product and program
PRESENTATION
Pioneer and Expert
in the field of
Abacus and Mental Arithmetic
Education since 1999
Course
designed for
For Whole Brain Development, Especially the Right Brain
5 -13 years
for Life Time Skill
In learning the NUMBERS and their RELATIONS
In learning to do Calculations easily – Very fast & Accurate
Left & Right Brain Functions
• Calculations done with Abacus, using the fingers of both the hands
stimulate the brain – both the Right and Left Brain.
• Whole brain Development enables the children excel in their studies,
Life-time situations.
• Right Brain is the Seat of Intelligence and the Left Brain is the store
house of information and the knowledge.
• Right Brain stimulation makes the child develop the faculties of brain
such as Visualization, Imagination, Creativity and the related skills.
• Left brain and Right Brain Co-ordinated working results in Whole Brain
Development.
Also benefits the children by:
• Enhancing the Attention span of them and
Concentration Skills significantly
• Enhancing their Visualization skills (Recalling the
images – of objects and the situations)
• Enhancing their Listening skills.
• Summarizing and Estimation skills
• Expressing own ideas - Student tries out different
methods to arrive at solution
Children also gain:
Self-Confidence
Presentation Skills
Creative abilities
Colour of Frame: Light cream colour- the best The colour of the Frame and the
background for the colour images of the value beads are darkish and contrast
positions – Green and Red. Light cream colour back ground
-very friendly to the eyes.
Sliders/Beads: The value positions and non- The value positions and non-
value positions are clearly defined through value positions are not clearly
colour / no colour images. Hence the accuracy defined and hence the accuracy
at the maximum speed of calculation is suffers. Stress results due to the
possible deficiency
Special Features of Indian Abacus
Indian Abacus Old Abacus
Abacus at Zero position: In the Indian Abacus, Zero position is not possible here
the slider positions showing colours are the because of the dull colour of the
value positions and the slider positions which beads and always visible
sink with cream background are considered as
non-value positions. An Indian Abacus Zero
position is logically possible when the sliders
are closed / hidden
Fixing the image: The sliders stay put in the The beads fall down and the values
positions when the Indian Abacus is vertically change while viewing the Abacus with
viewed while working and values don’t get value in a vertical position
distorted

Time saving in the class: The Teacher can The Same is not possible here
identify / verify the answers from her place because of the fall of the beads
when the answers are shown by the students
because of the sliders did not fall hence the
students are able to do more sums
Colour and non-Colour position: The colour The beads are homogenous / uniform
and non-colour positions of slider positions in colour and therefore distinction
remove the confusions and the disturbing between the value and non value
view. The features mean either value or no beads is very difficult. Further the non
value positions which are clear and value beads tend to disturb the vision
understanding & memory registry are easier. and the abacus practitioner has a
blurred vision of the value beads and
the values

Digital Abacus and e-learning: Indian Abacus Manual operation only available. No
company has developed (with added features digital Abacus and e-learning
to the current version) the Indian Abacus-
Digital using which the children can learn the
skills operating manually and also working
simultaneously connecting to the e-learning
site.
The e-learning of this whole process is aimed
to reach large number of children in any corner
to learn the Abacus skills anytime

Visualization and image memory are 100%.
Firm Answers: Sliders are stable and firm and All the beads are unstable and shaky
answers will be perfect hence the wrong answers possible
Special Features of Indian Abacus and Comparison with old Abacus
Indian Abacus: Colour of Frame - Light Old Abacus: The colour of the
cream colour- the best background for the Frame and the beads are darkish
colour images of the value positions – Green and contrast back ground
and Red. Light cream colour -very friendly to
the eyes.
Sliders / Beads: Sliders are chosen to hide and Beads and background are of
unhide the value positions, displayed through constant colours and there is no

Visualization / Photographic memory possible biggest weak point in this version
at its best. The images are of bright and of abacus. Photographic /
contrast colours. There is absolute clarity and visualization not so strong and
the stress free learning much stress to eyes felt by
children.

In the Indian Abacus, the slider positions possible here because of the dull

What is the apt Age for learning Abacus?
• According to an analysis on the development of nervous
tissues, the development and growth of the nervous system
begins from 4 to 6 years old with the quickest speed
These are the very basic skills mostly needed in children to excel in
their Academic Performance.
What are the skills benefits of Abacus Learning?
• CREATIVITY
• REMOVAL OF FEAR OF MATHEMATICS
• ARITHMETIC SKILL
• GOOD ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
• ANALYTICL SKILL
• PROBLEM SOLVING CAPACITY
• SELF CONFIDENCE
• SELF RELIANCE
Why Abacus Education is called Whole Brain Development Programme?

Effects of Abacus Learning–Research by Scientists
• Professor Yuan Yue Min, University of Shandong, China-
• -most suitable age -children of 4 to 12 years of age. This age
group belongs to what is often called "the period of
enlightenment" and is therefore the best age for cultivating
brain functions
• -The learning of zhusuan involves many organs such as the
eyes, hands, mouth and brain, which is most appropriate for
this period of cultivating and tapping the functions of the
brain.
Effects of Abacus Learning – Research by
Scientists.
• -Actions such as listening, looking, reading,
hands movement, calculating becomes as
quick as lightning after learning Mental
Arithmetic. As so, this training is highly for
suitable all aural, visual, mental and physical
development of children.
Research shows that a child's mental growth is most
rapid before the age of 12. The degree of mental
development achieved by a child by this time has a
great influence over his/her future. A child who
received good mental formation by this age will
continue to remain brilliant even to the age of 70.
Whereas a child who lacks this formation will
experience a sharp decline in mental abilities even
as early as the age of 20.

Scientists( contd…)
• Ms. Shizuko Amaiwa, Professor, Shinshu University, Faculty of
Education
• Abacus study not only improves the ability to calculate both
on the abacus and mentally, but also provides a beneficial
ripple effect on other disciplines
• 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
Whether the Abacus Education will
help academic performance?
• The main benefit is whole brain development
through abacus education resulting in Visualisation,
increased concentration, listening skill and enhanced
memory the abacus education plays a
complimentary role to better the academic
performance
• It gives self confidence and self reliance
Whether the Abacus Education will help academic
performance?
