Gifting a tool so-called tool known as ABACUS can make wonders in the learning path of the child. Let’s explore the major benefits of learning abacus.
We all wish that our children need to learn effortlessly along the path of their learning journey, which will help them shine in this competitive world, don't we? Choosing the right course for the right age will help them to hone their skills. In this way, ABACUS is the right choice for the age group of 4 to 16 years.
Let’s begin to explore more in detail as to how it works and How does it benefit?

Imagination skills
Learning abacus boosts the child’s imagination as it enhances the child to imagine every number in the form of beads. This will be the first step the child explores while learning it.
For instance – let’s do this magic with you all by retrieving the way we learned numbers. While learning to identify numbers, wasn’t it a huge joy in counting the number of apples or mangoes to pick the right answer? It is much similar to this activity. The child will count the beads to find out the numbers. Slowly, from here, the next move is the vice versa of this process.
The child gets an opportunity to enjoy the process with the tool. Later, when the tool is taken away, the child’s imagination or visualization will reach a point where the child will get to picture the whole tool while doing the calculations.
Analytical Skills
Abacus includes 6 sets of formulas which makes the basic operation of Math to be super easy. When the child begins to learn, the child gets an experience to understand the formula in-depth through a hands-on activity, to understand how to apply the formula by relating and analysing it well with and without the tool.
For instance – Let’s do a quick recap on the way we played running race with objects when small.
The race rules – the child will fill in the empty basket kept at one end with the objects present in another basket kept at the other end. We shall play the game with huge enthusiasm as we need to empty the start point basket to win the race by filling it on the other end. While doing so we know how fast we need to run to empty and fill it up. Same way when some beads are moving up and down while doing the calculations, the child enjoys analysing it throughout the process.

Listening Skills
A child who gets trained in abacus can calculate the sums as and when they see or hear the numbers to add, subtract, multiply or divide.
Let us understand how this fosters listening skills –
We always tend to instruct children to concentrate well while performing Math as there are more chances for making silly mistakes while doing the basic operations. Whereas when the child learns abacus, the child gains the skills to perform the calculation without mistakes, even if they have to perform the calculations in a disturbed environment. This works like magic, with the help of oral practices that plays a vital role in excelling Abacus. What is Oral practice? The instructor/parent shall read out the sums and the child will perform the calculation using visualizing technique and answer it immediately without using pen and paper.
Strengthens memory
Abacus is a whole-brain activity, as it involves the right and left brain simultaneously. It engages the activities of the right brain, like, visualization, holistic thinking, and left-hand coordination and the left-brain activities like, logical reasoning, linear thinking, registering facts, Math concepts, and right-hand coordination, thus resulting in strengthening the memory skills like recalling, understanding, reflecting, and elaborating.
Let’s see the results of honing these skills –
When a child fosters skills as such,
LISTENING
VISUALIZING
ANALYTICAL and
MEMORIZING,
Will these not help the child excel in concentrating while learning?
Will these not help the child excel in academics?
Will these not help the child excel in solving Math concepts and crack National and professional entrance exams they would face in the longer run?
Will learning abacus not be a boon to enhance the child’s learning skills along with solving Math operations quicker, with accuracy?
