  • Between 2700 and 2300 BC, Sumerian and ancient
    Mesopotamians
  • invented the abacus. The abacus is a
    straightforward tool for computation. It
  • consists of a frame with rows of wires or thin
    rods along which beads are
  • moved. Today, with its concept of mental math,
    the abacus has become an
  • excellent tool for improving a childs brain
    processing speed working memory
  • and long-term memory. This can help children
    learn faster than if they were
  • reading or listening. It enhances the brains
    processing speed to quickly and
  • efficiently process information.

Abacus learning has many benefits, let us explore
some of its advantages
  • 1. Improved Math Skills -
  • The abacus helps children develop a strong
    foundation in mathematics by teaching them
  • basic arithmetic operations like addition,
    subtraction, multiplication, and division. The
  • physical manipulation of beads on the abacus
    enhances their understanding of numbers and
  • numerical relationships.
  • 2. Enhanced Concentration-
  • Learning to use an abacus requires focus and
    concentration. Children need to pay attention
  • to the beads and their positions while performing
    calculations, which can improve their
  • overall concentration and attention span.

  • 3. Visual and Spatial Skills -
  • Manipulating the beads on the abacus helps
    children develop better visual
  • and spatial awareness. They learn to visualize
    numbers and patterns in their
  • minds, which can be beneficial in various aspects
    of learning.
  • 4. Boosted Memory -
  • Abacus learning involves memorizing certain
    patterns and techniques.
  • Regular practice with the abacus enhances memory
    retention and recall
  • abilities in children.

6
  • 5.Speed and Accuracy-
  • As children become proficient in using the
    abacus, they can perform
  • calculations swiftly and accurately. This mental
    agility can be
  • advantageous in everyday life and future academic
    pursuits.
  • 6. Brain Development -
  • Abacus learning stimulates both the left and
    right hemispheres of the
  • brain. This bilateral brain activity promotes
    holistic brain development and
  • can improve cognitive functions.

7
  • 7 .Confidence Building -
  • Mastering the abacus and being able to perform
    calculations mentally can
  • boost a childs confidence. The sense of
    accomplishment in solving math
  • problems independently can positively impact
    their self-esteem.
  • 8. Logical Thinking-
  • Using the abacus requires sequential and logical
    thinking. Children
  • learn step-by-step problem-solving techniques,
    enhancing their logical
  • reasoning skills.

8
  • 9. Reduces Math Anxiety -
  • For some children, math can be intimidating,
    leading to math anxiety. The
  • abacus offers a tactile and visual way to
    understand math concepts,
  • reducing anxiety and fear associated with
    numbers.
  • 10. Cultural and Historical Appreciation -
  • Learning about the abacus introduces children to
    the history of ancient
  • counting devices and the different cultures that
    used them. It fosters an
  • appreciation for diverse methods of calculation.

9
  • 11. Foundation for Mental Math -
  • Abacus learning provides a solid foundation for
    mental math. After
  • gaining proficiency with the physical abacus,
    children can transition to
  • performing calculations mentally with greater
    ease.
  • 12.  Cross-Curricular Benefits -
  • Abacus learning can have positive effects on
    other subjects as well.
  • Improved concentration and cognitive skills
    acquired through abacus
  • practice can positively influence performance in
    various academic areas.

  • 13 Foundation for Mental Math -
  • Abacus learning provides a solid foundation for
    mental math. After gaining
  • proficiency with the physical abacus, children
    can transition to performing
  • calculations mentally with greater ease.
  • 14. Cross-Curricular Benefits -
  • Abacus learning can have positive effects on
    other subjects as well.
  • Improved concentration and cognitive skills
    acquired through abacus
  • practice can positively influence performance in
    various academic areas.

  • To cultivate such skills in children, UCMAS encour
    ages mental abacus
  • learning! With the help of an abacus, children
    can do calculations using
  • mental math. Overall, abacus learning offers a
    holistic approach to
  • developing a childs mathematical abilities,
    cognitive skills, and
  • confidence. It provides a unique and engaging way
    for children to
  • understand and excel in mathematics, making it a
    valuable educational
  • tool.

  • Unleash the boundless potential within your child
    with the
  • transformative UCMAS abacus learning
    program. This extraordinary
  • opportunity will pave the way for their journey
    towards unparalleled
  • success and academic brilliance! Seize this
    moment and watch them soar
  • to new heights of achievement. Enroll them now,
    and empower their
  • minds to conquer a lifetime of extraordinary
