The abacus has proven to be one of ancient China's greatest inventions; and its popularity has been compromised over the course of time by the emergence of digital calculators; and has inspired different forms of the counting device evolved in other countries. In China, the abacus is more than a practical counting tool; it is also a cultural symbol representing wisdom and wealth. Although computers are widely used across the country today, the abacus has not been eclipsed by technology and still has a role in many aspects of Chinese daily life.
The AbacusClub teaches children the fundamentals of mathematics while improving their focus and concentration skills. We introduce students to tactile learning while they manipulate the beads of a chinese abacus (Suanpan) with their hands to perform math calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). Students are taught how to visualize a “mental abacus”, enabling them to perform math calculations in their minds (xinsuan) without the assistance of a physical abacus. Students benefit from enhanced visualization skills, increased focus & concentration, a higher level of self-confidence, and reinforcement of core math abilities. Abacus math programs also increase the child’s brain development.
