From Struggling to Soaring: How SIMA Abacus Transforms Children Who Fear Mathematics

Not every child wakes up excited to solve maths problems. In fact, many of them dread it. I saw it firsthand today.

I visited a friend’s home, and in the middle of our conversation, he sighed and said, “My son is finding mathematics so difficult. He’s slow in learning, and nothing seems to work.”

I looked at the boy—bright eyes, full of curiosity—but behind that spark was a child losing confidence because of numbers. The kind of child who just needs the right key to unlock his full potential.

That’s when I told him about SIMA Abacus.

The Hidden Struggle Children Face

Let’s be honest. The traditional way of teaching maths isn’t working for every child. Many students:

Memorize without understanding
Fear numbers instead of playing with them
Struggle with focus and retention
Feel left behind and lose self-confidence

And unfortunately, when children begin to believe they’re “not good at maths,” that mindset can follow them for life.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

SIMA Abacus: The Game-Changer in Nigerian Education

At SIMA Abacus, we believe every child is born with the capacity to learn, think fast, and master numbers. They just need the right method — one that makes learning fun, visual, and brain-boosting.

That’s exactly what we offer.

We are Nigeria’s leading abacus company, with world-class mental arithmetic programs for children between the ages of 3 and 13. With centers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, our mission is clear: to build smarter, faster, and more confident children — one brain at a time.

Why Our Method Works

Our training uses the ancient tool called the abacus, combined with modern neuroscience to stimulate both the left and right brain of a child.

What that means for your child:

They start seeing numbers in pictures, not just symbols
Their mental speed increases drastically
They solve maths problems faster than a calculator
They develop sharper focus, memory, and confidence

Real Results, Real Impact

Our students are known to mentally solve problems like:

528 + 347 – 169

134 × 3

(126 + 204) × 2

…without ever picking up a calculator.

But more importantly, they become fearless learners — children who believe in their ability to figure things out.
