The popular Western abacus is the easiest type for younger children to understand. The school abacus provides an easy and serious introduction to the world of mathematics. With its high-quality wooden construction, it is both durable and environmentally friendly. Warm and pleasant colors from non-toxic paint and varnish. A robust build that withstands the wear and tear of children.

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

Why use an abacus?

Mathematics is an abstract concept; numerous studies have shown that children under 9 often struggle to visualize abstract elements like arithmetic. These difficulties can lead to a range of issues, from a mild aversion to arithmetic in less severe cases to loss of confidence and even academic failure, even among the most capable students. Performing calculations on an abacus will help your child visualize numbers and create mental models that will assist them throughout their schooling and beyond into higher education.

The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.

Children who use the abacus during their learning generally achieve higher IQ scores compared to their peers, surpassing even those studying with the most advanced educational theories.

The abacus benefits children beyond mathematics.

Using the abacus supports students’ memory in a couple of ways. First, the student no longer needs to memorize individual solutions to arithmetic problems. Once the child has learned the abacus, they will know how to solve any mathematical problem. There is no need to remember specific solutions or calculation steps, as the method remains the same. The second way the abacus reduces memory stress is by allowing students to clearly see how they arrived at a result. By understanding how calculations and numbers work, they can see how new exercises function. Once the child knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to retain answers in short-term memory.

Students tend to remember problems rather than developing methods to solve them, resulting in a form of rote learning that is not always easily noticeable. This issue is easily resolved by using an abacus, as it supports an intuitive understanding of calculations.

From elementary school to high school, the abacus provides a reliable advantage for the student who uses it.
