Why use an abacus?

Mathematics is an abstract concept; numerous studies have shown that children under 10 years old struggle to grasp abstract ideas like math.
This difficulty can lead to a range of issues from simply avoiding arithmetic in mild cases to loss of confidence and even academic setbacks, even among intelligent children.
Performing calculations on an abacus forces your child to visualize numbers and develop mental models that will support them throughout their education and beyond in life.

The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.

Children who use the abacus in their learning generally achieve higher IQ test scores than their peers, even outperforming students taught with the most cutting-edge educational methods.

The abacus benefits users beyond just mathematics.

Using an abacus supports children’s memory in two ways. First, the student no longer needs to memorize individual arithmetic solutions. Once the child understands how the abacus works, they will know how to find the solution to any math problem. They won’t need to remember solutions or solving steps because the process is always the same. The other way the abacus aids memory is that children can concretely see how they arrived at the result. By internalizing how problems and numbers function, they can understand how different exercises work. Once a student can solve a problem, they no longer need to keep the solutions in short-term memory.
Students tend to remember problems rather than develop methods to solve them, leading to rote learning without true understanding—a difficulty that is often not easily detected.
This bad habit is easily resolved with an abacus, as it enables an intuitive and effective comprehension of mathematics.

From elementary school through high school, the abacus provides real value for every child who uses it.
