What is the apt Age for learning Abacus?

• The greatest growth of the human brain is during 4 to 14 years old whereby during this period, the frequency of the brain waves increase gradually from theta (relaxing stage) to the alpha level (relax but conscious). Children in the alpha level are full of imagination and have quicker learning ability.

• According to an analysis on the development of nervous tissues, the development and growth of the nervous system begins from 4 to 6 years old with the quickest speed

Indian Abacus has entered the India Book of Records,

Asia Book of Records and Assist World Records

For having invented the First Digital Abacus (Digital & Non Digital versions) By

Mr. N. Basheer Ahamed, Managing Director & CEO.,

Objective: • Indian Abacus product and program is to

enhance the brain power of the children through image memory.

• Remove the fear of Mathematics by making the arithmetic calculations easier.

What is an Abacus?

Abacus (plural abaci or abacuses), is a counting frame, used as a calculating tool.

i.e., Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division

Abstract numbers are converted to concrete images / pictures which helps children to understand numbers, number concepts and basic operations easily.

How abacus works

• Abacus is in existence for more than 2300 Years. The generic tool - Abacus was developed and used for centuries.

• Lack of focus on improvements required made it to continue in the old design.

• Student inherited slow phase of skill development and parents were restless.

Abacus

Abacus Calculations

Abacus was the first known tool in history which aided Learning Numbers & to Calculate ADD or SUBTRACT

Using Abacus Tool, it is easier & quicker for the child to Learn Number concepts

ABACUS evolved from the MOST PRIMITIVE STAGE of “A Sand & Pebble Pallet / Tablet to today’s ONE – by - FOUR Beads Tool.

Abacus Calculations

Two – by - Five – Beads Abacus though served the purpose went out of usage – due to:

• More beads – more operations for a given sum• Better Finger dexterity required• Found less smooth for manipulation

Abacus Calculations

One – by - Four – Beads Abacus

Stayed & did the magic of giving the Toolthe status of

“Tool for Calculations”

Stayed for Centuries (More than any other form of Abacus) Because

The Tool was found to have the potential to do Calculations with accuracy

And also Mental Calculations with Considerable Speed

One – by - Four – Beads Abacus

One – by - Four Beads AbacusHowever was not developed further

Myopia prevailed in product development

History of Abacus• It is a very ancient tool and was used widely by many

worldwide.• The Chinese Abacus is called Suanpan. The documentary

evidence is said to lead to the use of Abacus in China to 2nd century BC.

• Japan used only the imported Abacus from China in the 14th century. In Japanese, the abacus is called SOROBON.

• Even in these days of electronic Calculators, abacus is in use in Japan and the Abacus is used in the primary Schools of Japan to develop mental arithmetic skills.

Abacus in Indian Soil• Abacus was first introduced by the Group Company

of Indian Abacus in the year 1999• The Company gave Abacus Education to more than

10 Lakhs children through 3000 Teachers• Conducted number of Live Demo with trained

children and National Level Competitions, created many records and accomplished many achievements.

Why Abacus? • The Abacus is not only a calculating tool. • the Abacus programme is to enhance the brain power

upgrading the brain skills of the children of age group 5 to 13 years.

• Remove the fear of mathematics by making the arithmetic calculations easier.

• Abacus education, not only improves the mathematics and creates interest in mathematics, it also helps to improve overall academic skill and helps to tackle the day-to-day challenges.

Emergence of Indian Abacus

It was realized that the Beads-Abacus tool which was supposed to strengthen Visual Learning mode in the initial Learning was falling short in its delivery, as the images in the Abacus are:• Crowded – distracting matrix of images• Value not shown isolated as an image• Stimulus – feeble & in-effective for image registry in

memory

Indian AbacusFor Total Learning – faster - easier & stress-free

Indian Abacus Tool designed and featured to provide:

• Visual - friendly back ground• Emergence of Colour images for values

• Effective Learning – No stress

The newly invented Indian Abacus device is a highly advanced version tool and of the state-of-the-art in design. The invented product versions take the Abacus device to a level unseen and unheard of so far.

• Colourfull & Attractive • Robust & Easy to use

Why Indian Abacus?

Why Indian Abacus?

In which way this Abacus can be improved to help the students attain the most speed with accuracy and attain the skills?

