The popular Western-style abacus is the easiest form for very young children to grasp.
This type of abacus offers a simple yet robust introduction to the world of arithmetic.
With its high-quality wooden construction, it is both durable over time and environmentally friendly.
Vibrant, original colors achieved with non-toxic paint and varnish.
Strong, solid design built to withstand the rough handling of children.
For your child, the abacus will be a true key to success.
Why choose an abacus?
Mathematics is an abstract concept; numerous serious studies have shown that students aged 9 and under often struggle to understand conceptual elements like arithmetic.
These difficulties can lead to a cascade of issues, ranging from a simple aversion to math in mild cases to loss of self-confidence and even educational failure, even among intelligent children.
Using an abacus helps your child visualize numbers and build mental structures that will support them throughout their schooling and beyond.
The abacus: an ancient tool still perfectly adapted today.
Children who use the abacus during their education generally achieve significantly higher IQ test scores than their peers, even surpassing students taught with the latest, sometimes experimental, learning methods.
The abacus helps children overcome difficulties with math.
Using the abacus aids students’ memory capacity in two ways. First, the student no longer needs to memorize answers to math exercises. Once the student understands how the abacus works, they will know how to solve all types of arithmetic problems. There’s no need to memorize solutions or steps, because the process remains consistent. The second way the abacus supports memory is that students can clearly see how they arrived at the result. By internally learning how problems and numbers relate, they can understand how to tackle new exercises. Once a student knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to store answers in short-term memory.
Students tend to memorize exercises rather than develop problem-solving methods, resulting in rote learning that often goes unnoticed.
This issue is easily overcome by calculating with an abacus, as it promotes an intuitive understanding of mathematics.
From elementary school through high school, the abacus is a reliable advantage for any child who uses it.
