Why Your Child’s Brain Is Smarter Than a Calculator — And How SIMA ABACUS Is Unlocking That Power
In today’s fast-paced digital world, technology has become the new teacher. From smartphones to tablets and calculators, our children are surrounded by gadgets. While these tools are helpful, there is a growing concern: Are we raising a generation that can’t think without them?
A recent incident at the SIMA ABACUS office in Lagos highlighted this troubling trend. A graduate applying for a job was unable to subtract 237 – 198 without reaching for a calculator. A simple sum — yet a reflection of a serious educational flaw.
The Problem: Brainpower Is Being Outsourced
Our dependency on calculators and smartphones has created a thinking gap. Children as young as five can operate mobile devices but struggle with basic arithmetic. Instead of nurturing logical reasoning and mental focus, our current system encourages shortcut thinking.
This isn’t just an academic issue — it’s a future workforce crisis. If students can’t perform mental calculations, how can they innovate, problem-solve, or lead in a competitive global environment?
The Solution: SIMA ABACUS Mental Arithmetic Training
At SIMA ABACUS, we believe that every child’s brain is naturally powerful — it just needs the right kind of training. That’s why we specialize in abacus-based mental arithmetic programs for children between the ages of 3 to 13.
Our unique system teaches children to:
- Visualize numbers using the ancient abacus method
- Perform complex calculations faster than a calculator
- Develop left and right brain coordination
- Sharpen concentration, memory, and listening skills
With over a decade of results across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and beyond, we have transformed thousands of children into confident, fast-thinking math wizards.
Real Results: Smarter Kids, Stronger Futures
SIMA ABACUS kids can mentally calculate problems like:
- 328 + 467 – 158 = ?
- 637 × 4 = ?
- (198 + 345) × 2 = ?
And they do it in seconds — without touching a calculator.
More importantly, our students develop confidence, mental discipline, and creativity — qualities that go beyond the classroom.
