Japanese Abacus Mental Arithmetic - Unique Way to See the Numbers.

What will be taught?
Students will be introduced to a unique concept of doing calculations on Abacus and as a result, mentally. They will learn basic calculations on Abacus, involving 1,2,3,4 digit numbers, do mental calculations based on this concept and visual exercises. We will also play logic games and do other fun intellectual things. The classes are very engaging and fun! Students love the idea of seeing numbers in a new way that allows them to be faster and use Abacus or their mental math skills!
Topics covered:
Week 1 - Numbers 1-5, 10-50, 100-500, 1000-5000. Mental Math practice. Memory game (numbers).
Week 2 - Numbers 6-7, 60-70, 600-700, 6000-7000. Mental Math practice. Memory game (squares)
Week 3 - Numbers  8-9, 80-90, 800-900, 8000-9000. Mental Math practice. Competition - Abacus math.
Week 4 - Abacus Practice/ Competition.  Mental Math Practice/ Competition. 
Week 5 - Review. Mental Math Exercises/ Practice. Math games.

Each class consists of the group learning when teacher explain the theme and students ask questions. Next, students practice new skills on Abacus as a group and individually. As they acquire the new skill we do a short contest, games, visual exercises etc. After that it's time for Mental Math exercises which are really fun. Before the class is finished teacher and students discuss homework for the week. 

I engage with every student when teaching and pay close attention to how well each of them understands the topic and the new skill. In my classes we all enjoy the process of learning. In this process students understand that math can be so much fun!

I ask parents to make sure the students join the class in time. If your child is late they will be able to watch the missed part of the class in the recorded version while during the class they would try catch up with the group.