Inventor realized that Visualisation is the first and major skill to be developed by the child as the old Abacus provided a dull picturisation

Why Indian Abacus?

an Indian Abacus with sliders moving in a hexagonal slots projecting bright green and red colour images which will go deep into the memory of the Abacus Learning child, with ease and stress free.

• As illustrated above, the Indian Abacus, or abacus, is a calculating instrument with a number of counting slider / beads that slide back and forth along column / rods.

• A crosswise bar (center bar) divides the Indian Abacus into two parts. The upper part consists of a row of the five - value slider / beads and the lower part consists of four rows of the one - value slider / beads. Every single slider / bead above the bar has the value of “Five" and the beads below the bar have the value of “One" respectively.

• The columns toward the left always have higher values than those toward the right.

• Dots are to be used to indicate the unit point • of numbers or a decimal point.

Skill development program for children aged 5 – 13 yearsThis newly Invented Colorful Indian Abacus device is used by the children to pursue arithmetic calculations like Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & Division. Colour Images help in easier, faster and stress - learning due to effective stimulus, impression & Memory

Special Features of Indian AbacusIndian Abacus Old Abacus

Colour of Frame: Light cream colour- the best background for the colour images of the value positions – Green and Red. Light cream colour -very friendly to the eyes.

The colour of the Frame and the beads are darkish and contrast back ground

Sliders/Beads: The value positions and non-value positions are clearly defined through colour / no colour images. Hence the accuracy at the maximum speed of calculation is possible

The value positions and non-value positions are not clearly defined and hence the accuracy suffers. Stress results due to the deficiency


Abacus at Zero position: In the Indian Abacus, the slider positions showing colours are the value positions and the slider positions which sink with cream background are considered as non-value positions. An Indian Abacus Zero position is logically possible when the sliders are closed / hidden

Zero position is not possible here because of the dull colour of the beads and always visible

Fixing the image: The sliders stay put in the positions when the Indian Abacus is vertically viewed while working and values don’t get distorted

The beads fall down and the values change while viewing the Abacus with value in a vertical position


Time saving in the class: The Teacher can identify / verify the answers from her place when the answers are shown by the students because of the sliders did not fall hence the students are able to do more sums

The Same is not possible here because of the fall of the beads

Colour and non-Colour position: The colour and non-colour positions of slider positions remove the confusions and the disturbing view. The features mean either value or no value positions which are clear and understanding & memory registry are easier.

The beads are homogenous / uniform in colour and therefore distinction between the value and non value beads is very difficult. Further the non value beads tend to disturb the vision and the abacus practitioner has a blurred vision of the value beads and the values


Digital Abacus and e-learning: Indian Abacus company has developed (with added features to the current version) the Indian Abacus-Digital using which the children can learn the skills operating manually and also working simultaneously connecting to the e-learning site.The e-learning of this whole process is aimed to reach large number of children in any corner to learn the Abacus skills anytime

Manual operation only available. No digital Abacus and e-learning


Error free calculation: Sliders are chosen to hide and unhide the colour images (Red and Green) displayed for specific values. Visualization and image memory are 100%.

Beads and background are of close colours (Brown and Black) and there is no differentiation

Firm Answers: Sliders are stable and firm and answers will be perfect

All the beads are unstable and shaky hence the wrong answers possible

Special Features of Indian Abacus and Comparison with old Abacus

Indian Abacus: Colour of Frame - Light cream colour- the best background for the colour images of the value positions – Green and Red. Light cream colour -very friendly to the eyes.

Old Abacus: The colour of the Frame and the beads are darkish and contrast back ground

Sliders / Beads: Sliders are chosen to hide and unhide the value positions, displayed through the colour images (red and green). Visualization / Photographic memory possible at its best. The images are of bright and contrast colours. There is absolute clarity and the stress free learning

Beads and background are of constant colours and there is no differentiation, which is the biggest weak point in this version of abacus. Photographic / visualization not so strong and much stress to eyes felt by children.

Indian Abacus: Abacus at Zero position: In the Indian Abacus, the slider positions showing colours are the value positions and the slider positions which sink with cream background are considered as non-value positions. An Indian Abacus Zero position is logically possible when the sliders are closed / hidden

Special Features of Indian Abacus and Comparison with old Abacus

What is the apt Age for learning Abacus?• According to an analysis on the development of nervous

tissues, the development and growth of the nervous system begins from 4 to 6 years old with the quickest speed

• The progression slows down after 12 years old when the growth has reached 75%. During the juvenile period, these cells will grow up to 90% of an adult or in other words, the liaison net of the nervous tissue has reached 90%.

