The method

Beads. Picture. Speed.

Why it works: the abacus is a bridge the child eventually stops needing. The frame teaches the hand, the hand teaches the mind, and then the mind goes alone.

01

Beads.

Your child learns to see every number as a pattern of beads. Level by level, arithmetic becomes a hand movement rather than a rule to remember.

02

Picture.

Then the frame goes away. The child pictures the beads and moves them in the mind. This is the visualisation that builds visual memory.

  6. 318 + 92410
  7. 64 + 58122
  8. 195 + 105300
03

Speed.

Finally only the answer remains. Speed Writing and Brain Gym exercises train the hand and the focus to keep up with the mind.

    After the foundation course

    Performance is measured again with questions of similar complexity, using the same proven, pre-defined method.

  3. 03

    The two are compared

    Faster and more accurate arithmetic calculation, before against after. The promise is 5× better performance, or your money back.

The journey
