For many Nigerian children, mathematics is the most dreaded subject in school.
The sight of numbers alone can trigger anxiety, tears, and a deep sense of “I can’t do this.” Sadly, this fear often limits their academic potential and even their self-esteem.
But what if we told you there’s a proven way to transform that fear into confidence and excitement?
That’s exactly what abacus learning does — and it’s changing how children across Nigeria see maths.
The Abacus Turns Numbers into a Fun Game
Children love play. When maths feels like play, learning becomes easy.
The abacus uses colorful beads and finger movement, which turn abstract numbers into something they can see, touch, and move.
At SIMA Abacus, we’ve seen children who once disliked numbers suddenly look forward to class — because the abacus makes maths fun, visual, and interactive.
Confidence Grows Through Repetition and Mastery
Each abacus exercise strengthens a child’s focus and memory. As they solve more problems mentally, their brain gets faster, and their accuracy improves.
This daily sense of achievement builds their self-confidence step by step.
One of our students, Favour, once struggled to answer simple addition questions. After three months of abacus training, she now solves large sums mentally — with joy and pride.
From Fearful to Fearless — The Power of Mental Maths
When children can solve complex problems in seconds — without a calculator — it gives them a sense of power.
They begin to believe, “I’m good at maths.” And that belief changes everything.
This mental confidence spills over into other subjects too — English, science, and even public speaking — because the brain becomes sharper, more focused, and self-assured.

Conclusion: Every Child Can Be a Maths Champion

At SIMA Abacus, we’ve seen it happen hundreds of times — and your child could be next.
