    Indian Abacus helps children learn numbers best through an objective experience of repeatedly calling out numbers and touching objects on the abacus. This sequential learning of numbers through an activity engages children and helps the numbers become memories. The abacus also enables children to learn the value of numbers and perform calculations by understanding number positions and borrowing values. Using the physical abacus helps develop strong visualization skills that support memory formation and allow children to perform amazing mental math.

    INVENTOR - INDIAN ABACUS

    How Children learn numbers – Indian Abacus helps them best…

    Repeated imaging of numbers form an objective experience rather than an abstract input.
    Objective experience is the root cause for memory and abstract input is one down in the order as
    it needs a related image to substantiate it so that it becomes a memory file in the brain.

    Children initially would not know the meaning of the numbers as they cannot relate them to
    anything that they understand. Learning of numbers would however be possible by calling them
    out in an order and for each number objectively touching and feeling a concretized object which
    they can see, touch or feel. In the process the child would relate the number to the object that it is
    made to see & touch or feel. But by using many similar objects, it would relate only the counting
    but not the object to the number. It is easier for the child to learn numbers this way as learning best
    happens through an activity. Activity becomes a highlight in the process of learning numbers
    through looking and touching of the objects rather than the relativity of the number to the object,
    as the objects are many in number and similar making relativity of a number to a specific object
    cannot be established.

    By repetitive calling out of the numbers and touching and pushing the objects children get the
    sequential learning of numbers. This has been the reason why Abacus has the great advantage
    for children to learn the numbers. Children get interested in Abacus based computation since the
    same is a Number - game. Pushing the sliders is fun on one side and since it also means numbers,
    learning also happens. Abacus based arithmetic computation helps through learning of numbers
    with the support of concretized objects and their images in the mind. The child is thus introduced
    to numbers without any difficulty as it will start loving the tool as soon as it sees it. Abacus enables
    the children do abstract arithmetic physically by feeling them, i.e. through objective experience.

    Abacus helps children not only to learn the numbers by identifying them understanding the
    positions – Units, Tens, Hundreds…. While computing the child uses the formulae, which expose the
    child add and subtract easily by borrowing the values from the higher positions wherever
    necessary, which is done in fraction of a second. Computing without objective experience is
    possible and some could be adepts in it. But the computation process using concretized objects
    such as the Abacus gives it an additional sensing advantage as the objects could be seen –
    visualized. Visualization actually completes the memory process. Visualization which is "seeing
    with clarity" actually creates memory, Image becomes the input for the brain to capture and fix it
    as a memory. Repeated imaging of numbers form an objective experience rather than an
    abstract input. Objective experience is the root cause for memory and abstract input is one down
    in the order as it needs a related image to substantiate it so that it becomes a memory file in the
    brain.

    Visualization which is a function of the Right brain therefore enables a stronger and more
    comprehensive input for the brain to use effectively in the memory process. It is this function which
    makes the Right brain a stronger player in the memory process. Indian Abacus thus is a Wonder
    tool, which helps the child in so many ways – helps them learn numbers, enable calculation of
    complicated sums possible easily and speedily. Other benefits are enhancement of Brain
    capabilities – Concentration, Listening, Visualization. Easy computing possibility makes possible
    Speedy calculations and accurate to the core. Abacus – the physical one used initially becomes
    the mental tool which supports the child to perform Mental Arithmetic / Math at amazing speed,
    exhibiting the acquired Concentration, Listening and imaging skills.
