Abacus is a method of mental calculation. Performed on a virtual image of the abacus formed in the mind, it is based on the principles of abacus calculation.
In this case, the abacus is merely a tool, through regular practice of which children are able to visualize and internalize the image of the abacus in their mind.
By activating both sides of the brain, all students can achieve calculation speeds that were previously only achievable by math geniuses.
As a matter of fact, in Dec. 2000, a first-year student and his 2 sisters broke 4 Guinness world records with this very same method of calculation.
Image Abacus trains the students to use the left hemispheres (logical side) to manipulate the virtual abacus (image) on the right hemispheres (abstract side). This unique exercise fosters and strengthens the brain function and can improve the following areas:
In short, image abacus training will help any child to retain knowledge more effectively and become more proficient in any subject, especially math.
