The abacus has a unique quality that makes math comprehensible. It provides children with a concrete understanding of numbers and the reasoning behind mathematical solutions. Abstract concepts often baffle young minds, and research from University College London indicates that children may struggle with abstract ideas until around the age of 9 or 10. During these critical early years of education, relying solely on memorization can limit their true grasp of mathematics. Abacus math activities, however, bridge this gap by allowing children to make sense of numbers.

2. About UCMAS
• UCMAS (Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic System) – an ISO 9001: 2008 certified
course, is a unique child development program that was founded in Malaysia by Dr Dino
Wong.
• The first UCMAS centre opened its doors in 1993 in Malaysia based on the simple premise:
Provide quality ‘Abacus and Mental Math Training’ to children in the age group of 5-13
years and help them ‘Discover the Genius Within’.
• UCMAS is a globally recognized and scientifically proven, child development program
based on Mental Math and Abacus for children aged 5-13 years.
• Legions of students registered for this program and over the years UCMAS developed as
an international concept offering this wonderful program, worldwide.
• UCMAS is a unique and scientifically-proven abacus math learning program designed for
children to develop their latent mental power at a very early age when brain development is
reaching its peak.
3. • An ancient tool that has retained its value for several centuries despite the
advance of technology must be pretty good right?
• The abacus has been used for centuries to teach the fundamentals of
numbers and is now being used all over the globe to train young minds in
mathematics and rapid mental math.
• The main advantage of learning the abacus early on is that it can significantly enhance
brain power by improving the brain skills of children early on. When children learn to use an
abacus, they use both their hands and a tool with beads to calculate numbers. It is widely
believed that the movement of beads using their fingers activates their brain sensors.
Enrolling your children in an abacus learning center early on can transform them into
human calculators, mathematicians, and even magna cum laude graduates later on!

5. • For many kids, math isn’t the most thrilling subject, but there
are effortless approaches to spark their interest and cultivate a
genuine love for mathematics. Discover why parents are
turning to Blended Learning to enhance their children’s
mathematical journey.
6. Abacus: Where Math Becomes Clear
• The abacus has a unique quality that makes math comprehensible. It
provides children with a concrete understanding of numbers and the
reasoning behind mathematical solutions. Abstract concepts often
baffle young minds, and research from University College London
indicates that children may struggle with abstract ideas until around
the age of 9 or 10. During these critical early years of education, relying
solely on memorization can limit their true grasp of mathematics.
Abacus math activities, however, bridge this gap by allowing children
to make sense of numbers.
7. Abacus: Where Math Becomes Clear
• Abacus students not only compute answers but also understand
why those answers are correct. This clarity equips them to identify and
rectify errors, fostering an eagerness to learn new concepts.
8. Building Math Confidence
• Abacus mental math training instills confidence in students,
making their school math journey smoother and more
enjoyable. The difference between children who have received
mental math abacus training and those who haven’t is truly
remarkable. Teachers often notice not only improved
mathematical abilities but also a shift in how these students
approach math problems.
9. 2. Memory Enhancement Through Abacus
• Many seasoned educators have observed that students
frequently review math concepts immediately before exams
only to forget them afterwards. However, abacus mental math
training addresses this issue by reinforcing memory in two
significant ways.
• First, students no longer need to memorize arithmetic
answers or solution steps because they consistently follow the
same process.
10. 2. Memory Enhancement Through Abacus
• Second, the abacus provides a concrete visual representation of
problem-solving, enhancing students’ understanding of how numbers
and problems interact. As a result, they no longer rely on short-term
memory for solutions. Instead, they store their skills in long-term
memory, readily accessible whenever needed.
• Unlike non-abacus students who often forget math concepts after
exams, abacus students retain their knowledge, reducing memory-
related stress.
11. 3. Abacus for Lifelong Learning
Another common issue highlighted by educators is the transition from
hands-on math manipulation in younger grades to abstract
calculations as numbers grow larger. However, the abacus uniquely
supports students as they tackle increasingly complex numbers
throughout their academic journey.
• The ability to visualize numbers remains a valuable skill, especially as
students confront larger numerical challenges. Manipulating
physical objects like blocks or pennies becomes impractical, but the
abacus remains a powerful tool for handling bigger numbers.
12. • Furthermore, abacus-trained students excel in higher-level math, including word
problems, algebra, fractions, geometry, and ratios. This versatile tool is the key to
mathematical success.
• These 3 advantages only scratch the surface of abacus education’s benefits. The
confidence and enthusiasm it instills in children are invaluable and last a lifetime.
• Within just a few weeks of mental math abacus learning, we’ve witnessed
remarkable transformations in toddlers, as they gain an understanding of math
that often surpasses high school levels. Don’t wait until high school; the benefits
of the abacus continue throughout a child’s life, opening doors to countless
opportunities. Unlock your child’s potential today with early math activities at
UCMAS!
