THE PROGRAM

​​Abacus is a tool which will set up students for mental math. Once students can comfortably add one digit and two digit numbers on the abacus, they will learn how to do the same method but in their heads! After more lessons, students can also learn subtraction, multiplication, and division.

  • Catered to the student: each student can learn at their own pace and level

  • Fun and engaging! Students will earn fun prizes and play games to further their learning

  • Homework: Light homework will be given to further their learning, especially if they want to learn faster

Benefits of Learning Mathgik

Fast Calculation Skills

Of course, students will learn how to calculate very fast both on the abacus and in their minds. This will help students solve other math problems quicker as well by cutting down on calculation time!

Confidence in Math

By learning fast mental math, students will become more confident in their math skills! With the teacher's continual encouragement, as well as the supportive environment of other young learners, students gain confidence in their skills.

Visualization

Mental math relies a lot on the visualization of an abacus (also known as "virtual abacus") and moving the beads in your mind. Once students get a hang of this technique, their visualization skills improve dramatically.

Memory

In order to do mental math, students must memorize certain images and numbers. By repeating this often, it strengthens one's memory skills.

Concentration

Concentration is necessary to solving the problems and staying engaged during the hour long lesson. This helps them build concentration in an academic setting while also having fun!
