Abakus Mental Arithmetic

Mental Arithmetic offers a proven means to developing a child's academic abilities and creative thinking skills in a balanced way.

The program begins by teaching each child to use an abacus, an ancient tool that allows tactile interaction with mathematics. Once the abacus has been mastered, each child learns to do calculations in their head by forming a mental image of a number on the abacus. The result is each child can add, subtract, multiply, and divide even very large numbers mentally.

Peer-reviewed studies with control groups have shown that the Abakus program leads to improved academic results and increased performance in foreign languages.
