Why choose an abacus?

Mathematics can be an abstract concept for children; numerous reputable studies have shown that students aged 9 and under often struggle to visualize abstract concepts like arithmetic.
Such difficulties can lead to a reluctance toward math in mild cases, and can result in lost confidence or academic failure, even among the brightest students.
Using an abacus helps your child to explore numbers and develop mental models that will support them throughout their schooling and beyond.

The abacus: an ancient tool still valuable today.

Children who use the abacus in their education universally achieve higher IQ test scores compared to their peers, outperforming even students taught by the most advanced educational methods.

The abacus benefits children beyond mathematics.

Using the abacus enhances students’ memory skills in two ways. First, the student no longer needs to memorize answers to math problems. Once a child has mastered the abacus, they will know how to solve any calculation problem. They won’t need to memorize specific solutions or calculation steps because the method remains consistent. The second way the abacus aids memory is by allowing them to clearly see how the result was obtained. By understanding how problems and numbers work, they can visualize how various calculations function. Once the child can solve an exercise, they no longer need to keep the solution steps in short-term memory.
Children tend to memorize exercises rather than develop methods to solve them, resulting in rote learning without true comprehension, which often goes unnoticed.
This issue is easily overcome by using an abacus, which provides an intuitive understanding of mathematics.

From elementary school through middle school and beyond, the abacus builds clear advantages for the child who uses it.
