Abacus is a wonderful tool for mental Arithmetic training that enables a child to do calculations without the aid of any instruments
With Abacus Mental Arithmetic, a child will be able to calculate using with speed and accuracy his/her own mental power, anywhere, anytime. Besides it also helps in Whole Brain development especially the Right half which normally remains underdeveloped.
It provides an opportunity for young kids to advance their intelligence quality at early ages (3-15 years) by learning the mental arithmetic skill through the Abacus techniques. Also prepare the youngsters for better learning on academic mathematics
Learning how to operate an Abacus will improve a child’s calculating ability and his/her Understanding of mathematics. It will increase memory power and concentration of a child.
It encourages the child to give full attention to study by listening more attentively and effectively thus making him more confident and interested in school works (both curricular and extracurricular). His/her creativity and ability to analyze problems .
The ability to do mental calculations is a skill one retains for life. The benefits and rewards are infinite. For example, a natural outcome of being able to do calculations quickly will lead to certain improvements in competitive examinations.

It consists of 12 levels. The 12th level is the novice level, and the 1 is the most advanced. The training takes 2 years to complete. Normally, dramatic improvement in math capability is evident in the 1st year
Creative Math teaches a child mathematical concept & skills which are required through preschool & years beyond.

Abacus is considered the most effective way to initiate math for young children and sharpen math skills for everyone in the 21 century. Because it establishes a clear logical concept of numbers and number placement.

Tell those parents to think in their own terms. Just as the pen hasn't been made obsolete for sighted folks, the pencil and eraser hasn't been replaced by the calculator. The abacus isn't hard to learn, is extremely low maintenance, and reinforces mathematical concepts in young children. Would those parents want a sighted child of theirs learning operations on a calculator only? Besides, it's a great draw for the other kids in the class, especially when they get to the sections in the math course when they have historical and cross-cultural units. My kids always get to demonstrate.

abacus is an ancient educational tool used for fast and accurate calculation.it helps in right brain development and improving overall intelligence.

it also helps to acquire the ability to calculate rapidly and accurately and to calculate mentally Based on the results mentioned above, some advantages and characteristics of abacus learning are revealed. One of the advantages of abacus study is that learners can calculate simple mathematical problems rapidly and accurately. In addition, they acquire the ability of do mental calculation utilizing the abacus image, which allows quick calculation without actually using the abacus. These characteristics show positive ripple effects on the solution of various mathematical problems. On the other hand, the learners' calculation methods become fixed, and the students tend to lack flexibility in thinking out innovative ways to solve problems.It goes without saying that spending time on thinking out new ways to solve problems (such as thinking about the meaning of the calculation or coming up with other ways to solve the problem) can be negative in terms of the amount of time needed to solve problems when the primary goal is rapid and accurate calculation.

so the abacus classes are really beneficial for your child ,thus u should surelt go for it as it will really helpful in his future life......
