Will my child be confused by school and mental arithmetic methods?

Written by

  • No. There are various methods of calculations namely school method, mental arithmetic, abacus arithmetic, using calculators, using computers etc.  A child who has not mastered the abacus mental arithmetic is not supposed to apply in his school work.  He is required to continue using the conventional method in school.  However, once he has mastered the abacus mental arithmetic he can apply this method for crosschecking his school mathematics.
  • Learning abacus mental arithmetic has a lot of hidden values.  Students will gradually have better concentration, memory, alertness, flexibility, imaginative and creative.  This will make a child more intelligent in overall.
