The popular school abacus is the easiest form to learn to use for younger children. This type of abacus provides an easy and tangible introduction to the world of arithmetic. With its high-quality wooden construction, it is durable and environmentally friendly. Bright and pleasant colors from non-toxic paint and varnish. The rustic design is resistant to wear and tear from children.

For your child, the abacus will remain a true factor in their success.

Why use an abacus?

Mathematics is an abstract concept; studies have shown that children under 10 often struggle with abstract concepts like mathematics. These difficulties can lead to a range of issues, from a dislike of arithmetic in less severe cases to loss of confidence and even educational setbacks, even among intelligent children. Performing operations on an abacus will require your child to visualize numbers and create mental models that will support them throughout their education and beyond into their adult life.

The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.

Children who use an abacus during their education often achieve higher IQ scores compared to their peers, surpassing even those who study with the most advanced educational methods.

The abacus benefits its users beyond mathematics.

Using the abacus helps children’s memory in two ways. First, the student no longer has to memorize individual solutions to arithmetic problems. Once the child understands how the abacus works, they will know how to find solutions to various mathematical problems without memorizing specific solutions or steps, as the process remains consistent. The second way the abacus supports memory is by allowing students to see concretely how they arrived at a result. By understanding how problems and numbers work, they grasp how different exercises function. Once a student can solve an exercise, there is no need to retain the solutions in short-term memory.

Students tend to remember problems rather than developing methods to solve them, resulting in a form of rote learning without true understanding, which is not always easy to observe. This poor habit can be easily corrected with an abacus, as it facilitates intuitive and effective understanding of mathematics.

From elementary school to high school, the abacus provides significant value for the child using it.
