Mental arithmetic is a technique developed on the basis of oral arithmetic calculations and allows you to develop the maximum speed of perception and processing of information.
The objective is the harmonious development of both hemispheres of the brain due to the mental visualization of arithmetic calculations in abacus beads.
The simultaneous development of both hemispheres of the brain will allow the child to better understand the information, draw conclusions, see an alternative, not stereotyped, but creative.
During the training, the child develops the main components of creativity: fluency and flexibility of thought, originality and curiosity.
These processes in the course of mental arithmetic develop in children in the first place: the ability of the mental account is based on its use.
In practice, the child needs to have in his mind the images of numbers, which represent the movement of the bones in the abacus. So it develops:
✔ Attention and perseverance.
✔ The imagination
