What is Abacus?

ABACUS is an instrument to learn mental arithmetic. It is a mathematical tool which is only used to do Mathematic arithmetic calculation like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Abacus Maths helps to develop the right brain of a child. Abacus tool make up of a wooden frame, with row of beads. Abacus can be helpful in the development of your inner abilities like concentration, speed, memory, accuracy and learning ability. Abacus helps to improve the mathematical calculations. With the help of Abacus we can solve the mathematical calculations and problem faster than calculator. The base of Abacus education is Mathematic Calculation; Maths is a practical subject that needs lots of practice. Abacus makes it easy and interesting. It's a proven fact that using Abacus makes your grow.

What is Vedic Maths?

Vedic Maths is the name given to the ancients system of Indian Mathematics which was rediscovered from the vedas between 1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati krsna Tirthaji (1884-1960). According to his research all of mathematics is based on sixteen Sutras, or word formulae. VEDIC MATHS has been a proven course to perform better in Competitive examinations. These formulae describe the way the mind naturally works and are therefore a great help in directing the student to the appropriate method of solution. In the Vedic system 'difficult' problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. These striking and beautiful methods are just a part of a complete system of mathematics which is far more systematic than the modern 'system'. Vedic Maths manifests the coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods are complementary, direct and easy.

What is the Abacus Knowledge Plus Academy Program?

The Abacus Knowledge Academy Program used Advanced Abacus Mental Arithmetic techniques and Brain Gym for proper Brain Development but more importantly overall brain development. Abacus Knowledge Plus Academy students achieve Brain Development by being trained to solve mathematical problems utilizing the abacus. Mathematics is the chosen tool because it specifically stimulates and develops regions of the brain that are crucial to proper learning development. The abacus is a renowned Visio-Spatial tool that is utilized to form mathematical images in a child mind and helps in the development of a number of sensory pathways responsible for creativity, reading, reasoning, observation, conceptualization, and many other benefits associated with brain development.
As the student progresses in each level, they are slowly weaned off the abacus and learn to perform mental calculations that are quick and accurate. Knowledge Plus had Vedic Maths Quick Calculation Program to improve the calculation power for any competitive exams. Handwriting Improvement program to improve Handwriting and Writing Speed. Calligraphy Program to develop captivity.

Why Should I send my child for these Programs?

First off all we would like to tell you this is not just a Math Program. It is a complete Brain Development Program designed by the experts. Although your child will become better in mathematics, this is an additional benefit. The abacus and Vedic Maths is a key tool that is utilized in stimulating the both side of the Brain. Our educational goals are not constrained to mere subjects, rather to provide training that will affect overall learning abilities that lasts a lifetime. This way your child can benefit from addition to algebra to advanced quantum mechanics.

What is the Age Group to start this Program?

The Abacus Knowledge Plus Academy Program is specifically designed for children between the ages of 5-15. It is specifically designed for children between these age ranges because research show that these ages tend to benefit most. The human brain has an amazing capacity to grow and change throughout life. Without the opportunity to be used, neurons can actually wither away and die. Although the brain at any age can be altered or helped to compensate for problems, with the appropriate intensive intervention, for optimal development, timing is critical. There are periods of opportunity, "prime times" during which the brain is particularly efficient at specific types of learning. In the first decade of life, the brain's ability to grow, change and compensate is especially remarkable. The young brain is like a super sponge, absorbing every experience into its neural architecture. During these first few years the brain is storing information and memories that will be the foundation for a lifetime of skills and potential. If this foundation is flawed, it can affect the entire life span of the individual. Early care provides the experiences that have decisive and long lasting effects on the emotional, social, behavioural, intellectual and physical capabilities of the child for the rest of their life.

How long is the Program?

The Abacus Program is taught over 6 levels. Each level represents a new array of concepts and techniques to children. Although each level is taught over the course of 3 months, some children are able to complete the program at a quicker pace while other students need a little more time. From Initiation to Completion (from level 1-6) is approximately two and a half years in length. The first three levels are the most crucial stages of the program. During these stages the child is introduced to the Abacus Mental Arithmetic Program and is taught the concepts and techniques that are crucial to the more advanced latter levels.

How does it build a child's confidence?

When a child is able to solve numbers mentally through our dictation method, through encouragement, through practicing the abacus, through interacting, through play (this are the method we employ when putting a child through our programmers).
