The Abacus As A Tool For Mental Arithmetic

What is mental arithmetic?

Mental arithmetic is the ability to perform calculations in one’s mind without using any external aids such as paper, pencil, or calculator. Mental arithmetic can improve one’s memory, concentration, logical thinking, and creativity. It can also enhance one’s speed and accuracy in solving mathematical problems.

How does the abacus help in mental arithmetic?

The abacus helps in mental arithmetic by providing a visual and tactile representation of numbers and operations. By manipulating the beads on the abacus, one can learn the basic principles of arithmetic and number sense. The abacus also helps in developing a mental image of the beads and their positions, which can be used to perform calculations mentally.

The abacus system of mental calculation is a system where users mentally visualize an abacus to carry out arithmetical calculations. No physical abacus is used; only the answers are written down. Calculations can be made at great speed in this way.

The abacus has several advantages over using the modern calculator for mental arithmetic. The main advantage is the ability to perform arithmetic operations mentally as the calculations are performed with two hands, improving the work of both hemispheres of the brain. Activation of the two hemispheres of the brain leads to the formation of neural connections.

How to learn mental arithmetic using the abacus?

To learn mental arithmetic using the abacus, one needs to follow these steps:

Learn how to use the abacus to represent numbers and perform basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Each rod on the abacus represents a place value, such as ones, tens, hundreds, etc. The rods are arranged from right to left, with the ones place being the farthest right. Each bead on the abacus has a value depending on its position and the rod it is on. The beads on the upper part of the rod are called heaven beads and have a value of 5. The beads on the lower part of the rod are called earth beads and have a value of 1. To represent a number on the abacus, one needs to move the beads towards the center beam. To reset the abacus to zero, one needs to move all the beads away from the center beam.

Practice using the abacus regularly and master different techniques and methods for each operation. For example, to add two numbers, one needs to align them on the same place value and then add each pair of beads from right to left. To subtract two numbers, one needs to align them on the same place value and then subtract each pair of beads from right to left. To multiply two numbers, one needs to use repeated addition or a multiplication table. To divide two numbers, one needs to use repeated subtraction or a division table.

Gradually transition from using the physical abacus to using a mental image of the abacus. This can be done by reducing the size of the abacus, hiding some parts of it, or closing one’s eyes while using it. The goal is to visualize the beads moving on the abacus as one performs each operation mentally.

Challenge oneself with more complex and varied problems that require mental arithmetic skills. For example, one can try solving problems involving fractions, decimals, percentages, algebra, geometry, etc.

If you want to give your child the gift of mental math mastery, you should enroll them in our online abacus classes.

Supercharging the Brain: Abacus or Calculator for Maths?

One cosy afternoon, two siblings, aged 5 and 7, were playing with numbers at the dining table, when the younger one asked, “Do you want to supercharge your brain with me?” The older one, intrigued, nodded, and they both started their little game — one with a calculator, and the other with an abacus.

Book Your Free Trial Today!

https://supermaths.co.uk/book-a-trial/

As part of their game, the 7-year-old typed a tricky sum into the calculator:

“5783 × 46 = ?”

With a few quick taps, the answer appeared on the screen. But before they could even say it out loud, the 5-year-old, moving their fingers as if shifting invisible beads, blurted out the correct answer at the exact same time!

The older sibling’s jaw dropped. “How did you do that?” they asked, completely stunned. With a proud smile, the 5-year-old replied, “It’s the magic of the abacus! It helps me supercharge my brain!”

Abacus or Calculator: Which is Better to Supercharge Your Brain?

The abacus is more than just an old counting tool — it’s a brain-training powerhouse. Children who practice with it develop exceptional mental maths skills, often solving problems faster than a calculator. That’s why they’re sometimes called “Human Calculators,” because they can compute numbers purely through visualisation. The abacus can help kids supercharge their brain, strengthening their cognitive abilities in a way that a calculator cannot.

How the Abacus Supercharges Your Brain

1. It Develops Mental Maths Skills: A calculator provides answers instantly, but it doesn’t strengthen problem-solving skills. The abacus teaches children to visualise numbers, allowing them to perform calculations quickly without any external device. This boosts maths skills and helps supercharge the brain for faster thinking.

2. It Activates Both Sides of the Brain: Unlike a calculator, which requires no thinking, abacus training engages both hemispheres of the brain — logic on the left and creativity on the right. This enhances memory, concentration, and cognitive abilities, enabling kids to supercharge their brain and improve overall brain function.

3. It Improves Focus and Discipline: Using an abacus requires active participation, helping children develop better focus and patience. Unlike screens, which provide instant solutions, the abacus encourages logical thinking and persistence.

4. It Makes Learning Maths Fun: Many children struggle with numbers, but the abacus makes maths a hands-on experience. The movement of beads turns calculations into a game, building confidence and reducing maths anxiety.

