Early childhood is the most crucial growing period of a human life in terms of emotional, intellectual, physical and social development. With that said, no child is the same, and while some children learn better through reading, others learn better through doing – which brings us to the topic of maths!
Let’s be honest, youngsters don’t like maths. In fact most adults loathe it too. Interestingly, many adults feel that if they could have been exposed to a smarter way of learning maths as a child, their outlook would be a far more pleasant one. For most children, maths is extremely difficult and boring, and unless an interest is taken in learning it from a young age, they will always have a love-hate relationship with it. So how do we get children interested in learning maths? One of the best and most successful proven ways in which to make the subject of maths more attractive and interesting is through abacus maths.
An arithmetic method based on the principles of abacus calculation, abacus maths is considered to be one of the fastest ways of calculating and learning maths. Faster than a calculator, not only does abacus maths gift young learners the opportunity to shine in the language of maths from a really young age, but it also provides a solid foundation for learning the language of maths in primary and high school. Besides enhancing the overall comprehension of maths – other important benefits of abacus maths include the following:
- Boosts better and faster calculation skills.
- Increases endurance for stress and pressure.
- Improves problem-solving abilities.
- Teaches clearer logical reasoning.
- Sharpens concentration and observance.

Largely determined by our external environment, rather than our genes, every human has the same chance of maximizing their intelligence. We are all born with an immature brain, which is why using the right learning tools in early childhood development is so important.
