Learning Abacus Maths is Shaping Mathematical Thinking — How?

We should understand that learning abacus maths for kids is great. Abacus is quite easy and fun to learn if you have the right people around you. BYITC has established their abacus learning in a fun and engaging manner. Games based systems help the students to not only gauge the concepts but also practise the questions happily.

Reasons Why Learning Abacus Maths is Shaping Mathematical Thinking

Concrete Number Sense: The abacus gives a visual representation of numbers and an opportunity for manipulating them. It makes difficult concepts like addition or subtraction more understandable when kids can touch the beads and see their values change.

Increasing in Mental Calculation: Kids who regularly use abacus tend to be able to solve complex maths problems in their heads quickly with practice. This is why learning abacus maths is useful as they can answer mathematical questions faster and more accurately without needing paper or a calculator.

Concentration Skills: A child needs to focus when using this device. By moving beads around while solving problems their attention to detail will increase over time which helps not only with maths but all subjects at school. Abacus for kids can help in building focus and concentration skills Logical Thinking Skills: When solving arithmetic problems using an abacus, children learn step by step procedures. They can understand how solutions can be drawn out.

Creating a Good Base: This introduction of this can build a strong foundation in maths for those who start learning abacus maths early. Later, when more advanced mathematical subjects are tackled, they will perform better if they know the basics properly. Consequently, wider and deeper knowledge of the subject is created.

How Learning Abacus for Maths Helps Kids Overall

Building Confidence in Mathematics: Learning abacus maths can help improve learners’ self- assurance in the subject. They feel good about themselves each time they solve a problem or understand a concept related to it. In addition, their optimism towards new challenges is boosted as well.

Fun and Interactive Maths: Mathematics becomes enjoyable and practical if an abacus is incorporated into calculations. Instead of just writing numbers on paper, kids get to manipulate beads which makes the learning process more interesting for them. Such a hands-on approach also reduces fear of the subject among learners at this level.

The use of abacuses facilitates multi-sensory learning. When used, learners see, touch and move beads which stimulate various senses simultaneously. Consequently, this method can teach

mathematical concepts effectively because different children have different styles through which they understand things best.

The main aim is to ensure that these kids do not only get to know arithmetic but also have fun while at it. It transforms learning from just being a routine activity into something more interesting where every move of a bead counts towards making them self-assured individuals in mathematics who are skilled and passionate as well. Learning abacus maths is a smart move to understand maths even better especially when started early.

Supercharging the Brain: Abacus or Calculator for Maths?

One cosy afternoon, two siblings, aged 5 and 7, were playing with numbers at the dining table, when the younger one asked, “Do you want to supercharge your brain with me?” The older one, intrigued, nodded, and they both started their little game — one with a calculator, and the other with an abacus.

As part of their game, the 7-year-old typed a tricky sum into the calculator:

“5783 × 46 = ?”

With a few quick taps, the answer appeared on the screen. But before they could even say it out loud, the 5-year-old, moving their fingers as if shifting invisible beads, blurted out the correct answer at the exact same time!

The older sibling’s jaw dropped. “How did you do that?” they asked, completely stunned. With a proud smile, the 5-year-old replied, “It’s the magic of the abacus! It helps me supercharge my brain!”

Abacus or Calculator: Which is Better to Supercharge Your Brain?

The abacus is more than just an old counting tool — it’s a brain-training powerhouse. Children who practice with it develop exceptional mental maths skills, often solving problems faster than a calculator. That’s why they’re sometimes called “Human Calculators,” because they can compute numbers purely through visualisation. The abacus can help kids supercharge their brain, strengthening their cognitive abilities in a way that a calculator cannot.

How the Abacus Supercharges Your Brain

1. It Develops Mental Maths Skills: A calculator provides answers instantly, but it doesn’t strengthen problem-solving skills. The abacus teaches children to visualise numbers, allowing them to perform calculations quickly without any external device. This boosts maths skills and helps supercharge the brain for faster thinking.

2. It Activates Both Sides of the Brain: Unlike a calculator, which requires no thinking, abacus training engages both hemispheres of the brain — logic on the left and creativity on the right. This enhances memory, concentration, and cognitive abilities, enabling kids to supercharge their brain and improve overall brain function.

3. It Improves Focus and Discipline: Using an abacus requires active participation, helping children develop better focus and patience. Unlike screens, which provide instant solutions, the abacus encourages logical thinking and persistence.

4. It Makes Learning Maths Fun: Many children struggle with numbers, but the abacus makes maths a hands-on experience. The movement of beads turns calculations into a game, building confidence and reducing maths anxiety.

