Abacus

The Abacus is a wooden calculation frame which has counting beads framed within. This ancient calculation tool was prevalent much before the numeral systems came into place. Now, Abacus can be used to perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

At BrainCarve, we make use of the actual Abacus tool to teach children Mathematics. We have observed that most children do not like memorizing multiplication tables. The Abacus serves as an excellent tool for teaching children multiplication, without them having to employ rote learning methods.

Moreover, Abacus helps in lateralizing brain functioning. It helps in activating the left and right hemispheres, both of which are required for logical as well as creative thinking. Moving the beads enhances fine and gross motor skills and betters hand coordination. The Abacus also serves as an excellent tool for teaching Base Number Systems. Once children have had adequate practice with the Abacus tool, they are taught to simultaneously imagine the Abacus in mind and perform calculations. Children will have to visualize the Abacus to perform calculations quickly.

Abacus training helps children not just with mathematics but also with their memory, creative thinking and logical thinking.
