    The child applies the learning skills while studying academic subjects like science, social studies, language, maths, etc. The child performs well in mathematics and all other subjects. Mental arithmetic skills improve a lot. Fear of numbers (if at all it exists) vanishes. The child will find learning a fun activity.
     

  • Does the child improve only in maths or in other subjects too?

    The child shows remarkable improvement in all the subjects including maths.
     

  • Is there any conflict between school method and abacus method?

    No, there is no conflict. This is because, we don’t teach mathematics in our abacus training. Arithmetic is used only as a language and Abacus is used only as a tool. The child learns mathematics in school. We insist in our class rooms that the child necessarily has to follow the procedures taught in class.
