About ABACUS - A Human Calculator

HISTORY: The soroban, counting tray is an Abacus developed in Japan. It is derived from the Chinese suanpan, imported to Japan around 1600 AD. Like the suanpan, the soroban is still used today, despite the proliferation of practical and affordable pocket electronic calculators. 

Despite the popularity of calculators, the soroban is very much in use today across the world. The Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry conducts examinations which soroban users can take to obtain licenses

NEED OF ABACUS: As we all know that Mathematics is the only subject which needs lots and lots of calculations like Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Decimals, Square roots and so on... And if we are mostly dependent on calculators for quicker calculations. But the calculators are not allowed in examinations. 

Abacus is the only tool, by practising, can be used virtually for solving all the mathematical calculations 

with speed and accuracy. Thats why 

“ABACUS IS KNOWN AS THE GYM OF THE BRAIN”

HOW BRAIN WORKS

Left part of the brain controls Right Part of the Body and Right part of the brain controls the Left part of the body. 

At birth LEFT & RIGHT brain are equally developed, but with the passage of time LEFT brain becomes dominant, as it gets regular exercise by virtue of our culture, environment, atmosphere & Education system which restricts RIGHT brain exercise.

LEFT BRAIN + RIGHT BRAIN

=

WHOLE BRAIN

POWER OF RIGHT BRAIN

Although Left brain and right brain are equally important but we are emphasizing more on Right Brain as it is usually underdeveloped.

(a)  Right Brain controls left part of the body.

(b)  We recognize the power of right brain when we say “Lefties are more intelligent”.

(c)  Right brain abilities include

  1. Concentration,

  2. Photographic memory,

  3. Enhanced language skills,

  4. High speed reading & calculation,

  5. Creativity, intuition and imagination.

(d)  The main purpose of right brain education is to bring out the potential and talents of children, already present in the right hemisphere of the brain.

(e)  Persons using their right brains have  better:

  • Memory skills

  • Attention skills

  • Reading skills

  • Math skills

  • Ability to process information

  • Ability to collect their thoughts

  • Ability to speak & write comprehensively

  • Fact retention

  • Comprehension

  • Confidence

ABACUS AND RIGHT BRAIN

We use physical Abacus with left hand so that the Right Brain is activated.

 

Abacus Math action involves use of following for performing Mental Arithmetic:

  • Imaginative thinking, (Think about Abacus Beads while calculation)

  • Picture memory (Beads position acts as picture)

  • Spatial/Visual thinking (Abacus pictures are used for arithmetic calculations)

 These functions of our brain are seated in the Right Brain and Right Brain is the seat for Creative Intelligence. Its continuous usage stimulates the right brain to deliver healthy and active work from a Creative Mind.

How ABACUS Works?
Image description
  1. Numbers are represented in Abacus as Beads and positions. 
  2. As the training progresses children deal with numbers and its operation as play way object in form of bead sliding over a rod for operations like +, -, x, /, %, etc.
  3. In abacus the abstract numbers are converted into beads IMAGE format and then arithmetic operations are done.
  4. The brain visualizes the image of abacus and then performs the mental calculation. The mathematical calculation done by this pattern is atleast 5-8 time faster and accurate, besides this concentration and visualization in children make them capable in learning their studies and excellence in image memory. 
  5. Listening skills of children too zoom to new heights

We make the Child to learn:

  1. How to ascertain the place value by sliding beads.

  2. Positioning of beads indicates place value.

  3. Every place value is an image or picture.

  4. A child everyday practices in abacus for minimum 500 Images of Pictures.

  5. Therefore in 3 Level training the child would have practiced more than 1.4 lacs Images or Pictures. In the same way in 8 levels a child would have practiced more than 4 lacs Images or Pictures.

  6. The images gone into the memory cells do not confine to arithmetic only.

  7. The enhanced memory is for all subjects leading to all-round academic excellence.

  8. Equip the child to face any competition.

Right Age of Learning (5 to 14 years) : Human brain starts to develop at the age of 3 yrs and extends to 100% between 5-14 yrs of age. At 5 yrs the child has a very absorbent mind. Their mind is fresh and free from all the responsibilities, stress and tensions of life. Therefore we believe in nourishing an absorbent mind. Beside this child at this tender age are free from calculators, computers and such modern dependent gadgets thereby becoming self reliant.
