How does UCMAS help your child achieve more:

Usually, ordinary people calculate in their mind using inner voice, as in one hundred minus 7 is 93. They put mathematical notions into words. On the other hand, abacus users simply visualize an image of abacus in their head. They do not replace the image into words. Some experts of abacus use this ability to memorize pages of textbooks, or use their image memory in many other useful ways.

Even for the beginners, abacus learning is useful for an easy grasping of images for addition and subtraction problems, as the beads move in front of their eyes. It also allows easy understanding of the decimal system and the concept of digit positions. By understanding and simplifying numbers, your child will become fond of mathematics. He/ she will be more confident and there will be many positive impacts on other subjects at school. The contemporary education focuses on theory and its rote memorization. We believe an effective application of image thinking induces human creativity and ability to a higher performance level.

There are many different ways to activate the brain, and one of them is- calculation with the abacus. Abacus is not only the best way to exercise fingertips; it also positively influences the activation of right brain cells.

The importance of abacus lies in how many sets of nerve cells we can activate in our lives. We can activate the nerve cells by providing “stimuli”. Moving fingers can lead to activation of nerve cells by providing appropriate stimuli in the large part of sensory to motor domains in the cerebral neo-cortex. In this light, starting abacus learning as young as possible is useful in activating the brains of young children.

It is believed that a child is able to score higher in the assignments because they have more time to think about the problems and need less time to work out simple calculations, as a result of their abacus background.

Abacus students are found to be superior in the accuracy of their memory and the number of digits they are able to memorize when compared with non-abacus learners of the same age. This is because abacus students place numbers on the abacus image in their head as they mentally calculate with the abacus method. This is possible because of the application of the procedures used in the abacus method of mental calculation to solving the memorization assignment.
