Abacus has
proved to be a boon to parents and
teachers. It is a simple technique
taught in early childhood. It’s an art
that’s more than 2000 years old and a
skill, which originated in China. This
ancient art has survived the onslaught
of time, because it is a proven
technique for the development of the
brain. |

Abacus!
The word is not uncommon. It is now
accepted and practiced in several
countries around the world, principally
in China, but also in Japan, Korea,
Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and India.
Children, parents and teachers benefit
from the program. This will help
children in all areas where learning is
required. The program Mental Arithmetic
System is the only proven and
tested tool to develop the right brain.

The brain
is made up of two hemispheres, the left
& the right. Research on brain reveals,
that the left hemisphere provides
analytical information concerning,
language and sound, and the Left-brain
governs the right limbs and the right
brain governs the left limbs.
Conversely, the action of the limbs also
has an influence on the development of
the brain. From infancy, children are
taught to use their right hand for most
of the work they do like eating and
writing. So the right hand is used more
than the left hand throughout life.
Eventually the right brain is not well
developed. The learning of Abacus mental
Arithmetic accelerates the development
of right hemisphere of the brain. |

The brain
of a six-year old child reaches the
weight of 1200 grams making up 86% of an
adult brain. At this time the child
approaches the sensitive period of
thinking in the visual receptivity,
aural recognition of sound and
flexibility of finger muscles. So we
work with children from ages 4 to 12
years. |

As a
result of more efficient design and
methods of operation, the use of the
Abacus has actually increased in Japan
in recent decades. The use of the Abacus
is part of the arithmetic curriculum in
grade schools all over Japan. Japanese
abacasists are recognized as skilled
professionals, trained in special
schools and licensed as first-grade,
second-grade, or third grade operators
according to their speed and accuracy. |

The speed
and accuracy of abacus calculations was
demonstrated in 1946 in Japan in a
contest held between a Japanese soroban
expert and a highly skilled
desk-calculator selected by competition
among U.S. Army Payroll clerks. The
abacus came out ahead in addition,
subtraction, division and problems
involving combinations of these
operations. The electronic calculator
won only the multiplication contest. |
