benefits of the Abacus

W

Improved concentration

Using the abacus requires high focus and concentration which can also improve your child’s ability to focus on tasks for a long period.

W

Build Confidence

When your child masters new skills and concepts in the abacus, they become more confident in their learning and problem-solving abilities. Confidence also improves their decision-making skills.

W

Enhanced memory

Regular use of the abacus activates and stimulates the brain which in turn boosts the memory power and recalling abilities in children.

Research Backed up Data

  • Improved Working Memory

Abacus-trained children scored higher on working memory tasks compared to non-trained peers. (Source: Wang et al., 2015 – Cognitive Development Journal) 

  • Enhanced Arithmetic Skills

Children trained in mental abacus computation showed significantly faster and more accurate arithmetic skills. (Source: Stigler, 1984 – Cognition and Instruction)

  • Boost in Visual-Spatial Processing

Abacus learners had enhanced visual-spatial representation and processing ability, even in non-math contexts. (Source: Tanaka et al., 2002 – Child Neuropsychology)

  • Superior Concentration & Focus

MRI scans showed increased activation in the prefrontal cortex (attention control) in abacus-trained students. (Source: Hanakawa et al., 2003 – NeuroImage Journal)

  • Greater Numerical Sense and Mental Flexibility

Children trained in Abacus showed better understanding of numerical magnitude and mental calculation flexibility. (Source: Barner et al., 2007 – Developmental Psychology)
