Why use an abacus?
Mathematics is an abstract concept; numerous serious studies have shown that children aged 9 or younger often struggle to grasp abstract ideas like arithmetic.
These difficulties can lead to a rejection of math even in the simplest cases, and may cause loss of self-confidence or academic failure, even for the most capable students.
Using an abacus encourages your child to visualize numbers and develop mental models that will support them throughout their schooling and beyond, for life.
The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.
Children who use an abacus during their education generally achieve higher average scores on IQ tests compared to their peers, even surpassing students taught with the most cutting-edge educational methods.
The abacus benefits your child beyond mathematics.
Using an abacus supports children’s memory in multiple ways. Firstly, students no longer need to memorize individual arithmetic answers. Secondly, once they understand how the abacus works, they know how to solve all kinds of math problems. They do not need to memorize individual formulas or calculation steps because the method is always the same. Another way the abacus helps memory is by allowing children to concretely see how they arrived at an answer. By understanding how numbers and calculations work, they can grasp other problems more easily. Once the child can solve an exercise, they no longer need to rely on short-term memory for answers.
Children tend to memorize exercises rather than develop problem-solving methods, which leads to rote learning without comprehension—often not immediately visible.
This issue is easily overcome by using an abacus, as it encourages intuitive understanding and absorption of math concepts.
From elementary school through high school, the abacus provides clear and lasting advantages for any child who uses it.
