Why use an abacus?
Mathematics is an abstract concept; studies have shown that children aged 9 and under often struggle to visualize abstract concepts similar to math.
These difficulties can lead to a range of issues, from a reluctance to engage with math in less severe cases to a loss of confidence and even academic failure, even among bright students.
Using an abacus will help your child understand calculations and develop mental models that will support them throughout their schooling and beyond.
The abacus: an ancient tool still useful today.
Children who use the abacus during their education generally achieve significantly better scores in IQ assessments and outperform those using the most modern and experimental educational methods.
The abacus benefits children beyond mathematics.
Using the abacus supports memory in two ways. Firstly, the child no longer needs to memorize answers to arithmetic problems. Once the child learns how to use the abacus, they will know how to solve any calculation exercise. There will be no need to memorize specific solutions or steps, as the method remains consistent. Secondly, the abacus allows them to clearly see how they arrived at the result. By understanding how calculations and numbers work, they can grasp how different problems are solved. Once the child knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to keep answers in their short-term memory.
Children often memorize exercises 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 fosters an intuitive understanding of arithmetic.
From preschool through high school, the abacus offers a clear advantage for the student who uses it.
