Why Choose an Abacus?
Arithmetic is an abstract concept; science has shown that children 9 years and younger often struggle to grasp abstract elements like math.
These difficulties can lead to a dislike of arithmetic in milder cases, and may cause loss of confidence or academic failure even in bright children.
Using an abacus helps your child visualize calculations and build mental structures that will support them throughout their school years and beyond into higher education.
The Abacus: An Ancient Tool Still Relevant Today
Children who use the abacus during their education generally achieve significantly higher IQ test results and outperform peers who follow more modern teaching methods.
How the Abacus Supports Cognitive Skills Beyond Math
Using an abacus supports children's memory in two ways. First, they no longer need to memorize arithmetic exercise answers. Once they master the abacus, they know how to find the solution to any math problem.
They don’t need to memorize solutions or calculation steps because the method remains consistent.
Another way the abacus aids memory is by allowing children to clearly visualize how they obtained the answer.
By understanding how calculations and numbers work, they can see how to approach new problems. Once a child knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to keep the steps in their short-term memory.
Children tend to learn problems rather than processes to solve them, which can lead to rote memorization without true understanding.
This issue is easily addressed by using the abacus, which fosters intuitive comprehension of mathematics.
From kindergarten through higher education, the abacus provides clear benefits to every student who uses it.
