Why Use an Abacus?

Arithmetic is an abstract concept; serious studies have shown that children under the age of 9 often struggle with abstract concepts like arithmetic.
These difficulties can lead to a wide range of issues, from giving up on arithmetic in even the simplest situations to loss of confidence and academic setbacks, even among the brightest children.
Using an abacus compels your child to engage with calculations and develop mental models that will benefit them throughout their school years and beyond.

The Abacus: An Ancient Tool Still Relevant Today

Children who use the abacus during their education typically achieve higher IQ test scores, even outperforming peers who learn through the latest, sometimes experimental, teaching methods.

The Abacus Supports Your Child Beyond Math

Using an abacus enhances students' memory skills in multiple ways. Firstly, students no longer need to memorize arithmetic answers. Once they understand how the abacus works, they learn how to solve all kinds of calculation problems.
They don’t need to memorize solutions or calculation steps, as the process remains consistent.
Secondly, the abacus reduces the stress on memory by allowing children to concretely see how results are calculated.
By internalizing how calculations and numbers function, they gain insight into solving other problems.
Once a child knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to retain every step in their immediate memory.
Children tend to memorize problems rather than develop problem-solving methods, resulting in rote learning without true understanding.
This habit is easily overcome by using an abacus, which encourages intuitive grasp of calculations.

From elementary school through high school, the abacus offers a clear advantage to students who use it.
