Abacus N Vedic Maths conducts Abacus Classes online and offline for Kids of age between 5 to 14 years once/twice in a week. Abacus learning is one of the best ways to improve arithmetic skills and number fluency. Abacus also helps develop an interest and passion in math for many students as their confidence and understanding grows from an early age. Abacus learning has made it easy to calculate basic arithmetic operations like subtraction, addition, division, and multiplication. It’s an enhancement tool for mental operations as it helps in learning math operations from the very basic to the quite complex. Counting numbers with fingers and hands was the method used before the application of sticks and stones. Later beads – ‘The Abacus’ – was invented and it is the most creative way to count numbers easily and quickly. It is an advanced form of learning maths. It’s been proven as one of the most effective methods for young learners to do mental math. Abacus learning not only helps with the basic calculations, it also helps in effective counting of decimal points, negative numbers, etc.
Abacus enables students to perform basic Mathematical calculations with great speed and accuracy. Reward of the course is immense. Imagine that a student of IInd, IIIrd or IVth Standard performing calculation like 29x98, 88x73 in seconds without pen and paper. This is highly recommendable worldwide to enhance a child's concentration level, visualization power & memory power. This is very easy to learn. 15 minutes daily practice is enough, there is no disturbance to current studies as it requires just 15 minutes daily. This is a completely practice-based course and not teaching-based. Percentage of success result is 99%.
The standard abacus can be used to perform addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, ; the abacus can also be used to extract square-roots and cubic roots. The beads are manipulated with either the index finger or the thumb of one hand. The abacus is typically constructed of various types of hardwoods and comes in varying sizes. The frame of the abacus has a series of vertical rods on which a number of wooden beads are allowed to slide freely. A horizontal beam separates the frame into two sections, known as the upper deck and the lower deck.
By learning how to calculate with abacus, one can improve one's mental calculation which becomes faster and more accurate in doing large number calculations. Abacus based mental calculations was derived from the abacus which means doing calculation, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, in mind with an imagined abacus. It is a high-level cognitive skill that runs through calculations with an effective algorithm. People doing long-term training show higher numerical memory capacity and have more effectively connected neural pathways. They are able to retrieve memory to deal with complex processes to calculate. The processing of Menta calculations involves both the visuospatial and visuomotor processing which generate the visual abacus and perform the movement of the imaginary bead. Since the only thing needed to be remembered is the final position of beads, it takes less memory and less computation time.
Abacus is used as a tool to learn calculations. Beads are moved up and down and various columns to represent the number. When children use both hands to move the abacus beads to perform arithmetic calculations, there is quick communication between the hands and the brain that stimulates both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This promotes rapid, balanced whole brain development. Abacus math should be started at very early childhood, as young as age 5. Abacus math starts at very basic level by teaching the numbers and then progressing to calculations. Eventually the child retains the memory of bead positions and the relevant notation.
Vedic Mathematics has no legal definition. Hindu philosophy is based on Veda-s (ancient scriptures written in Sanskrit, some say as old as 5000 B.C.) and mathematics translated from these texts is termed as Vedic Mathematics. These ancient scriptures were rediscovered by Sri Bharati K. Tirthaji and he translated the complex text into simpler understandable mathematics.
Vedic math is entirely done in mind. Vedic math also starts at a basic level of numbers and gradually progressing to simple additions, subtractions, multiplications and division. Vedic math goes much more beyond just the basic calculations. With Vedic math one can also solve complex geometrical theorems and algebraic problems. Vedic math can be started at later ages as well without any difficulty.
The key in both techniques is to practice and implement the methods in your day-to-day life.
