Abacus is a very popular Chinese tool used for doing Mathematical Calculations with great speed and accuracy. It’s the most simple and practical way to learn Mathematics & developing one’s Brainpower! Abacus uses Math as the base subject.

Modern Day ABACUS has a plastic frame with colorful beads on it that are used for counting & doing the mathematical operations. Each bead has got a value. Moving the beads up and down does the calculations. We have a Large, Display or The Master Abacus used by Course Instructors for Illustrations in the class. The Student Abacus on the other hand is very light and can be easily carried by children.

Abacus is virtually seen as the ultimate Brainpower Development Program for today’s children! It lays foundation for a strong Mathematical Aptitude & Improves Performance in all other areas. Foreseen as the WONDER PROGRAM and often called as Mathemagic, the use of Abacus lays foundation for ABACUS MENTAL ARITHMETIC.

Just as for physical well-being & fitness, we need physical exercises & movements; similarly for mental well-being we need mental exercises and a brainpower development program that can empower a complete 360-degree brain development. Mental Arithmetic offers great advantages to make our Children

• More competent
• Confident
• With Improved their Overall Abilities
• Better Performers in all areas!

Mental Arithmetic is a form of calculation that is done solely by human mind using mental powers or performing calculations mentally without using any external tool such as a calculator, computer, scale, pen, paper, pencil or even the Abacus.

Developing Mental Arithmetic using Abacus is an easy and achievable task. We need a medium as well as a set of rules for developing & practicing Mental Arithmetic. Abacus satisfies all pre-requisites! It’s used only as the ladder to Reach Mental Arithmetic.

The Process: Initially the student is encouraged to learn bead movements and do the sums & solve problems with the student abacus. Consequently the student gains speed and accuracy in solving the problems & deriving the correct answer develops the confidence that abacus is simple to use & learn. It helps form an image of Abacus in his mind! Later on, for developing mental arithmetic, we remove the abacus tool because we don’t want to make the child dependent on it. They’re trained to think, imagine that a virtual abacus is kept in front and to move imaginary beads on it. They imagine the abacus in front of them because of the mental image they have formed and he does his calculations by recalling his abacus method and formulas This is interesting and full of fun for the child! This process, where they solve simple as well as complex questions using an imaginary abacus is called Mental Arithmetic! In all the levels of abacus we initially make the child do sums with the abacus and later on In each level the child practices mental Arithmetic where thus his memory and concentration is improved.

Super Brain Mantra Abacus, the Complete Brain Power Development Program is also highly popular as the Concentration Builder & Memory Booster Program! Based on Scientifically proven,logical methods and the understanding of Child Psychology, we follow Methods to Develop & Boost the mental faculties.

Developing Imagination & Creativity: Initially when the child is encouraged to learn bead movements on the student abacus, they consequently gain speed and confidence on it. Abacus is removed from them in specified time duration so they are not dependent on it. They’re trained to think, imagine that a virtual abacus is kept in front and to move imaginary beads on it. This is interesting and full of fun for the child! It develops the visualization power and boosts Imagination and creativity in them.

Boosting Memory: To solve questions mentally, Students do the imaginary bead movements, remember the position of remaining beads and then recall the digits for Addition / Subtraction / Multiplication etc. Continuous and rigorous practice of the same develops a Photographic memory for longer retention and quick recalling.

Concentration Developer: During Mental Arithmetic, the child has to listen carefully to the questions/sums being called out loudly by the teacher. In case he hears correct, which is possible only with 100%attention and alertness, he gets the accurate solutions If not the answers are wrong. The Urge to get the Right Answer encourages the child to concentrate for that specified duration and thus develops the concentration power as a part of habit or practice.

Generating Self Confidence: As many number of times the child gets the right answer, his confidence is doubled and gradually develops high self-confidence.

Removing the Fear & Phobia of Mathematics marks the beginning of Abacus training. The Bead system of Abacus is very simple and it helps develop Speed & Accuracy for finding Answers to even Complex Questions. This develops a Strong Self Confidence in the Child. Regular Practice generates Confidence & Removes the Fear & Phobia for Mathematics.

Generating fun & interest in Mathematics! This Lab Method based on Practical Touch and feel Approach, is the key to generating interest & removing Boredom! Abacus as a tool is taught in playful manner, using stories & rhymes!! Absence of Pen, Paper, and Calculator & interactive sessions keep the class full of creativity! Solving questions using the beads of Abacus is a very interesting, fun generating experience for the Children.

Super Brain Mantra Abacus program requires frequent use of the thumb and index finger of the right hand only, to operate the abacus tool. The nerves of these 2 fingers are directly related to the brain. Human brain is divided into 2 parts: The left-brain and the right brain. Left-brain has 5 main functions Writing, Speech, Thinking, Calculation, Judgment (Decision Making) Now while working; student moves beads up and down (fingers are used, acupressure sends regular sensations to brain). Using math, student continuously works on digits and does operations (+, -, x, /) and reaches results .So automatically the 3 major functions of left brain are repeated again and again .The left part gets rigorous exercise and usage and Similarly right brain has 4 main functions Visualization, Imagination, Memorization, and Recalling. Now when we remove abacus as physical device and focus on Mental Arithmetic, the student first imagines or you can say, visualizes the picture of abacus in mind. Then performs math mentally (as if he was using real abacus). All this boosts his creativity and Imaginative powers. Moreover to do so, he has to listen carefully to what his teacher says (for abacus) and develops a habit of focus and concentration in the classrooms. Now during Mental Arithmetic he imagines, visualizes, remembers and recalls, All these processes again and again involve rigorous and continuous use of right brain and left brain leading to a full 3600 brain development. Hence our target of Complete Brain Power Development is achieved!

Formation of child’s brain takes shape in this age as per various research papers. Human brain starts to develop at the age of 3 years and extends to 100% between the ages of 4-14 years. At 5 years the child has a very absorbent mind. Their mind is fresh and free from all the responsibilities and tensions of life. Therefore we believe in nourishing an absorbent mind.

Abacus Mental Arithmetic is the most fantastic way of learning maths in a new practical and “Learning while doing approach”. At the same time developing mental faculties (i.e. Brain Power development) is achieved using our Abacus based Mental Arithmetic. Learning math’s is now fun through our math’s Lab approach for performing routine/complex Mathematical calculations, mentally, at a great speed and accuracy in just a few seconds, without using pen, paper, calculator or any other external tool.

Yes, absolutely! Abacus Mental Arithmetic Training includes continuous here is a good example to explain why: Working out a written – down problem on an abacus is one of the abacus calculations. When you work on addition & subtraction with 10 numbers of 2- digits each, you have to move abacus beads approximately 30 times and if make even one mistake, your answer is incorrect! So to get the right answer, the student has to be focused and alert! This gradual & regular process builds concentration as practice!! Secondly, routine steps followed in classroom, build concentration

• Dictation - This is also called listening mental arithmetic. Someone will read aloud the number and the listener will perform the calculation
• Observation- The person will use the numbers that he sees and imagines the number to be the beads on an abacus. He will use this imaginary abacus to perform the calculation.
• Mental Calculations - The person will dictate to himself silently and use an imaginary abacus to perform the calculation.

Now when it comes to abacus certificate examination, within a limited time you have to get correct answers and score more than 70% in order to pass. Without good concentration skills, it is impossible! Along with abacus training and practice, students are able to improve their concentration skills, consequently.
