About UCMAS

• UCMAS (Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic
  System) an ISO 9001 2008 certified course, is
  a unique child development program that was
  founded in Malaysia by Dr Dino Wong.
• The first UCMAS centre opened its doors in 1993
  in Malaysia based on the simple premise Provide
  quality Abacus and Mental Math Training to
  children in the age group of 5-13 years and help
  them Discover the Genius Within.
• UCMAS is a globally recognized and scientifically
  proven, child development program based on Mental
  Math and Abacus for children aged 5-13 years.
• Legions of students registered for this program
  and over the years UCMAS developed as an
  international concept offering this wonderful
  program, worldwide.
• UCMAS is a unique and scientifically-proven
  abacus math learning program designed for
  children to develop their latent mental power at
  a very early age when brain development is
  reaching its peak.

• An ancient tool that has retained its value for
  several centuries despite the
• advance of technology must be pretty good right? 
• The abacus has been used for centuries to teach
  the fundamentals of
• numbers and is now being used all over the globe
  to train young minds in
• mathematics and rapid mental math. 
• The main advantage of learning the abacus early
  on is that it can significantly enhance brain
  power by improving the brain skills of children
  early on. When children learn to use an abacus,
  they use both their hands and a tool with beads
  to calculate numbers. It is widely believed that
  the movement of beads using their fingers
  activates their brain sensors. Enrolling your
  children in an abacus learning center early on
  can transform them into human calculators,
  mathematicians, and even magna cum laude
  graduates later on!

• For many kids, math isnt the most thrilling
  subject, but there
• are effortless approaches to spark their
  interest and cultivate a
• genuine love for mathematics. Discover why
  parents are
• turning to Blended Learning to enhance their
  childrens
• mathematical journey.

Abacus Where Math Becomes Clear

• The abacus has a unique quality that makes math
  comprehensible. It
• provides children with a concrete understanding
  of numbers and the
• reasoning behind mathematical solutions. Abstract
  concepts often
• baffle young minds, and research from University
  College London
• indicates that children may struggle with
  abstract ideas until around
• the age of 9 or 10. During these critical early
  years of education, relying
• solely on memorization can limit their true grasp
  of mathematics.
• Abacus math activities, however, bridge this gap
  by allowing children
• to make sense of numbers.

Abacus Where Math Becomes Clear

• Abacus students not only compute answers but also
  understand
• why those answers are correct. This clarity
  equips them to identify and
• rectify errors, fostering an eagerness to learn
  new concepts.

Building Math Confidence

• Abacus mental math training instills confidence
  in students,
• making their school math journey smoother and
  more
• enjoyable. The difference between children who
  have received
• mental math abacus training and those who havent
  is truly
• remarkable. Teachers often notice not only
  improved
• mathematical abilities but also a shift in how
  these students
• approach math problems.

2. Memory Enhancement Through Abacus

• Many seasoned educators have observed that
  students
• frequently review math concepts immediately
  before exams
• only to forget them afterwards. However, abacus 
  mental math
• training addresses this issue by reinforcing
  memory in two
• significant ways.
• First, students no longer need to memorize
  arithmetic
• answers or solution steps because they
  consistently follow the
• same process.

2. Memory Enhancement Through Abacus

• Second, the abacus provides a concrete visual
  representation of
• problem-solving, enhancing students
  understanding of how numbers
• and problems interact. As a result, they no
  longer rely on short-term
• memory for solutions. Instead, they store their
  skills in long-term
• memory, readily accessible whenever needed.
• Unlike non-abacus students who often forget math
  concepts after
• exams, abacus students retain their knowledge,
  reducing memory-
• related stress.

3. Abacus for Lifelong Learning

• Another common issue highlighted by educators is
  the transition from
• hands-on math manipulation in younger grades to
  abstract
• calculations as numbers grow larger. However, the
  abacus uniquely
• supports students as they tackle increasingly
  complex numbers
• throughout their academic journey.
• The ability to visualize numbers remains a
  valuable skill, especially as
• students confront larger numerical challenges.
  Manipulating
• physical objects like blocks or pennies becomes
  impractical, but the
• abacus remains a powerful tool for handling
  bigger numbers.

12

• Furthermore, abacus-trained students excel in
  higher-level math, including word problems,
  algebra, fractions, geometry, and ratios. This
  versatile tool is the key to mathematical
  success.
• These 3 advantages only scratch the surface of
  abacus educations benefits. The confidence and
  enthusiasm it instills in children are invaluable
  and last a lifetime.
• Within just a few weeks of mental math abacus
  learning, weve witnessed remarkable
  transformations in toddlers, as they gain an
  understanding of math that often surpasses high
  school levels. Dont wait until high school the
  benefits of the abacus continue throughout a
  childs life, opening doors to countless
  opportunities. Unlock your childs potential
  today with early math activities at UCMAS!