Whether Adult can learn Abacus?• Adult can also learn Abacus • The Tutors/Teachers who teach Abacus are all adults

who learn and teach Abacus• The only factor is that the Adult may not be able to

do the Mental Arithmetic as fast as a child performs• The skill levels acquired through Abacus may be less

as compared to a child.

Abacus Mental Arithmetic• The child moves the Sliders in the Physical Abacus to do

arithmetic sums • After 3 level, the Child imagines the Abacus in its mind and

can do Abacus sums without use of the physical Abacus.• The child while doing arithmetic calculations moves the

sliders in the imaginary Abacus and the resultant bright colour image is converted as number and the quick answer comes within few seconds.

Arithmetic computation using Abacus

The Child works on Physical Abacus

for a period of 6 months after which

The abacus is internalized (image of ABACUS)

and computation is thereafter done by Visualization

Why Abacus mental arithmetic• Mental Arithmetic by image of Abacus enables to

compute at a speed which can be compared to that of Maths geniuses and child prodigies.

• They are 6 times more faster than NON ABACUS learners.

• This is apart from the important skills that the program enables.

Mental CalculationThe mental calculation is defined as calculation of number conception and the way of imaging the abacus calculation in brain is called as the mental arithmetic by image of abacus.

In recent years we have been discussing and studying the mental arithmetic by image of abacus which is more advantageous than other skills in the light of the result of examination.

The mental arithmetic by image of abacus means that we calculate on the abacus in our brain without seeing the Physical ABACUS

• VISUALISATION (photographic memory)• CONCENTRATION• LISTENING SKILLS• MEMORY• SPEED• ACCURACY• COMPREHENSION• IMAGINATION

These are the very basic skills mostly needed in children to excel in their Academic Performance.

Effects of Abacus Learning–Research by Scientists• Professor Yuan Yue Min, University of Shandong, China-• -most suitable age -children of 4 to 12 years of age. This age

group belongs to what is often called "the period of enlightenment" and is therefore the best age for cultivating brain functions

• -The learning of zhusuan involves many organs such as the eyes, hands, mouth and brain, which is most appropriate for this period of cultivating and tapping the functions of the brain.

Effects of Abacus Learning – Research by Scientists.

• -Actions such as listening, looking, reading, hands movement, calculating becomes as quick as lightning after learning Mental Arithmetic. As so, this training is highly for suitable all aural, visual, mental and physical development of children.

Research shows that a child's mental growth is most rapid before the age of 12. The degree of mental development achieved by a child by this time has a great influence over his/her future. A child who received good mental formation by this age will continue to remain brilliant even to the age of 70. Whereas a child who lacks this formation will experience a sharp decline in mental abilities even as early as the age of 20.

Effects of Abacus Learning–Research by Scientists( contd…)• Ms. Shizuko Amaiwa, Professor, Shinshu University, Faculty of

Education• Abacus study not only improves the ability to calculate both

on the abacus and mentally, but also provides a beneficial ripple effect on other disciplines

• 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

Whether the Abacus Education will help academic performance?

• The main benefit is whole brain development through abacus education resulting in Visualisation, increased concentration, listening skill and enhanced memory the abacus education plays a complimentary role to better the academic performance

• It gives self confidence and self reliance

• Abacus math program complements and supplements the arithmetic approaches adopted in schools, and helps students to overcome the fears of mathematics and gain confidence

Whether the Abacus Education will help academic performance?

Why Abacus Skill is a life time skill?• The Indian Abacus Mental Arithmetic Programme enhances the

VISUALISATION, CONCENTRATION and LISTENING SKILLS and ensures SPEED and ACCURACY,

• Through the learning process the power of IMAGINATION, INNOVATION, CREATIVITY, ANALYTICL SKILL and PROBLEM SOLVING CAPACITY increases

• All these skills makes the child SELF CONFIDENT and SELF RELIANT and the child practise these skills all through the life

• These brain skills help them to excel in their studies, pursue great career opportunities later and become leaders.

• Hence the Abacus Skill can rightly be termed as the life time skill.
