The traditional school abacus is the easiest model for younger children to learn to use. This abacus provides an easy and durable introduction to mathematics. With its substantial wooden construction, it is both long-lasting and environmentally friendly. Bright and attractive colors from non-toxic paint and varnish. A robust design that withstands children’s wear and tear.

For your child, the abacus will be a reliable factor in their success.

Why use an abacus?

Arithmetic is an abstract concept; studies have shown that children under 9 often struggle with abstract concepts like arithmetic. These difficulties can lead to various issues, from mild aversion to mathematics to loss of confidence and even academic failure, even among the most intelligent children. Performing calculations on an abacus helps your child understand calculations and create mental models that will support them throughout their education and beyond into their studies.

The abacus: an ancient tool still relevant today.

Children who use the abacus during their education generally achieve significantly higher scores in IQ tests compared to their peers, surpassing even those studying with the most modern and experimental educational methods.

The abacus benefits children beyond mathematics.

Using the abacus supports students’ memory in several ways. First, the child no longer needs to memorize answers to arithmetic exercises. Once the child learns the abacus, they will know how to find the solution to any mathematical problem. There is no need to memorize solutions or steps, as the method remains the same. The second way the abacus helps their memory is by allowing them to see very clearly how they arrived at the answer. By understanding how problems and numbers work, they can see how different calculations function. Once the student knows how to solve a problem, they no longer need to keep the solution steps in their short-term memory.

Children tend to learn problems rather than develop methods to solve them, leading to a form of rote learning that is not always easily visible. This issue is easily resolved by using an abacus, as it supports an intuitive and effective understanding of mathematics.

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