Learning mental arithmetic has many benefits, including improved concentration, enhanced memory and cognitive abilities, and increased confidence in math. Mental arithmetic is also a useful skill for daily life, helping students to make quick and accurate calculations without the need for a calculator.
At Abakus School, we believe that mental arithmetic is a key component of a comprehensive math education, and we offer a range of courses designed to help students develop this important skill.
At Abakus School, we use a unique teaching methodology that combines a teacher’s instruction, practice exercises, and interactive games to help students develop their math skills. Our experienced teachers work closely with each student to identify their strengths and weaknesses and tailor the instruction to their individual needs.
We also use cutting-edge technology and digital resources to provide a dynamic and engaging learning experience for our students. With our unique teaching methodology, we are confident that we can help students of all ages and skill levels improve their math abilities.
At Abakus School, we offer a Mental Arithmetic course designed to help students of 5-12 years old to develop their math abilities.
The methodology of Abakus Math includes sections devoted to the development of mathematical and creative thinking and the consolidation of 21st century skills:
The program of mental arithmetic classes consists of:
Kids learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
During training exercises on the abacus, fine motor skills develop and the development of interhemispheric connections is stimulated.
Thanks to the technical exercise on the abacus, the speed of thinking increases, while perseverance and concentration develop.
At Abakus School, our mission is to provide high-quality educational services that empower individuals to achieve their full potential. We believe that every student has unique strengths and challenges, and our goal is to create personalized learning.

Mental Arithmetic is a tested way of developing a child’s academic abilities and creative thinking in a balanced way, allowing them to reach their full intellectual potential. It’s more than learning how to count fast. Mental arithmetic leads to:
• A powerful visual and auditory memory
• Increased concentration
• Resourcefulness
• Innovative problem-solving methods
• Improved thought processes
At the beginning of the course, an abacus is used to learn the counting techniques. Later, children learn to do calculations in their head by forming a mental image of a number on the abacus and are able to do all mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) with any numbers in mind.