The Final Showdown: Abacus vs Calculator

Hearing the conversation, the parent smiled and said, “The calculator is fast, but your little sibling’s brain is even faster — and getting sharper every day. The abacus helps them supercharge their brain.” The 7-year-old nodded thoughtfully. “Maybe I should learn the abacus too.” And so, in the middle of an ordinary afternoon, the siblings discovered an extraordinary lesson: the greatest calculator is the human brain — especially when trained with the abacus to supercharge your brain.

Would you rather have your child rely on a calculator or train their brain to be the ultimate calculator?

If we don't stop calling it "intelligence" it's going to kill us.

Everyone in this article is treating an algorithmic sorting device that pukes out the average of what you've fed it as either a simple tool (like a calculator) that performs repetitive tasks accurately, or a being with agency. And no in between.

My brain is fried, I've been fighting a malfunctioning website all day (which also has an AI option now!) and I just had to add a disclaimer asking people to please not feed my work to an AI. I've about had it.

AI is deciding how much staff a Canadian hospital will need! Based on what criteria? Well, they know they feed it information about the weather and the traffic and local events and it spits out a schedule. How? That, they don't know. That part's proprietary, it belongs to whoever built the damn thing. And no one seems to care.

Hospitals around here have been criminally understaffed for a very long time. What does that data sample look like? Well, there are a lot of people waiting 18 hours or more for care and many of them die, so that seems like the status quo! How did they correct for that? Did they correct for it? How about the part where certain people get substandard care or none at all?

"Learn how to use AI" seems to mean "learn how to push buttons on a black box programmed and curated by a corporation with no accountability." At the very least, these algorithms codify our biases uncritically, and nobody with human judgment is minding their decision-making process. "Learn how to fact-check AI" does not seem to be on the table. "Learn how to correct AI" is similarly absent.

Just use it. Like a calculator. You don't need to correct a calculator! Well, the more complex and opaque its calculations get, the more likely you do need to correct it.

Learn how to use it or risk losing your job. What a way to put it. Your money and your life. This thing is better at making money and products than you are! Yeah, no shit. It acts like a slave. But, previously, we've enslaved people with agency. These babies don't have that problem! They only act like they do sometimes because they're piggybacking off the sum total of our behaviour. All the good, and the bad, and the completely fucking irrational, and they can't tell the difference. Do we do it a lot? Then they'll give us more of the same!

It's just more automation! But it's not, because it's automating what we do, as if all of our actions are as necessary and rational as 1+1=2. We do some really self-destructive things we need to stop doing. If we bake that behaviour into our devices and get rid of the human beings capable of learning and growing, where do we go from there?

Do you like where we are now? Do you want it forever?

I think Daniela does know math, because I won't believe Alcina didn't teach her daughters at least basics of it :p But she really struggles at it. Like, she needs to focus really hard on even simplest things. So Max counting shit in his head like that is really impressive to her)

Meanwhile Sarah doesn't know math. Just at all. Can't even count beyond a 100. Simply because she was a peasent girl in 1600 America and never got proper education. So to her whatever her partners do with numbers is equal witchcraft.

Unrelated, but Bela is probably great at math. Like she does some complex counting in her head.

Cassandra isn't as good, but she can efficently use Abacus.

Fair. It's not that Daniela can't do math, it's just that anything beyond simple addition/subtraction she really needs to focus on/write it down. Max being able to make sense of random numbers in his head just baffles her.

Meanwhile Sarah was raised by her two sisters in a peasant town. I'm willing to believe Winifred and Mary had some form of education, like I would believe they would know basic math to an extent. And obviously Winnie can read. But Sarah? It's a miracle if this girl can spell her own name.

To be fair, it isn't as if the Village has any formal education. So the fact Max can even do math beyond basics is kind of impressive. (I like to think his parents taught him and his siblings and Max just took a lot of interest in it). It's just something not widely taught, unless the parent wants to teach it.

Bela is definitely a math wizard. Of all the things Alcina taught, learning math was probably her best subject. Bela's the type to do math sheets for fun. That and anything science-y, just scratches an itch in her brain. She likes to think. She finds a comfort in it. (She's probably corrected Alcina's math before. Respectfully, of course.)

Cassandra can do math pretty well, she just doesn't care for it. Her interest was always in the biological. How the body works and such. That said, knowing liquid measurements helps quite a lot sometimes.

Also unrelated, Elena can probably do basic math. She was never formerly taught it, but her dad did show her a little of it. (Just enough to help if she ever needed to keep track of money or whatever).

Alcina can obviously do math. She probably had private tortures as a child, considering she grew up as a nobleman. I imagine she's well versed in reading, writing, and arithmetic. It helps greatly with managing her wine business (though she can always have Bela double check the expenses and such.)

