What is Abacus? 

Abacus is a wonderful tool for mental

Arithmetic training that enables a child
to do calculations without the aid of any
instruments.
What are the benefits of
abacus learning?

Abacus learning helps in developing the ability of mental

calculation in children. It enables them to understand the basic
number systems including base-ten and place values.

Abacus helps the child to understand the concepts of carrying

and borrowing used in arithmetic. It helps in visualization of
the relationship between numbers and numerals.
How does it benefit my child?

Learning Mathematics with an Abacus  help...

 boost your child’s confidence when it comes to

mathematics.

 develop mental calculation abilities.

 provide a sense of achievement as the child's skill /

proficiency improves. 
How does it benefit my child?

 lead to greater mental capacity. 

 promote intuitive thinking. 

 enhance problem-solving capability. 

 enhance creativity. 

 improve concentration and mental endurance.

The Stages of Development
of the Brain:
3 years old: The brain has expected 60% growth, therefore a child
has the strongest absorbing power.

3 to 6 years old: The brain has grown a further 20%. The learning
and absorbing power is not as strong as in a 3-year old.
However, the child will obtain astonishing results if he is
provided with more foundations.

6 to 8 years old: The brain has grown a further 10%, the child must
put in tremendous effort if he starts learning at this age.

After 8 years: If a child starts learning at this age, it is rather difficult

for the child achieve good results, He has to work harder with
more disciplined.
 How can SCA help to increase a child's
intelligence?

SCA is designed to improve not only on a child's

calculating ability and his/her understanding of arithmetic,
but also to
 Increase the Memory Power and Creativity.
 Concentration level and the Listening skill.
 Ability to Analyze Problem.
 Loving math for Lifelong Success.
 Build the child's Confidence level in their school
work and life. 
Does abacus training conflicts with the
school’s method of teaching math?

 In case your child starts the abacus learning

program prior to learning the traditional
program, then there is no conflict
whatsoever. And if the child uses the
program after receiving traditional methods,
the learning period may be slightly extended,
but he can easily use both the methods for
calculation.
We have computers/calculators
everywhere, why use an Abacus ?

 With Abacus Mental Arithmetic, a child will be

able to calculate using with speed and
accuracy his/her own mental power,
anywhere, anytime. Besides it also helps in
Whole Brain development especially
the Right half which normally remains
underdeveloped.
ABACUS
 Charles Babbage invented abacus and the
whole world is truly benefiting from it. It is an
innovative potion for all those who want to
turn on their brains for oral mathematical
calculations. Abacus Training sharpens our
memory no end. It increases our capability
for mental calculations and cancels our
dependence on calculator.
What is the purpose of learning the
Abacus?

 It provides an opportunity for young kids to

advance their intelligence quality at early
ages (3-15 years) by learning the mental
arithmetic skill through the Abacus
techniques. Also prepare the youngsters for
better learning on academic mathematics.
What are the benefits of Abacus
Training?

 Learning how to operate an Abacus will

improve a child’s calculating ability and
his/her Understanding of mathematics. It will
increase memory power and concentration of
a child.
Does my kid require an Abacus to
calculate?

 No, an Abacus is not required. The concept

of the Abacus is used; however, as described
above, only an image of the abacus is
required.
How long does it take to learn?

  It consists of 12 levels. The 12th level is the

novice level, and the 1 is the most advanced.
The training takes 2 years to complete.
Normally, dramatic improvement in math
capability is evident in the 1st year.
How will it help in other subjects/school
works?

 It encourages the child to give full attention to

study by listening more attentively and
effectively thus making him more confident
and interested in school works (both
curricular and extracurricular). His/her
creativity and ability to analyze problems will
be improved.
Does the training have lifelong benefits
and rewards?

  The ability to do mental calculations is a skill

one retains for life. The benefits and rewards
are infinite. For example, a natural outcome
of being able to do calculations quickly will
lead to certain improvements in competitive
examinations.
When should my child begin?
  Children between the age of 5-10 are an ideal age
to begin. But  we  have a record maker from Taiwan
who started at the age of three and won the National
competition at the age of five. Thus a programme
uniquely designed for age 3 -6 has been designed by
our International faculty and has been introduced
first time in India. There is no age bar we also have a
50 year old student. We will gladly provide a free
analysis of your child readiness.
When to START

 It is advisable to start with the Abacus

Training prior to starting with the
conventional arithmetic in school. Even for
brilliant students, Abacus gives a feasible
way to come out of rigors of mental
calculations and set site on the other
advanced concepts.
Whole Brain Development
 We know that energy and limits of brain is boundless
and a life is never enough to truly judge its potential.
It is the master organ of the body which is
responsible for taking a majority of decisions. Left
part of the brain is also called the digital brain; it
controls our capabilities of reading, writing, logic, and
calculation whereas the right part also called the
analog brain helps in creative and artistic pursuits.
Had both the sides not worked in sync, we would
have fallen behind in most of our tasks. It fortunately
does work in tandem.
What positives does the user get from
using abacus?

– Abacus helps in boosting your child’s confidence, in

carrying out math calculations and developing
mental calculation abilities. It helps in offering a
sense of achievement to the child with his improved
efficiency. Abacus helps in enhancing the problem
solving abilities of the child along with improving the
concentration and mental endurance.
 What are the advantages of learning SCA abacus
mental arithmetic?

1. Improve the accuracy and the speed of computing skill or logical reasoning.

2. Build stronger memory power.

3. Promote longer concentration span.

4. Enhance imaging skills or photographic memory.

5. Create higher learning capability and self-esteem.

6. Increase the level and speed of understanding (comprehension).

7. Have better sense of observation/visualization power.

8. Sharpen sound judgment/hearing skill.

9. Enjoy the fun of learning and reduce stress.

10. The practice of abacus involves intensive finger movements will also help stimulate
blood circulation and enhancing the overall health.
