Why use an abacus?
Mathematics is an abstract subject; numerous studies have shown that students aged 9 and under often struggle to visualize the abstract concepts inherent to math.
These difficulties can stem from a range of problems leading to frustration with math under even the easiest conditions, potentially causing loss of confidence or learning challenges, even among the brightest students.
Using an abacus helps your child to visually process calculations and develop mental models that will support them throughout their schooling and beyond.
The abacus: an ancient tool that remains useful today.
Children who use an abacus during their education typically achieve significantly higher IQ scores and outperform peers educated through the latest experimental and theoretical teaching methods.
The abacus benefits your child beyond mathematics.
Using an abacus supports students’ memory in two ways. First, the child no longer has to memorize arithmetic answers. Once the student understands how the abacus works, they know how to solve any calculation exercise. Memorizing solutions or calculation steps becomes unnecessary because the method stays constant. The second way the abacus aids memory is by allowing children to clearly see how they reached an answer. By internalizing how calculations and numbers operate, they can understand new problems better. Once a student knows how to solve an exercise, they no longer need to hold answers in short-term memory.
Children often focus on memorizing exercises without developing problem-solving methods, leading to rote learning without understanding, which isn’t always obvious.
This bad habit is easily corrected by using an abacus, which fosters intuitive arithmetic comprehension.
From kindergarten through high school, the abacus is a clear advantage for any student who uses it.
