At SIMA Abacus & Mental Maths Academy, we believe every child has a brilliant mind waiting to be developed. Abacus learning isn’t just about faster arithmetic—it’s about building a smarter brain.
Scientific studies have shown that abacus training helps children activate both the left and right hemispheres of their brain. This unique mental exercise enhances memory, focus, creativity, and problem-solving—skills that prepare children for lifelong success.
Understanding How the Brain Works
The human brain has two sides, each with different strengths:
- Left Brain: Focuses on logic, numbers, and reasoning.
- Right Brain: Manages creativity, imagination, and visual understanding.
Most children use mainly their left brain when learning maths through memorization. But abacus learning is different. It helps children visualize numbers and move beads mentally, allowing both sides of the brain to work together harmoniously.
How Abacus Trains Both Sides of the Brain
Here’s how abacus learning gives the brain a complete workout:
- Visualization (Right Brain):
Children imagine bead movements in their mind, boosting creativity and visualization skills. - Logical Thinking (Left Brain):
While performing calculations, they apply reasoning, sequencing, and analytical thinking. - Memory Connection (Both Sides):
This mental coordination strengthens memory and brain communication pathways, improving overall intelligence.
In simple terms, abacus learners don’t just calculate—they see, feel, and solve problems mentally.
Proven Benefits of Brain-Balanced Learning
Children who train both sides of the brain enjoy benefits that go beyond mathematics:
- Sharper Focus and Concentration
- Faster Problem-Solving Ability
- Improved Academic Performance Across Subjects
- Greater Confidence and Self-Esteem
At SIMA Abacus, we’ve seen these results first-hand. Parents often share how their children become more attentive, confident, and creative after just a few months of abacus training.
What Science Says About It
According to brain-imaging studies, abacus learners activate both hemispheres when solving problems. This means they use visual and spatial regions of the brain, rather than relying only on memory.
The result is a brain that works faster, remembers better, and thinks more creatively.
This is why abacus learners are often more confident not only in maths, but in reading, comprehension, and other subjects as well.
How SIMA Abacus Builds Smarter Minds
At SIMA Abacus, we use a proven, child-friendly approach that makes learning fun, interactive, and deeply engaging.