Mia can also do math pretty well. I mean, she literally worked in a science field, math is a huge part of science. She's a big fucking nerd. Granted, she probably can't do it as well as before. I imagine all the trauma and mold fucked her up pretty bad mentally. But she still has moments of being really smart and showing actual prowess. (And it always surprises people)

And Melony can't do math for shit. With how she was raised, it's probably a miracle she can read and write. (Mind you it's probably weaker than it should be for someone her age. Like if she tried to read out loud she'd struggle). She tends to just let Cass do the math if she ever needs it. She is quite fascinated with the abacus, though, and tends to mess with it when no one's around.

Doesn't understand anything about how the hell it helps with math, though.

Abacus in the Modern World

The abacus is one of the oldest and simplest calculating devices in history. It has been used for thousands of years in various cultures and regions, such as Babylon, Greece, Rome, China, Japan, India, and Africa. The abacus consists of a frame with rods and beads that can slide along them. Each rod represents a place value, and each bead has a numerical value. By manipulating the beads, one can perform arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The abacus may seem like an outdated and obsolete tool in the modern world, where electronic devices such as calculators and computers are widely available and accessible. However, the abacus still has its advantages and uses in certain situations and contexts. Some of the benefits of using the abacus are:

It does not require electricity or batteries to operate, making it suitable for remote areas or places with unreliable power supply.

It is durable and easy to maintain, unlike electronic devices that can break down or malfunction.

It is inexpensive and widely available, especially in developing countries where electronic devices may be scarce or costly.

It enhances mental calculation skills and cognitive abilities, such as concentration, memory, logic, speed, accuracy, confidence, and creativity.

It makes learning mathematics fun and interactive for children, who can play with the beads and see the results instantly.

The abacus is still used today in some parts of the world for various purposes. Some of the applications of the abacus are:

Education: The abacus is still used to teach the fundamentals of mathematics to children in most countries. It helps them to understand the concepts of numbers, place values, operations, fractions, decimals, etc. It also prepares them for higher-level mathematics such as algebra and geometry.

Commerce: The abacus is still used by merchants, traders, and clerks in some parts of Eastern Europe, Russia, China, and Africa. It helps them to perform quick and accurate calculations for transactions involving large numbers or multiple currencies.

Games: The abacus is still used as a scoring system in non-electronic table games such as mahjong, go, chess, etc. It helps players to keep track of their points and moves easily and conveniently.

Art: The abacus is still used as a source of inspiration and expression for artists and musicians. They can use the abacus to create designs, patterns, shapes, sounds, etc.

The abacus is a remarkable tool that has survived and adapted to the changes and challenges of the modern world. It is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of human beings who have invented and improved it over time. The abacus may not be as popular or prevalent as it once was, but it still has its value and relevance in today’s society.

jesus fuck people are sometimes so freakin boring!

Yes you can drive w/out GPS - its called a fuckin MAP, printed on paper. Everyone had one (bonus points for AAA sending you a lil spiral-notebook map with directions if you had a cross-state trip planned)

You can do math without the lil calculator in your phone - piece of paper, an abacus, mofo slide ruler if calculus!

Yes you can manipulate images without Photoshop - airbrushing, double-exposure, slides projection.... this all existed for years! Ditto on audio - carefully rewound tape to slow-down (lower the pitch) or speed up or overlap multiple tracks to record a new cacophony etc etc

You can make shit w/out numbers generator generative-ai - its called your own brain and holding a pencil in your fist

"but how did people do X before Y app was invented" - motherfuck! Where do you think the tech basis came from?!?! Ain't nobody gonna include "burn/dodge" buttons in that app of yours if it wasn't based on actual darkroom practices. Copy/paste involved sharp exacto-blades and careful trimming of bits. RETURN is an actual typewritter key to fully shift the paper & carriage back to most-left position. You "hang up" the call by literally placing the receiver back on the cradle. The save icon is a floppy disk (all that delicate magnetic tape). The voice-mail icon is a cassette (oldskool magnetic tape again)

a metric fuckton of modern digital stuff used to be analog

Shit has existed before your lifetime. just like how the universe continues to exist when you close you eyes and hum inside your head

[niconiconwo]

Absolutely love that Aldi has cookies that are almost exactly the same as Girl Scout ones but without being outrageously upmarked.

The fudge coconut caramel ones are exactly Samoas. The chocolate covered PB filled ones are almost exactly Tagalongs. The fudge mint-striped cookies taste exactly like thin mints, but aren't quite the same.

Fuck them kids. I will never buy a half-box of cookies for five bucks a unit or whatever they go for now. Absolutely preposterous, just like school fundraisers trying to sling frozen pies and cheese cakes for fifteen or twenty bucks back in the day.
