The abacus and mental math curriculum begins with introductory lessons about the abacus and how to use the abacus to represent numbers. Next, students will learn a set of “common rules”, which are the mechanics on how to perform addition and subtraction on the abacus and the rules dictating the proper fingers to use, and bead movement. Depending on the students’ progress, these “common rules” may take as few as 12 weeks, or upwards of 15 weeks to learn. After students have mastered the abacus, they may advance and transition to picturing the abacus in their minds as a precursor to mental arithmetic.

Mental Abacus is lots of Fun
