Abacus is…

One of the three main parts of the human brain is calledthe cerebral hemisphere. The hemisphere is divided into twoareas. The right and left hemispheres of the brain performdifferent functions. In general, the left hemisphere isresponsible for processing information, while the right siderecords or retains information, such as images. When peopledo calculations, they are utilizing the left hemisphere. Mentalcalculation techniques require the use of the righthemisphere. Through instruction, our students are taught to”map” images, rather than to process each information (i.e.each digit) one at a time. Imaging techniques are also used　in speed reading techniques. The advantage of abacus isthat it will train students to “map” images, rather than tosequentially process each information. Abacus raining willliterally introduce a whole new way of “looking” at numbers　and other information. Mental calculations is not a magic.. all　about training. Using an abacus helps activate both left and　right brain.
