What is an Abacus?
Abacus is a simple tool or a hardware used for performing rapid arithmetic calculations. Calculations based on abacus was invented at ancient times and now widely used a brain development programme. It consists of a rectangular frame holding a number of vertically arranged rods, on which beads slides up and down.
Why Abacus?
The primary objective of the Abacus programme is to enhance the brain power upgrading the brain skills of the children. Higher academic performance not only in arithmetic but also in all subjectsThe main benefits acquired on account of the use of Abacus are:
It removes the fear of mathematics by making the arithmetic calculations easier.
Abacus education, not only improves the mathematics and creates interest in mathematics, but it also helps to improve overall academic skill and helps to tackle the day-to-day challenges and boosts confidence problem-solving capacity.
It enables spatial ability which is applied in areas such as Science, Architecture, Engineering, etc.
Research by eminent physicians have further established that the left hemisphere of the Brain, referred to as the digital brain, provides analytical information and controls reading, writing, calculation, logical thinking, etc. and the right hemisphere, referred to as the analog brain, controls three-dimensional sense, creativity, and artistic senses. Science has proved that continuous use of abacus can develop the unused right-side of the brain which contributes to the whole brain development of individuals.
Abacus Education helps dyslexic children, who lack proficiency in reading, spelling, and writing improve their numerical skills as these children sense by touching. All these stand and support as to why the use of Abacus is a must.
It harnesses the natural potential in a child.
It allows children to understand numbers and place value concepts easily.
It enables the child to acquire the skills of concentration, listening, speed, accuracy imagination, innovation, creativity, comprehension photographic memory.
Advantages of Abacus learning
Whole Brain Development Programme.
Greater mental capacity.
Younger children easily learn numbers with fun.
Mathematical skills lay a secure foundation for higher classes.
Abacus education improves the skills of Visualization (photographic memory), Concentration, Listening Skills, Memory, Speed, Accuracy, Creativity, Self Confidence, Self-Reliance resulting in Whole Brain Development.
Abacus based Arithmetic functions, calculations thereof enhance Concentration levels.
Calculations were done with Abacus, using the fingers of both the hands stimulate the brain – both the Right and Left Brain.
One of the most popular calculating method from ancient times.
Children do fast calculations in mind by visualizing Abacus bead movements.
Researches proves that Abacus learners uses both sides of the brain- left hemisphere & right hemisphere.
Highly effective in improving the concentration level of children.
What is Mental Arithmetic ?
‘Mental Arithmetic’ is a term used in Abacus for the calculations done in mind.
Even large numbers can be calculated in mind, that too within seconds
‘Mental arithmetic’ improves student’s imagination skills
Effective in cracking competitive time based tests.
Mind calculation enhances the concentration level of child.
