Why use an abacus?

Arithmetic is an abstract concept; studies have shown that children under 9 often struggle to understand abstract concepts similar to mathematics. These difficulties can lead to a range of issues, from a simple aversion to arithmetic to loss of confidence and academic failure, even among bright children. Using an abacus helps your child understand calculations and develop mental models that will support them throughout their schooling and beyond into higher education.

The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.

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

The abacus benefits users beyond mathematics.

Using the abacus supports children’s memory in two ways. First, the child no longer needs to memorize answers to arithmetic problems. Once the child understands how to use the abacus, they will know how to solve any math problem. There is no need to memorize specific solutions or steps, as the method remains consistent. Second, the abacus allows them to clearly see how they arrived at the result. By understanding how calculations and numbers work, they can see how to approach new problems. Once the child knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to keep the steps in their short-term memory.

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

From preschool to higher education, the abacus offers a clear advantage for the student who uses it.
