For your child, the abacus will become a genuine tool for success.
Why use an abacus?
Mathematics is an abstract concept; numerous studies have shown that children aged 9 and under often struggle to visualize concepts similar to arithmetic.
These difficulties can lead to many challenges, ranging from a simple distaste for math in mild cases to loss of confidence and even academic failure, even among the brightest children.
Using an abacus helps your child analyze calculations and develop mental models that will support them throughout their education and beyond, for life.
The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.
Children who use the abacus in their learning consistently achieve significantly higher IQ scores, even surpassing students taught with the latest or experimental educational theories.
The abacus benefits your child beyond mathematics.
Using the abacus enhances students' memory in two ways. First, the child no longer needs to memorize individual arithmetic problem solutions. Once the child understands how the abacus works, they will know how to solve any arithmetic problem. There is no need to remember steps or answers because it’s always the same process. The other way the abacus supports memory is by allowing children to clearly see how they arrived at the result. By understanding how calculations and numbers function, they can apply the same logic to other exercises. Once a student can solve a problem, they no longer need to hold the answers in short-term memory.
Children tend to memorize problems rather than develop methods to solve them, often resulting in rote learning without real understanding.
This issue is easily resolved by calculating with an abacus, as it encourages intuitive and effective assimilation of math concepts.
From preschool through higher education, the abacus gives children who use it a clear advantage.
