Abacus

Abacus & mental arithmetic courses for children above 3 years

The abacus, also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool used primarily in parts of Asia for performing arithmetic processes. Today, abacus are often constructed as a bamboo frame with beads sliding on wires, but originally they were beans or stones moved in grooves in sand or on tablets of wood, stone, or metal. The abacus was in use centuries before the adoption of the written modern numeral system and is still widely used by merchants, traders and clerks in Asia, Africa, and elsewhere.

Why it is important?

• The Abacus, not just performs the function of a calculator but also trains and harnesses the potential of the human brain in the process.
• The Abacus when used over a period of time with practice becomes a mental calculator for children.
• Over a period of time the child becomes a specialist in numerical and arithmetical skills.
• The Abacus system of learning involves the harnessing of the left hemisphere of the brain that is logical and the right hemisphere of the brain that is intuitive.
• Gradually the Abacus tool is withdrawn and the child relies solely on calculating functions like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division mentally
