ABACUS & BRAIN GYM BENEFITS

Movement and the brain are interlinked. Physical movement such as walking, running, playing sports, and exercise in general are good for the brain. Not only is it good, its GREAT, so, why is it that! when schools cut budgets the first thing to go is Physical Education?
1. Photographic Memory

The concept of thinking in pictures helps the student perform better not just in Mathematics but in all subjects. 2. Listening skills

Constant practice of performing sums dictated by the course instructor sharpens the listening skills in students. i 3. Concentration

Teaching methodology in SCA develops an exclusive attentiveness in the child and helps him/her to concentrate better. 4. Comprehension

Using the Abacus as a learning tool, and flash cards, leads to better understanding and grasping power.

5.

Presentation

The ancient art of mental math is primarily about arrangement and appearance. Regular practice improves the presentation skills in young children. 6. Imagination and Creativity

At a specific stage in the learning process, the abacus is withdrawn from the student and he/she is expected to work with an imaginary one. This helps to stimulate the right brain and develop these qualities. 7. Speed and Accuracy

Constant practice at home helps the child to become more precise and fast at problem solving. 8. Self-reliance and self-confidence

Students, at such a tender age, are free from calculators, thereby becoming more self-reliant. Also, due to their enhanced skills, their confidence is significantly boosted.

-- According Teachers and Students report has shown that simple movement activities lead to Dramatic improvements in the following areas: Concentration and Focus Memory Academics: reading, writing, math, test taking Physical coordination Relationships Self-responsibility Organization skills Attitude And more

Ever try tying your shoes with one hand, or peddling a bicycle with one foot? It can be done, but why? You have the capacity to do more, with more! In most educational systems, the right hemisphere of the brain is underutilized. The process of learning through drills, repetition, tests and quizzes depends upon the linear, methodical left brain, which builds memory through logical links and repetition. Visual stimulation can help traditional learning by developing and sharpening your right-brain photographic memory capabilities, visualization skills, intuition and creativity. Right Brain Education for little ones is quite unique. We believe that during the first six years of life, the right brain is wide open and ready for educational input of all kinds. This window of opportunity can be maximized with 12 early learning techniques taught at six different stages of early childhood development. When right brain and the left brain activities are enjoyed at key times of development, children maximize their potential right from the start. Right Brain Education for older children allows their minds to learn in a whole new way by activating both hemispheres and stimulating their visual centers in the brain. When the right brain is activated before any type of learning activity, they learn more deeply and joyfully. Right brain games are designed to build confidence, enhance memory, selfesteem and accelerate learning for students of all ages, creating a complete well-rounded approach to living, working and growing. We believe that learning should be a playful and joyful process, and enjoyment is part of what makes learning memorable. And, you and your child may also experience the long-term benefits of: Speed reading Stronger power of observation Faster, crisper and clearer vision Quick language, math and music acquisition Three-dimensional visualization Accelerated learning Deep relaxation Self-confidence and joy Just consider these effects to be an incredible life-changing bonus!
