ABACUS

Abacus is an ancient calculating device having its roots in Asia since ages. Abacus in today’s time is made of wood, metal or plastic rectangular frame with freely sliding 5 beads over vertical rods. These beads are parted by a fixed horizontal bar where 1 bead over the vertical bar is placed above the fixed horizontal bar and the remaining 4 beads below the fixed horizontal bar. The beads above the fixed horizontal bar represent number 5 whereas other each of the 4 beads below represent number 1.

Any bead which moves towards the fixed horizontal bar gains value and when it moves away from the fixed horizontal bar looses value, which can be interpreted as 1 bead below the fixed horizontal bar moving towards the fixed horizontal bar means 1 on abacus and 4 beads below the fixed horizontal bar moving towards the fixed horizontal bar means 4 and so as the case with 1 bead above the fixed horizontal bar moving towards the fixed horizontal bar means 5. Moving away from the fixed horizontal bar is -1, -4 or -5 as the number of beads may be. Vertical rods on Abacus are used to represent the place value of number.

If the centre rod of Abacus is the place of One's or Unit, the immediate next rod to the left is the place of Ten's and the immediate next rod to the left of Ten's is Hundred's and so on and so forth for Thousand, 100 Thousand, Million's etc. Learning the skills to operate Abacus can easily enable a person to perform Arithmetic Operations of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Square Roots, Cube Roots etc. with ease after practicing the methods.

In today’s time children love learning this tool and through guided Abacus Training they even can imagine abacus in their photographic mental ability to perform rigid calculations even faster than anyone attempting it on a calculator or computer. This ancient tool of calculation has now become a Supplementary Education to strengthen children's skills for Fast and Accurate Math ability with enhancing and polishing the brain functions like Concentration, Focus, Listening, Analyzing, Comprehending, Imagination, Retention, Memory, Perseverance, Creative Intelligence etc. So the modern definition of abacus is changed to, “A math tool for brain exercise".

We conduct 5 levels of Abacus  Level 1:- Introduction of Abacus. Basic Concept( How to use Abacus?)  Level 2:- Introduction of Visualization ( without abacus). Multiplication.  Level 3:- Introduction of Visualization ( without abacus). Multiplication and Division.

 Level 4:- Introduction of Visualization ( without abacus). Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction.  Level 5:- Introduction of Visualization ( without abacus). Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction.( considering decimal points)

 Developing Photographic Memory Basic mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are solved by simple movement of beads in this instrument. This helps the student to develop a pictorial representation of the problem in the brain and by regular practice, the brain learns to solve the problem without actual use of any aid including the abacus

 Brain Exercise for students. Mathematics provides the ideal exercise for our brain. Mathematics is the logical application of mind to tackle a particular problem. More time spent with mathematics would invariably result in a well exercised and a sharper brain. This is simply the reason why a child strong at mathematics is able to tackle other subjects with relative ease.

 New way to learn mathematics. most children fear mathematics and often try to escape from the complexities of problem solving. This is where Abacus comes to aid. Abacus develops speed and accuracy in mathematics using very basic methods. This naturally develops aptitude and liking for Mathematics within a very short period.

 Independent from Technology With the growing of technology, most of the children are depending on calculators to solve even basic mathematical problems. On being dependent on electronic calculator, they are ignoring the opportunity that to solve arithmetical calculation mentally or using mental calculator, as a result, it is naturally denied to make our brain sharpen.
