Indian Abacus

You must have heard of ABACUS technique for children for fast calculations. What is the future scope of ABACUS?? Is it worth to start an Abacus centre?

Abacus technique for children for fast calculations

 

Abacus is a counting frame, used as a calculating tool. It is used for basic calculation such as addition, subtraction,  multiplication and division. The concept of Mental Arithmetic through image of Abacus was introduced in India in 1999 to train the children of the age group 5 years to 13 years in doing Mental Arithmetic by using Abacus tool. The tool that made revolution in countries like China,  Japan, Korea and other East Asian countries.  Abacus which enabled image based arithmetic computation possible, later got internalized in the mind of the child and with the mental Abacus ( imagined abacus) the child still did work on the mental abacus, which made the child do 6 -7 times faster than conventional method, of course with much practice.

 

We had in the year 2012 invented / developed the new generation Indian Abacus devices with children friendly features, advantages and benefits, which are state-of-the-art in design and features.  The Indian Abacus products are:

 

1. Indian Abacus – Non-digital and Digital for students
2. Indian Abacus – Non-digital Digital for Tutors / Teacher

 

The purpose of our efforts to develop the Indian Abacus was to make the learning of the skills by children – easier, faster and stress-free. As you would be aware, Abacus based calculations done using the physical abacus following the methodology & program syllabus together with methodical practice for a period of six 6 months enables the children to internalize the ‘Abacus and its sliders’ mentally and do the calculations – as a mind-math.  The speed at which the trained children do accurate calculations will be amazing, as it beats even the speed of calculations done using calculator.  The brain skills – high level concentration & memory through visualization & listening which are enhanced through this training using Indian Abacus, would be distinctly visible. Additionally the First ever the Indian Abacus projects color images when the sliders are moved during calculations – providing better stimulus, image registry and hence results in better visualization, easy & faster learning in a stress-free manner.  Both Kinesthetic and Visual learning are possible in the usage of the Indian Abacus. The tool is not only improving the children arithmetical calculations but also the overall brain developments skills. The need and the possibility through learning, practicing and mastering of image manipulation to do sums involving multiple digits and rows in seconds expose the unique CONCENTRATION skills of the children.

 

Impact of the Abacus based Mental Arithmetic learning

 

Impact of the Abacus based Mental Arithmetic learning  very insignificantly hits the children's basic education; hence the highly valuable benefits are going to be available to the base-of-the-pyramid population (school going children) more than anybody else, since the demand for the skills is more quantum from this segment.  The very encouraging factor here is that since the private and government schools are adopting the Abacus program as part of the school subjects, the reaching of the benefits of the program more. The Subject – Coaching in Abacus based calculations – is therefore highly relevant, important and urgent need for all the children as it is going to transform them totally, which means that our future generation will be better equipped with their brain skills – a primary requisite. 

 

Today Abacus based calculation skills are known to most of the young parents, educationists, school managements and hence the market potential in an ideal situation is – every child is a student, which means that if there are 10% of the Indian population, say 12.5 crores, all the children are ideally eligible students of Abacus based calculation skills who could be enormously benefited out of the skills that they learn.  Since market in India itself is very high, scope is very huge and the impact if all inputs are properly lined up – in crores of children learning the skills not only in India but also other countries. The great positive impact that the children will be benefited from in terms of their Mathematical and Mental abilities will be something very big that we can achieve.

Indian Abacus has launched its newly invented state-of-the-art Indian Abacus devices and the program with international standard course materials to make the children of the age group – 5 to 13 years, benefit much more than ever before. Indian Abacus products and the program are the result of 14 years of background research using which the promoters of the company gained invaluable knowledge and experience. All of these have gone into the development of the devices (Indian Abacus) and the program. We will be happy to serve you with these product-offerings and the program of international standard. The Indian Abacus is an educational counting tool for learning to do fast and accurate mental arithmetic, more particularly it helps in enhancing their brain skills such as CONCENTRATION, VISUALIZATION (PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY) by activating the right brain, the seat of intelligence. The present invention introduces a tool which can display color image representing any value by moving the sliders up and down. Indian Abacus Company is the first one to offer learning of Abacus Program in the on-line mode. The program designed and offered by the company makes the children understand the concepts easier and faster since visual supports are provided to help in understanding. The children learning would really enjoy ‘anywhere & anytime’ option and find that the On-line program is the best alternative for classroom learning. The tool – Indian Abacus-digital used is advanced in design and features to provide easy, faster and stress free learning and practice possible.

Abacus is a counting frame, used as a calculating tool. It is a very ancient tool and is used in many schools to develop mental arithmetic skills. particularly, the merchants and traders of Asian and African countries and also in other parts of the world. Abacus and its benefits: 1. Arithmetic functions are done using abacus – moving sliders on column which have specific values 2. It is used for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division 3. Calculation in Mental Arithmetic mode by Image of Abacus 4. Abacus based Arithmetic functions, calculations thereof enhance Concentration levels. 5. Calculations done with Abacus, using the fingers of both the hands stimulate the brain – both the Right and Left Brain. 6. Helps kids learn basic number systems 7. Helps Kids understand combinations of five and ten 8. Helps kids visualize the math and develops mental calculations Why Indian Abacus: The Newly invented Indian Abacus help to improve the students attain the most speed with accuracy and brain skills. Research & Development: Indian Abacus Company with its background in the field of Abacus education has been continuously working to do research in the field and develop products and the supporting-accessories to aid the program benefit the children better and better. Abacus as a tool has had a long history of existence. It metamorphosed itself over hundreds of years from the most primitive stage to the stage it had attained the form that we see it today. Mr. Basheer Ahamed CEO., Indian Abacus Pvt. Ltd., steady and continuous flow of efforts going into the Research and Development activities in the field of Abacus as a product impacting to enhance the brain skills in children. Indian Abacus Company spearheading the research and development initiative in the last decade focused on the possibilities to enhance the qualitative features of the Abacus today is a tool more for development of brain skills and it also has a strong appeal through the speed & accuracy in mental arithmetic calculations to excite the people more.
