Put Abacus in the Brain |
The abacus is an ancient tool designed to calculate numbers in an efficient and compact form. By manipulating beads on the abacus, students will gain a better understanding of numerical values through tactile and visual learning. When students have familiarized themselves with the abacus and begin to internalize abacus bead placements, they may begin to visualize the abacus and develop mental arithmetic.

Enhance Brain Cognitive Skills and GRIT Perseverance to increase mathematical and academic performance. GRIT is one of the most important factors for Success
|
o Attention: Ability to sustain concentration on a particular object, action, or thought. Ability to manage competing demands in our environment. The ability to withstand distraction, and internal urges.
o Working Memory: Short-term memory (limited storage) o Long-term Memory: (unlimited storage) o Processing speed: input/output Information process speed o Auditory processing: Skills allowing us to translate sounds into words and generate verbal output. o Visual processing: Ability to process incoming visual stimuli. Ability to understand spatial relationship between objects. Ability to visualize images and scenarios. o GRIT Perseverance: A research study from University of Pennsylvania Professor shows GRIT is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. GRIT is having stamina. GRIT is sticking with the future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. GRIT is living life like it’s a marathon, not just a sprint. |
