Benefits of Abacus Children naturally have vast potential of energy and brain power. But most parents do not know how to tap into the depths of these young minds in the right way and thus fail to realize and nurture these young minds to their fullest potential. Functions of Brain Our brain has two hemispheres, the LEFT brain and the RIGHT brain. About 95% of our children use only the LEFT brain. They fail to use the RIGHT brain which is the seat and origin of intelligence. Learning abacus can accomplish this goal We offer training using the Japanese Soroban abacus, which is has one upper row of beads and four lower rows. We have found the Soroban abacus particularly effective for teaching mathematical calculating skills to young children. Using an abacus, a child can do all arithmetic calculations up to 10 digits and master the skill of doing it mentally, without relying on modern devices such as calculators. There are procedures and training methodologies to master abacus use When children use hands to move the beads for small and large arithmetic calculations, the quick communication between hands and brain stimulates brain cells, promoting quick, balanced and whole brain development. Using the abacus also: LEFT Brain - Analyzing Information, Concerning Languages & Sound. RIGHT Brain Integrating Information, Thinking & Creativity. The Left and Right brains have their own specialized powers and functions. Our task is to activate BOTH parts of the brain simultaneously. By using BOTH the parts of brain, students can more fully realize their great potential. But... how can we motivate BOTH parts of the n at a time?

When children use hands to move the beads in small and large arithmetic calculations, there is quick communication between the hands and the brain that stimulates both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This promotes rapid, balanced whole brain development. Educators maintain that the abacus helps children develop powers of mental calculation. It enables children to:

The abacus is an excellent substitute for rote memorization of multiplication tables. Abacus calculation relies on the manipulation of beads rather than use of traditional arithmetic. It teaches children to visualize numbers and their relationships and placement values. Many schools in Asia, where abacus instruction is widely popular for teaching mental math/arithmetic, introduce the abacus between kindergarten and 7th grade. If a child starts learning the abacus before being taught traditional arithmetic, there is minimal conflict and
