Many students struggle with focus, memory and basic calculation — falling behind before they even reach algebra. Learn how Mental Arithmetic and Neurofitness help close that gap.

Abakus School has developed a unique method that develops critical thinking, logics and math skills and consists of:

  • Mental Arithmetic
  • Logical tasks
  • Unusual math
  • Brain fitness exercises
  • Educational games

Why fundamental math is getting harder for kids — and how to fix it

Reduced attention span, weaker memory retention, and mechanical thinking are making arithmetic increasingly difficult for students. Abakus addresses this with Mental Arithmetic and Neurofitness — a scientifically grounded approach using asymmetric motor exercises that engage both hemispheres of the brain.

Improve concentration, both in and out of school

Strengthen memory and speed up calculations

Develop creativity and out-of-the-box thinking

Prepare the brain for reading, writing and counting
