Why choose an abacus?
Arithmetic is an abstract concept for children; numerous studies have shown that students aged 9 and under often struggle to visualize abstract ideas like those found in math.
These difficulties can lead to a growing dislike of mathematics in mild cases; and may cause a loss of confidence or academic struggles, even among the most capable students.
Using an abacus encourages your child to visualize calculations and build mental models that will support them throughout their schooling and beyond into higher education.
The abacus: an ancient tool that remains relevant today.
Children who use an abacus during their education typically score better on IQ tests than their peers, outperforming students who learn through even the most modern, experimental learning theories.
The abacus helps children beyond mathematics.
Using an abacus enhances children’s memory in two ways. First, the child no longer needs to memorize individual solutions to arithmetic problems. Once they have learned the abacus, they will know how to find the answer to any arithmetic problem. They won’t need to remember solutions or calculation steps because the method remains consistent. The second way the abacus aids memory is by allowing children to clearly visualize how they arrive at the answer. By understanding how calculations and numbers work, they can visualize the processes behind different exercises. Once a student knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to hold the solution steps in their short-term memory.
Children tend to memorize exercises rather than develop problem-solving methods, leading to rote learning that is not always easy to detect.
This issue is easily resolved with an abacus, which provides an intuitive and effective understanding of arithmetic.
From first grade through middle school and beyond, the abacus offers clear benefits for students who use it.
