Abacus classes for kids is an ancient course which has amazing benefits for kids. But with the modern technical innovations in all streams including education, it seems to have lost its charm over the past few decades. Although from the last 10 years or so, it has bounced back (thanks to emerging media and digital means of spreading information to wider public) and gained tremendous popularity among both the kids and the parents. If you are wondering why, keep reading to know the amazing benefits of Abacus classes.

Top 12 Significant Benefits of Learning Abacus

1. Superfast calculations – Abacus is a proven methodology to gain up to 5x more speed than traditional ways of calculations taught in schools. Let us give you a simple example below.

Example question

29 x 34

• When using the conventional approach, this question needs the student to use paper and pen. The steps include multiplying 29 first by 4, then again multiplying 29 by 3, and then sum up the results of both these steps. This will take a minimum of 10 seconds for the child.
• On the other hand, a child who has been trained in Abacus classes, can solve this question in less than 2 seconds using the Abacus tool, or via visualization (mentally). This is clearly 5 times faster than the conventional method. If this sounds unbelievable to you, then you should watch the demo clips of students as young as 5 years on the Mathcruise portal from where my son is undergoing his online Abacus classes. In my opinion Mathcruise clearly provides one of the best abacus classes in Delhi.

2. 100% accurate calculations – Let us accept the hard fact: Abacus classes for kids is not an easy thing to master and to be honest, children have to be very patient. The teachers and parents both must motivate them during this journey. Initially the children of course make mistakes and the speed is also slow but with practice and over a period of time (6 to 9 months), they gain 100% accuracy even for complex calculations.

3. Enable Mental Maths – The visualization technique of Abacus means that kids are solving the complex questions even in their mind without use of paper or pen at all. As mentioned earlier, the kids are able to achieve perfection in this mental ability only with regular practice, but once mastered this technique stays with them for lifetime.

4. Fun based learning – The school way of teaching maths is generally seen as monotonous by the kids and lets honestly admit it as well. On the other hand, Abacus training teaches the arithmetic calculations via the fun filled techniques, since Abacus is like learning altogether a new language and an experienced teacher can really make this learning interesting via fun filled techniques during the sessions (like using gaming techniques among kids, promoting positive competition etc)

5. Remove fear of Maths from the minds of children – It is a well known fact worldwide that most children develop fear of Maths at some point of time. The most important benefit of Abacus classes in my mind is that the kids become so strong in arithmetic calculations that leave aside the fear, Maths actually becomes their favorite subject. Isn’t this mind blowing?

6. Peer advantage – Due to the superfast speed and accuracy, the child who has gone through Abacus training has a unique advantage over his peers and this clearly shows in the results. I am pretty sure all parents would love this, isn’t it?

7. Saves precious time in exams – In the exams, every minute saved is equivalent to every minute gained. I don’t think we need to explain how crucial this benefit is for the kids for exams at all levels – whether in school or even the competitive exams.

8. Brain development – Most parents are not aware that Abacus classes for kids rely heavily on brain development exercises. The Abacus way of working includes training the kids to be able to do fast finger movement by both hands at the same time for maximum speed, and this phenomenon can only be achieved once the right brain is stimulated and gets fully activated. So abacus will inevitably lead to brain development and thus increasing overall efficiency of the child manifold.

9. Boosts confidence – You can easily imagine that with all the above benefits, the level of confidence increase that the child gets is tremendous. While the confidence cannot be measured against any tangible parameter, the parents and teachers can easily gauge that in day to day behavior and response of the child.

10. Path to success in all spheres of life (even outside of academics) – Abacus for kids is one such rare course that helps the child in all spheres of life, not only academics. We all would agree that confidence and brain development are the aspects that app parents strive to achieve for their kids and these will make them succeed in life overall.

11. Develops Photographic memory – Again, this is a benefit of the visualization technique of Abacus where the child develops very strong photogenic memory simply because he is able to create images of the Abacus tool in his mind and retain them as well, and updates that image for every calculation step. Strong photogenic memory is another key aspect which will help him succeed in multiple spheres of life, since he will grasp things much faster and retain it for much longer as compared to other kids.

12. Lifetime gift from parents to their kids – Enrolling your child into Abacus online classes is the best gift parents can give to their child and too for lifetime, this is evident from the long list of benefits mentioned above.

My advice to all parents is not to waste time and explore how they can get their children started on this wonderful Abacus journey. You should not see this as an optional course. Abacus classes are recommended for all children within the age group of 5-15. If done under the guidance of a good professional teacher, the benefits of learning Abacus can really be a game changer.
