The abacus — then the mind does the math
Children begin on a real abacus and gradually learn to picture it. Soon they're solving multi-digit problems in their head, faster than a calculator — and building focus that helps in every subject.
1 · Hands-on
Move beads to add, subtract, multiply and divide — building an intuitive feel for numbers.
2 · Visualize
The abacus moves into the imagination. Kids ‘see’ the beads and compute without touching one.
3 · Mental mastery
Pure mental calculation — quick, accurate, and remarkably confident.
Eight levels, one clear path
Each level builds on the last with achievable milestones. Most children advance a level every few months — always placed by ability, never by age.
Foundations
Meet the abacus. Bead values, finger technique, and simple addition & subtraction to 9.
Small friends
Complementary pairs (‘small friends’) for smooth carrying and borrowing within a rod.
Big friends
‘Big friends’ combinations extend addition & subtraction across rods with confidence.
Mixed operations
Multi-digit addition and subtraction, plus the first steps toward mental visualization.
Multiplication I
Single- and double-digit multiplication on the abacus, building speed and accuracy.
Division I
Division method on the abacus with remainders — and mental math for smaller sums.
Advanced mental math
Larger multiplication & division performed mentally by visualizing the abacus.
Mastery
Rapid multi-digit mental calculation, decimals and speed drills. Graduation & certificate.
