Why use an abacus?
Arithmetic is an abstract concept; numerous scientific studies have shown that children under 9 often struggle to understand abstract ideas like arithmetic.
These difficulties can lead to a growing aversion to math that starts even with simple tasks, potentially causing a loss of confidence and school failures—even among the most intelligent children.
Working with an abacus encourages your child to visualize numbers and develop mental structures that will support their learning throughout school and well beyond.
The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.
Children who use the abacus during their education typically score higher on IQ tests, outperforming even those taught with the most advanced educational methods.
The abacus benefits children beyond mathematics.
Using an abacus helps students improve memory in two ways. First, children no longer need to memorize answers to math problems. Once a student has learned the abacus, they know how to find the solution to any math problem. They don’t need to remember formulas or calculation steps because the process remains the same. Second, the abacus reduces memory strain by allowing students to clearly see how they reached their answer. By understanding how problems and numbers work, they grasp new calculations more easily. Once a student knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to hold answers in short-term memory.
Many students tend to memorize exercises rather than develop problem-solving skills, resulting in rote learning without true understanding, which is often not obvious.
This issue is easily solved by using an abacus, as it fosters an intuitive grasp of arithmetic.
From kindergarten through middle school and beyond, the abacus builds lasting value for every student who uses it.
