In today's world, people expect their children to score good marks rather than making the child understand the subject and score good marks as well. Mathematics has always been considered as the enemy of child as well of parents. This is because a child or a parent does not understand the subject; instead they are mugging it up. And that is the problem with Traditional math.
Traditional math does not consider math as a creative subject but it only looks at it as a logic subject which can only be dealt in a certain method. Abacus redefines the way to study math. Abacus not only helps a child to study math in a perfect way but it also improves the memory of a child giving him/her a photographic recall of everything. Whether it is related to study matter or day to day life activities, a child will remember whatever has been taught.
It can be demonstrated by asking students to remember three- to nine-digit numbers and read aloud and to recite the memorized items orally. Abacus students are found to be superior in the accuracy of their memory and the number of digits they are able to memorize when compared with non-abacus learners of the same age. This is because abacus students place numbers on the abacus image in their head as they mentally calculate with the abacus method.
Another advantage of abacus learning is that there is progress in solving general mathematical problems. And a child will acquire the ability to calculate rapidly and accurately and to calculate mentally too. Some other advantages of abacus are:
To masterarithmetic functionslike Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division correctly, proficiently and systematically.
To significantly Enhance Imaging Skills or Photographic Memory among children so that they discover their lifetime skills by exploring and developing the human brain fully.
To revolutionize child education in India and create large-scale employment opportunities for young entrepreneurs
And with the emergence of institutes like Virtual Academics, teaching of abacus in a proper way has become possible. Virtual Academics has been in the business of Abacus for the past 10 years all over India. The various developmental programs being utilized by Virtual Academics have been meticulously conceived and devised by eminent educationists and researchers. They are not only designed to complement the current school and college curriculum but add ample value to it via various courses and modules to suit the needs of our country's youth.
Future of Abacus
There are people who are considering adapting the principles of abacus to computer software that teaches the concepts of digit position (meaning of zeros in numbers) to mentally challenged children. This will be a massive step by abacus considering its re mergence as a tool to calculate accurately and with speed and as a tool in increasing the memory of child. What else do one need to prove that abacus is better than traditional math?
