March) What is Abacus? • Abacus is an ancient way to do mathematical calculations. Derived from the Latin word “abax” which means flat surface, or table, the abacus is an instrument with beads, a base, and a stand. These beads and stones are moved to execute addition, multiplication, subtraction, and other mathematical operations. To put it in simple words, Abacus is used for mathematical operations. Who Invented Abacus? • Believed to be first used by Babylonians, Abacus has its roots in ancient times around 2400 B.C. But, the invention is granted to Tim Cranmer. It is in use in almost all regions of the world Europe and China, and Russia is a major participant. What is the Purpose of Using an Abacus? • Abacus was invented way before the numbers came into the picture. And, that's what makes it a traditional way of calculating. The main purpose of the Abacus is to make basic to advanced calculations easier and doable in less time. • To clear the air, is Abacus useful or not? Once learned, kids can conquer any hurdles in calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc Importance of Abacus • The benefits of learning the Abacus might be a concern for a lot of people. But, Abacus can help kids subside all or some mathematical doubts. From making calculations easier for them to giving them an upper hand in retaining power, and IQ, Abacus can be of great advantage. Does Abacus Improve Memory? • Abacus is a combination of basic math, hand movements, countings, and whatnot! All of this improves brain synapses better. Ultimately resulting in better memory. Kids can exercise Abacus daily to gain memory and strong retention power Benefits of Abacus For Kids • 1. Making Calculations easy for them • 2. Memory Retention • 3. Helps in developing motor skills • 4. Boosts Self Confidence • 5. Get a balanced match of speed and accuracy • 6. Enhances creativity skills • 7. Fuel to kid’s observation skills • 8.
