As parents we know the importance of doing well in maths not just to excel in school, but also to succeed in various other subjects and important life skills. However, we also know that some children struggle with mathematical concepts. As such, they may fall behind in some areas, causing both themselves and their parents quite a bit of stress.
Want your child to develop a love of maths? Then this article is a must-read!
With technology easily available, kids these days may become too dependent on gadgets like calculators — or even apps — when doing maths calculations. This may hamper brain development and critical thinking.
Needless to say, having a maths teaching method that reduces stress in children will help them learn better and promote the development of their left and right brain (and other important mental abilities).
It should also bring relief for parents who want to see their children excel in their school work.
Crestar Learning Centre’s Abacus and Mental Arithmetic programme has been designed to help children improve their maths skills with ease.
Watch your child’s maths skills blossom with Abacus and Mental Arithmetic training.
What is Abacus and Mental Arithmetic?
Crestar’s Mental Arithmetic programme equips your child with techniques for complicated mental calculation, sharpening your child’s memory and strengthening concentration discipline.
This method is based on the principles of abacus calculation.
The abacus is a calculating tool that is used in teaching numbers and arithmetic. With practice, children are trained to register a mental abacus to help them perform complex calculations with precision.
Your child will learn to solve complex mathematical problems in their heads in a matter of seconds!
