Mental arithmetic for children
Home » Mental arithmetic
What is mental arithmetic?
Mental arithmetic is a system with which children are able to solve arithmetic problems of high complexity in their mind faster than a calculator. But the main achievement of using this technique is the acquisition of such important skills as photographic memory, concentration of attention, self-confidence, sociability, logic and analytical thinking. This allows you to fully develop the abilities of the child.
How does it work?
In classical education, attention is paid to the development of the left hemisphere of the child’s brain, which is responsible for logical thinking.
While mental arithmetic successfully develops the right hemisphere too, which is responsible for figurative thinking, imagination, musical, artistic and other creative abilities. And consequently, it develops the joint activity of two cerebral hemispheres.
Abacus (Soroban)
The main tool in teaching mental arithmetic is the ancient Roman abacus.
Counting with abacus
The learning process begins with the fact that children move the bones on the abacus according to certain formulas.
Imagination
At the next stage, children imagine an imaginary abacus and mentally move the bones on it. Thus they switch to the mental counting.
Result
The child easily combines two types of actions. For example counts and plays a musical instrument

My son is 11 years old. He has already completed Mental Arithmetic. He studied for a year and three months. He finished it ahead of time. He was completing each level quickly and did his best. He participated in 2 olympiads in Bishkek, he has also been to Thailand where he was as a super champion of Level 10. I have heard a lot about mental arithmetic but was sure that no one would open a center here. I found this place from the news and immediately signed up my son for the courses. Later he graduated as a Super Champion.

My kid was very excited and highly interested since the very beginning of the course. Just in a month, I could clearly see amazing changes: his perception level and memory have significantly improved. He started learning poems quickly and giving quick answers to various questions. He participated in many mental olympiads and was doing really well. He was awarded a medal. He started doing well at school as well by doing all his homework on his own. I am very proud of him.

I can see that my child became more diligent, patient and attentive. His perception skills improved greatly. Our school grades got better. I am really happy about his speed-reading skills and ability to count really fast.

We have been coming to Akademia Rosta since February 2017. Before we used to count with calculating sticks but now my daughter counts everything just visually, in mind. Critical thinking and memory have improved and she got more interested in math and other subjects. She is aiming to become a Super Champion and studying hard to become one.
