| Importance of Abacus for Mathematical Development |
| |
| The abacus was invented by Charles Babbage though it's now being used by the entire world to turn on the mental abilities of young brains. Abacus training sharpens our memory and increases our ability to perform mental calculations. Abacus was designed in such a manner so that the brain visualizes the abacus while performing calculations which automatically activates the right part of our brain especially when we move our fingers over the beads and talk aloud while solving the problems. However, one needs to enjoy the abacus education training process, only then will one be able to truly benefit from the technique. |

| The energy and abilities of our mind are not limited - it is the master organ which takes all the decisions of the body. The left brain is also known as the digital brain whereas the right brain helps in creative pursuits. Both sides of our brain need to work in sync with each other and that is where abacus training helps us. Abacus training has become increasingly popular in India of late and helps the young minds understand the great number plan on which the universe is being run. The abacus calculation methods help us in learning in number manipulation skills, decimal grasp and digit correlation among other skills. |

| While electronic calculators need numbers as inputs, in abacus education, children learn to convert the beads into numbers and thus arrive at a result. The chain just goes on, the abacus sharpens the brains and the brain thus gains more expertise in solving mathematics problems using abacus. Even the most brilliant students find the use of abacus a great help while solving problems. |
| |
| The students can use the abacus training to calculate arithmetical problems rapidly. Later on, the students can also perform the calculations without using the abacus, by just visualizing the abacus in their minds. Abacus education also helps them develop new and innovative methods of mastering arithmetic, rather than being dependent on just the orthodox methods of learning calculations otherwise taught by the conventional education system. Abacus answers the primary need of the students to make fast and accurate calculations. |
