What is Abacus
Whether you are planning to learn abacus online or go for offline classes, it’s of utmost importance that as a parent you understand what Abacus is and how is it useful.
- Abacus in its simplest form is the world’s first & oldest calculator
- It consists of a two-dimensional array of beads which is the most effective way to learn numbers
- The most common use of the Abacus Training in the Maths learning system is ability to do all arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) even faster than the calculator, via Visualization technique using finger movement (without pen and paper)
Course Description
- Abacus course is designed for mid to long-term duration and is divided into 9 levels. Every child (irrespective of age) starts from the first level since learning Abacus is similar to learning a new language.
- A child uses the physical tool only in the first few months and gradually does all the arithmetic calculations by visualization using his finger movement whereby he forms the impression of tools and beads in his mind for every number or every calculation step.
- If practiced consistently under professional guidance, gradually a child develops the ability to use even both hands simultaneously to do the finger movement and at such a fast pace that it seems unbelievable phenomenon to us unless we see this live
Why should Parents choose Abacus?
Now since we know the basics of Abacus, lets understand a little more that as a parent why you must choose Abacus classes for kids.
- Modern studies have proved that the maximum brain development happens only until the age of 15 years. Hence its strongly recommended for a child to use Abacus at an early age starting 6 years.

- To remove Maths Phobia from kids. Most parents are looking for effective ways of ‘How to overcome fear of Maths’. One of the key benefits of choosing Abacus for kids is that the kids will learn to do all arithmetic operations using visualization (without paper and pen) and this approach makes numbers your child’s best friends, thus removing fear of Maths.

- While everyone would like to claim the credit for best Abacus classes, we equally give credit to the parents and child himself for effective results since any Abacus teacher cannot produce the results standalone.
- At Mathcruise we provide fully online Abacus classes to global students, across multiple countries.
