In today’s digital age, calculators and smartphones may be everywhere, but SIMA Abacus believes in harnessing something far more powerful—your child’s natural brainpower. Our Soroban Intelligent Mental Arithmetic (SIMA) program combines ancient abacus wisdom with modern neuroscience, helping children perform mental calculations faster than calculators while strengthening their cognitive abilities across the board (SIMA Abacus & Mental Maths Academy).
Why Traditional Learning Isn’t Enough
Many children today can use gadgets before they can add 2 + 3 in their head. This dependence on devices creates a mental shortcut that diminishes reasoning, memory, and focus—and it’s a trend SIMA Abacus aims to reverse (SIMA Abacus & Mental Maths Academy, sima-abacus.com).
The SIMA Abacus Advantage: More Than Just Numbers
Whole-Brain Activation
Our unique both-hand methodology maximizes neurological stimulation by engaging both brain hemispheres simultaneously—logical reasoning, creativity, memory, and concentration all benefit in equal measure (sima-abacus.com).
Memory You Can Bank On
By physically manipulating abacus beads and mentally visualizing their movement, children reinforce neural connections and dramatically improve memory retention, recall speed, and mental stamina (sima-abacus.com).
Laser-Focus and Mental Discipline
Abacus training demands attention and accuracy. Every session helps children build sustained focus—skills that transfer into academics, reading comprehension, and beyond (SIMA Abacus & Mental Maths Academy).
Academic Ripple Effect
Research and parent feedback consistently show that the benefits of SIMA go beyond math: children show marked improvement in literacy, science, and other subjects, thanks to sharper concentration and better information retention (SIMA Abacus & Mental Maths Academy).
Real Impact: Transforming Struggle into Strength
Consider the child who once dreaded maths and now mentally crunches complex sums like:
- 328 + 467 – 158
- 637 × 4
- (198 + 345) × 2
and does it faster than a calculator. And it’s not just about speed, it’s about renewed confidence and a lifelong love of learning (SIMA Abacus & Mental Maths Academy).
What Makes SIMA Abacus Unique
- Custom red‑green color-coded abacus designed for optimal engagement and cognitive stimulation (SIMA Abacus & Mental Maths Academy).
- Fully developed curriculum combining abacus, flash cards, digital ANZAN, and e-learning tools for both visual and kinesthetic learners (sima-abacus.com).
Who Can Benefit?
Designed for children aged 3 to 13, SIMA Abacus supports learners at every stage—from early number comprehension to high-speed mental calculation mastery (sima-abacus.com).
How It Works
- Start with the physical abacus—hands-on counting and bead movement.
- Transition to mental abacus (Anzan) exercises to build visualization and mental mapping skills.
- Use flash cards and digital drills for memory, speed, and accuracy.
- Celebrate progress through challenges and cumulative drills that reward confidence and growth.
