Abacus Maths Witpoortjie Branch

Maths Extra Lessons & Maths Development Program

We make use of the ancient Japanese abacus and teach children from as early as 3 years old to unlock the true potential of their brains and teach them the language of maths. We lay a solid foundation helping children to reach their full potential.

We help our children to develop, explore and discover their talents and their skills, preparing them for a lifelong journey of learning. Abacus Maths helps to transfer a range of skills to our students like visual memory, focus, concentration, confidence and problem solving. With the support of parents and schools in our area, we have grown from just one branch to forty branches, all adding value to the South African education system.

Ancient Japanese Abacus Method: Benefits

Some of the biggest benefits of working with the abacus, and of using our program:
- We create a solid foundation for learning the four pillars of Maths: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
- More than this, working with the abacus leads to the development of the whole brain, with both right (creative) and left (logical) hemispheres benefiting.
- Children particularly between 3 and 13 will learn the beautiful language of Maths.
- The method we teach not only creates a strong foundation for numbers, but students also absorb a culture of enhanced concentration, logical thinking, improved comprehension, listening skills and sound reasoning, together with people skills, teamwork skills and emotional intelligence.
- All of this naturally leads to an increase in self-confidence and self-esteem.
- Problem-solving abilities are augmented.
- Photographic memory develops as the brain learns to use the triggers and levers correctly.
- Maths becomes fun and enjoyable.
