Children Brain Development

ANCIENT TOOL ACTIVELY USED IN MODERN TIMES Chances are you won’t always have a calculator with you when you need to calculate, that is when Abacus comes to your rescue. The Abacus provides countable beads for children to visualize numbers on a base-10 system. The children learn to manipulate those beads to perform arithmetic calculations such as addition and division. The word is derived from the Greek word ‘abax’, meaning “calculating board” or “calculating table” The first Chinese Abacus was invented around 500 B.C. The Abacus, as we know it today, was used in China around 1300 A.D. Often referred to as the first computer, the Abacus is an instrument used to add, subtract, multiply and divide, to calculate fractions and square roots. It is still commonly used today across certain Asian communities

DO YOU KNOW HOW THE SCIENCE BEHIND ABACUS WORKS? As a parent, you might wonder if your child can also acquire such super-human skills. The answer is yes. Your child can also get trained to acquire such skills and enhanced brain capabilities through Abacus Training. But what is the science behind Abacus Maths training? Let’s understand. Abacus and brain Out of the two hemispheres of the brain, the left one is connected with Mathematics function and logical processing while the right brain is used for imagination, visualization, and even intuition. The left side of the brain is trained when a child is taught Math through traditional methods. During Abacus training, children use both left and right hands and thus stimulate both sides of the brain simultaneously. Spatial Reasoning During Abacus training, children learn to connect a physical object (Abacus) with abstract thinking. The process builds and strengthens their spatial and imagination reasoning. Complex numbers and cal...
