Abacus

Mental arithmetic you can picture

Children learn to calculate on a physical abacus, then picture it — arriving at answers mentally, quickly, and without a calculator.

What your child learns

  1. Bead values and finger technique
  2. Addition and subtraction at speed
  3. Multiplication and division on the frame
  4. Visualising the abacus without touching it

How we teach it

The frame is a stage, not the destination. Once a child can move beads accurately, we take the abacus away and ask them to picture it. That mental image is what makes the arithmetic fast — and it is also why abacus practice tends to improve concentration generally.

We assess every child before we place them, so they start in the right place.

What changes

  • Calculates mentally, faster than before
  • Holds numbers in mind while working
  • Sits longer at a single task

Every child progresses at their own pace. We track it and tell you honestly how it is going.