The Final Showdown: Abacus vs Calculator

Hearing the conversation, the parent smiled and said, “The calculator is fast, but your little sibling’s brain is even faster — and getting sharper every day. The abacus helps them supercharge their brain.” The 7-year-old nodded thoughtfully. “Maybe I should learn the abacus too.” And so, in the middle of an ordinary afternoon, the siblings discovered an extraordinary lesson: the greatest calculator is the human brain — especially when trained with the abacus to supercharge your brain.

Would you rather have your child rely on a calculator or train their brain to be the ultimate calculator?

If we don't stop calling it "intelligence" it's going to kill us.

Everyone in this article is treating an algorithmic sorting device that pukes out the average of what you've fed it as either a simple tool (like a calculator) that performs repetitive tasks accurately, or a being with agency. And no in between.

My brain is fried, I've been fighting a malfunctioning website all day (which also has an AI option now!) and I just had to add a disclaimer asking people to please not feed my work to an AI. I've about had it.

AI is deciding how much staff a Canadian hospital will need! Based on what criteria? Well, they know they feed it information about the weather and the traffic and local events and it spits out a schedule. How? That, they don't know. That part's proprietary, it belongs to whoever built the damn thing. And no one seems to care.

Hospitals around here have been criminally understaffed for a very long time. What does that data sample look like? Well, there are a lot of people waiting 18 hours or more for care and many of them die, so that seems like the status quo! How did they correct for that? Did they correct for it? How about the part where certain people get substandard care or none at all?

"Learn how to use AI" seems to mean "learn how to push buttons on a black box programmed and curated by a corporation with no accountability." At the very least, these algorithms codify our biases uncritically, and nobody with human judgment is minding their decision-making process. "Learn how to fact-check AI" does not seem to be on the table. "Learn how to correct AI" is similarly absent.

Just use it. Like a calculator. You don't need to correct a calculator! Well, the more complex and opaque its calculations get, the more likely you do need to correct it.

Learn how to use it or risk losing your job. What a way to put it. Your money and your life. This thing is better at making money and products than you are! Yeah, no shit. It acts like a slave. But, previously, we've enslaved people with agency. These babies don't have that problem! They only act like they do sometimes because they're piggybacking off the sum total of our behaviour. All the good, and the bad, and the completely fucking irrational, and they can't tell the difference. Do we do it a lot? Then they'll give us more of the same!

It's just more automation! But it's not, because it's automating what we do, as if all of our actions are as necessary and rational as 1+1=2. We do some really self-destructive things we need to stop doing. If we bake that behaviour into our devices and get rid of the human beings capable of learning and growing, where do we go from there?

Do you like where we are now? Do you want it forever?

I think Daniela does know math, because I won't believe Alcina didn't teach her daughters at least basics of it :p But she really struggles at it. Like, she needs to focus really hard on even simplest things. So Max counting shit in his head like that is really impressive to her)

Meanwhile Sarah doesn't know math. Just at all. Can't even count beyond a 100. Simply because she was a peasent girl in 1600 America and never got proper education. So to her whatever her partners do with numbers is equal witchcraft.

Unrelated, but Bela is probably great at math. Like she does some complex counting in her head.

Cassandra isn't as good, but she can efficently use Abacus.

Fair. It's not that Daniela can't do math, it's just that anything beyond simple addition/subtraction she really needs to focus on/write it down. Max being able to make sense of random numbers in his head just baffles her.

Meanwhile Sarah was raised by her two sisters in a peasant town. I'm willing to believe Winifred and Mary had some form of education, like I would believe they would know basic math to an extent. And obviously Winnie can read. But Sarah? It's a miracle if this girl can spell her own name.

To be fair, it isn't as if the Village has any formal education. So the fact Max can even do math beyond basics is kind of impressive. (I like to think his parents taught him and his siblings and Max just took a lot of interest in it). It's just something not widely taught, unless the parent wants to teach it.

Bela is definitely a math wizard. Of all the things Alcina taught, learning math was probably her best subject. Bela's the type to do math sheets for fun. That and anything science-y, just scratches an itch in her brain. She likes to think. She finds a comfort in it. (She's probably corrected Alcina's math before. Respectfully, of course.)

Cassandra can do math pretty well, she just doesn't care for it. Her interest was always in the biological. How the body works and such. That said, knowing liquid measurements helps quite a lot sometimes.

Also unrelated, Elena can probably do basic math. She was never formerly taught it, but her dad did show her a little of it. (Just enough to help if she ever needed to keep track of money or whatever).

Alcina can obviously do math. She probably had private tortures as a child, considering she grew up as a nobleman. I imagine she's well versed in reading, writing, and arithmetic. It helps greatly with managing her wine business (though she can always have Bela double check the expenses and such.)

