Why choose an abacus?

Mathematics is an abstract concept; numerous rigorous studies have shown that children under 9 often struggle to visualize conceptual elements like those in math.
These difficulties can lead to a range of issues, from aversion to math in mild cases, to loss of confidence and academic setbacks—even among bright students.
Using an abacus helps your child analyze calculations and build mental models that will support them throughout their schooling and beyond.

The abacus: an ancient tool still adapted today.

Children who use the abacus in their learning achieve significantly higher IQ scores than their peers, outperforming even those students taught with the most advanced educational methods.

The abacus supports users beyond mathematics.

Manipulating the abacus enhances students’ memory in several ways. First, the child no longer needs to memorize answers to arithmetic problems. Once a student learns the abacus, they understand how to solve all types of calculation problems. They do not need to remember specific solutions or steps because the same method applies consistently. The second way the abacus supports memory is by helping students concretely understand how they arrived at the answer. By comprehending how calculations and numbers work, they can grasp different problems more clearly. Once a student can solve a problem, they no longer need to keep the solution steps in short-term memory.
Students often memorize exercises without developing methods for solving them, leading to rote learning without understanding, which can be hard to detect.
This issue is easily resolved by calculating with an abacus, as the abacus promotes intuitive and effective arithmetic assimilation.

From preschool to higher education, the abacus offers proven benefits to every student who uses it.
