An Innovative Technique of Developing Mathematical Skills
>> Jan 14, 2013
Now it is
possible to make our children calculate faster than a computer. Sound it may
bizarre but now this is possible by following simple, proven and age old
methods of doing mathematical calculations. Many students in India and abroad
share the similar fear of the subject Maths. A fair percentage of students is
not comfortable doing simple arithmetical problems involving basic mathematical
operations like addition, subtraction, division or multiplication.
Children
powered with proper guidance and training to face the subject and solve
fundamental arithmetical problems right from the beginning are steered
automatically in the direction of achieving academic excellence. Students
introduced to abacus or Vedic maths concept are better equipped to face even
most complex calculations with ease and confidence.
Abacus
training reduces the dependence upon calculators and increases the child's
ability to do mental calculations. In addition, abacus education impacts the
child and aims at all round development of the personality by boosting self
confidence, attentiveness, listening abilities, concentration and imagination.
Use of abacus device stimulates fingers and mind simultaneously.
The
movement of fingers on the beads of the abacus device along with stimulation of
the bran creates a pictorial memory in the mind of the children. The
simultaneous use of both the hands along with both parts of the brain (the
right brain and the left-brain) conditions and grooms them as quicker and
accurate problem solver.
Anyone can
become a part of the growing Abacus franchise family
and participate in the movement of improving children's overall personality.
The concept of abacus is adaptable to blend into any teaching pattern followed
at various schools.
The system
helps all children alike to improve their grasp over all calculations including
multiplication, division, subtraction, and addition. Many international as well
as national level competitions including CAT, MCAT, DAT, or GMAT do not allow
the use of algorithms or calculators, wherein abacus training from an early age
can come in handy.
There is
no ideal age to begin with abacus training, even the kids as small as four
(kindergarten goers) can grasp abacus concepts, as every module is designed
keep in mind the average age of the group taking classes. Another misconception
among parents regarding abacus training is that the child already achieving A's
does not need the training.
However,
the prerogative of sending the child for Abacus classes remains with the
parents, an intelligent child can improve upon her /his abilities by
accelerating the calculation process thus saving on precious efforts and time.
The popular belief that sending the child for an extra class apart from school
would create unnecessary pressure is again a myth. In contrast to this myth,
students rather find the classes interesting, fun-filled, and stimulating.
