Why choose a Japanese abacus / soroban?

After the age of 6, we believe the soroban is the most suitable form of abacus for serious educational use. It is designed to perform both basic and complex operations, making it useful throughout your child’s education beyond elementary school. Its principles remain applicable for more challenging math exercises.

Invented in the 17th century based on the Chinese abacus, the Japanese abacus is now the most commonly used in education. (And for good reason!)

For your child, the abacus will be a genuine tool for success.

Why use an abacus?

Arithmetic is an abstract concept for children; studies have shown that children under 9 often struggle to visualize abstract elements similar to mathematics. These difficulties can lead to various issues, from a basic aversion to arithmetic to loss of confidence and even academic failure, even among intelligent students. Using an abacus will help your child visualize calculations and build mental models that support them throughout their education and beyond.

The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.

Children who use the abacus during their education generally achieve significantly higher IQ scores and outperform their peers using even the most advanced educational methods.

The abacus benefits children beyond mathematics.

Using an abacus supports children’s memory in two ways. First, the child no longer needs to memorize answers to math problems. Once the student understands how the abacus works, they will know how to solve any math problem. They won’t need to memorize specific solutions or steps, as the method remains consistent. Second, the abacus allows them to see clearly how they arrived at the answer. By understanding how calculations and numbers work, they can visualize how other problems function. Once the student knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to keep the steps in their short-term memory.

Children often learn problems without developing methods for solving them, leading to a form of rote learning that is not always obvious. This issue is easily resolved with an abacus, as it supports an intuitive understanding of calculations.

From preschool to high school, the abacus provides clear benefits to the student who uses it.