Mia can also do math pretty well. I mean, she literally worked in a science field, math is a huge part of science. She's a big fucking nerd. Granted, she probably can't do it as well as before. I imagine all the trauma and mold fucked her up pretty bad mentally. But she still has moments of being really smart and showing actual prowess. (And it always surprises people)

And Melony can't do math for shit. With how she was raised, it's probably a miracle she can read and write. (Mind you it's probably weaker than it should be for someone her age. Like if she tried to read out loud she'd struggle). She tends to just let Cass do the math if she ever needs it. She is quite fascinated with the abacus, though, and tends to mess with it when no one's around.

Doesn't understand anything about how the hell it helps with math, though.

Soroban

A friend sent me a soroban for Christmas.

(Pictured: a soroban, reading "5" all the way across because I forgot to reset it before taking the picture.)

The soroban, or "Japanese abacus," is used in several countries (not just Japan) for rapid, accurate calculations. While a lot of schools have abandoned the abacus except in early childhood education, Japan still teaches entire classes on using it.

Watching people speed-math on this thing is truly impressive. Here's a seven year old girl adding 12-digit numbers as fast as they can be read to her. Poke around YouTube, and you'll find other videos of people mathing even faster.

When I told my friend about being obsessed with the abacus (but not allowed to touch it) in first grade, I expected to get a primary school abacus. Instead, I got this. And I'm not sorry, because this is much cooler.

Reasons my dyscalculic brain likes the soroban:

I don't actually have to do mental math.

"Not doing mental math" includes never having to read a number one way but math it the other way. All numbers are inserted and read on the soroban from left to right.

If the beads are moved correctly, the answer is correct.

It's easy to move beads correctly because I can both feel and see whether they are right or not.

Moving beads correctly requires one to have memorized number bonds from 1-5 and 1-10 - especially in subtraction. But even here, I don't have to deal with the symbols for numbers as long as I know what the beads are supposed to look like.

For instance, my brain doesn't have to deal with "10 = 6 - 4." To add 4, I can just see that I don't have enough beads in my ones column, move a 10, and subtract 6 from the ones. I know I'm right without counting if I move the top bead and one bottom bead. Done.

For me, the soroban solves the problem I have with calculators. Calculators still require number symbols (like "4") to make sense - which they do not always do. Sometimes my brain just rejects that input. ("Ensign 9 is not on the Enterprise." "Where did he go?" "Please restate the question.")

The soroban doesn't. I have to know what the beads look and feel like, not what arcane picture humanity's ancestors drew to represent it. That helps me calculate. It helps a lot.

I have no plans to become a speed math wizard on this thing. But it'd be cool if I could reliably do my own taxes with it.

Is Abacus Only Mental Maths Practice or a Skill to Be Learned for Life?

Abacus Maths learning is far from being mere mental maths practice; it is a useful skill that can be a boon for life. Learning abacus maths sharpens one’s abilities in mental maths, concentration, and problem-solving. With time, one develops a better number sense and it boosts memory. It may start as a practice to improve maths, but it benefits way beyond enriching other facets of cognitive development. Here are five such reasons that show working on the abacus is a great mental maths practice that might turn out to be a skill for life.

👉 https://supermathsapp.com/home/register

1. Abacus for Improvement of Mental Maths Practice:

The abacus is a hands-on technique that not only makes maths fun but also helps in developing essential cognitive skills that translate to better overall academic performance. Learning abacus maths works wonders by improving mental maths in kids by engaging their minds in visual and tactile learning. As children practice with the Abacus, they enhance their ability to perform quick and accurate calculations and strengthen their memory.

2. Better Concentration and Focus:

Learning abacus maths is a great way to boost concentration in kids by requiring them to focus on bead movements and calculations simultaneously. This dual engagement of visual and tactile senses helps sharpen their attention span and trains their mind to stay focused on tasks.

3. Enhances Memory and Visualization:

While operating the abacus, one often visualizes the beads and their act of motion in the mind’s eye. Such mental maths practice makes one’s memory stronger and one’s spatial visualization skills sharper, along with all other mental processes associated with such varied activities as remembering a phone number or working out project plans, more effective.

4. Develop a person with patience and perseverance:

Learning abacus maths operations requires much time and effort; hence, it teaches and guides a person with the notion of patience and perseverance throughout the process of hiccups and gradual improvement in skills. These are very important qualities leading to success, be it in learning a new hobby or moving up the overall academic performance.

5. Universal and Timeless Skill:

Abacus maths is timeless, going back hundreds of years and stretching across cultures. Learning to work with an abacus tool relates a kid to the rich history of the mathematical tradition and offers them a universal skill that one can enjoy anywhere in the world.

Abacus Maths is a valuable tool for mental maths practice, offering a wide range of benefits that often extend far beyond basic mathematical calculations, positively impacting various aspects of life.
