Abacus
Children have an amazing ability to learn, but their vast brain potential is not always nurtured to the fullest extent. test
With the proper guidance and tools, children as young as 4 or 5 are capable of mastering mathematical skills and calculating ability that will yield benefits that last a lifetime.
Admission Enquiry
Concentration
Concentration improves as the child completes the entire process successfully and quickly.
Visualisation and Memory
Visualisation and memory improve as the child stops using the soroban and relies on a mental picture of the instrument.
Thinking
Thinking improves as the child counts the beads in their mental picture.
Confidence
Confidence, especially with numbers increases.
Fine Motor Skills
Fine Motor control expands when moving the beads.
Our brain has two hemispheres, the left brain and the right brain. About 95% of our children use only the left brain, which provides the ability to analyze information concerning languages and sound. But the right side of the brain, which is focused on thinking, creativity and integration of information, needs to be used and stimulated as well.
Learning to use the abacus can help develop this right brain/left brain integration.
When children use both hands to move abacus beads in arithmetic calculations, it stimulates cells in both the right and left sides of the brain. This results in quick, balanced whole brain development, leading to greater mental capacity.
