Abacus

Abacus learning stands as a crucial pillar in our school's academic program, deemed mandatory for every student from grade 1 to 5. Recognizing the profound impact it has on cognitive development and mathematical proficiency, we have integrated this ancient calculating tool into our curriculum to nurture a strong foundation in numerical skills. The abacus, with its beads and rods, serves as more than a mere arithmetic device; it becomes a conduit for fostering mental agility and strategic thinking. By engaging with the abacus, students enhance their ability to visualize and manipulate numbers, laying the groundwork for advanced mathematical concepts. The tactile nature of the abacus instills a hands-on approach, promoting a deeper understanding of mathematical principles. Furthermore, abacus learning transcends conventional arithmetic and extends into problem-solving and critical thinking. As students progress through grades 1 to 5, the curriculum adapts to their evolving cognitive capacities, introducing complex calculations and intricate problem-solving scenarios. This progression ensures that students not only grasp fundamental arithmetic but also develop a versatile skill set applicable to various mathematical challenges. The mandatory nature of abacus learning underscores our commitment to holistic education. Beyond academic excellence, we aim to instill qualities such as patience, concentration, and perseverance – attributes inherently associated with mastering the abacus. The structured, sequential learning approach employed in abacus education aligns with our school's pedagogical philosophy, ensuring that each student receives a comprehensive and progressive mathematical education. In conclusion, abacus learning is an indispensable component of our school's academic program, enriching students with mathematical prowess and fostering a resilient mindset essential for lifelong learning. The mandatory inclusion from grade 1 to 5 reflects our dedication to nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped for the challenges of the future.
