Why an abacus?
Mathematics is an abstract concept; science has repeatedly shown that children under 9 struggle to visualize abstract ideas like arithmetic.
These difficulties can lead to various issues ranging from aversion to math in mild cases to loss of confidence and even academic failure, even among the brightest children.
Using an abacus encourages your child to visualize calculations and build mental frameworks that will support them throughout their education and beyond.
The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.
Children who use the abacus during their learning consistently score higher on IQ tests than their peers, surpassing even those taught with the most modern and experimental learning methods.
The abacus benefits children beyond mathematics.
Using the abacus supports students’ memory capabilities in several ways. First, students no longer need to memorize answers to math exercises. Once they have learned the abacus, they know how to solve all types of math problems. They don’t need to memorize solutions or steps, because the process is always the same. Second, the abacus helps reinforce memory by allowing students to see concretely how they arrived at an answer. By understanding how calculations and numbers work, they can visualize how other problems function. Once a student can solve a problem, they no longer need to keep the solution steps in short-term memory.
Students tend to memorize individual problems rather than developing problem-solving methods, leading to rote learning that often goes unnoticed.
This bad habit is easily corrected by using an abacus, as it promotes intuitive understanding of mathematics.
From first grade through high school graduation, the abacus offers a guaranteed benefit for any child who uses it.
