Why an Abacus?

Mathematics can be an abstract concept for children; numerous studies have shown that children under 10 years old struggle to visualize such abstract ideas.
These difficulties can lead to a range of issues, from simple dislike of math to loss of confidence and even academic failure, even among the brightest children.
Using an abacus encourages your child to actively engage with calculations and build mental models that will support their learning throughout their education and beyond.

The Abacus: An Ancient Tool Still Relevant Today

Children who use the abacus in their education consistently achieve significantly higher IQ test scores, outperforming even students taught with the latest and sometimes experimental learning methods.

The Abacus Benefits Extend Beyond Mathematics

Using the abacus enhances children's memory skills in several ways. First, the child no longer needs to memorize individual arithmetic solutions. Once the student has mastered the abacus, they will know how to solve any math problem using the same method. They won't have to remember separate answers or calculation steps because it’s always the same reliable approach. The second way the abacus aids memory is by helping children clearly understand how they arrive at results. By understanding how problems and numbers work, they can comprehend various calculations. Once students can solve a problem, they no longer need to retain the answers in their short-term memory.
Students tend to memorize exercises without learning the methods to solve them, leading to rote learning without true understanding, which is often subtle and unnoticed.
This issue is easily resolved by calculating with an abacus, as it enables intuitive and effective understanding of arithmetic.

From elementary school through high school, the abacus offers clear benefits for any student who uses it.
