CLASS WORK SOROBAN » SOROBAN is the name given to the traditional Japanese abacus or calculating frame, Which is increasingly being seen as valuable mathematical tool for a technological age. This “Natural Calculating Device” has unique advantage in this digital age. Why Soroban ? The SOROBAN‘is a tool to develop the right brain. Our brain is made Uup of two hemispheres, the left and right, research on the brain science reveal that the left hemisphere provides analytical ability & controls, integral information process dealing with information concerning shape and space Left brain governs the right limbs and the right brain, left limbs. Conversely the action of the limbs also has an influence on the development of the brain. ‘The children from infancy are taught to use their right hand for most of the work they do, like eating and working. So the right hand is used more than the left hand throughout life and the right brain function are not well developed The learning of ABACUS mental arithmetic accelerates development of brain, especially right brain The brain of a six year old reaches the weight of 1200 gms. making up 86% of the adult brain. At this stage the child approaches the sensitive period of thinking in their visual receptivity, actual recognition of sound and lexibility of finger muscles. So we work children from 4 to 14 years, ABACUS! is a boon to students, parents and teachers. This is _a simple technique taught to kids in their early childhood. The abacus method originated in China and is more than 2000 years old art/skill. This ancient art has survived the onslaught of time, because it is a proven technique for the brain development. Abacus is not an uncommon word, this concept is no countries like China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysi ‘cepted and practiced in several Singapore, India, USA, Russia etc. This helps children to flair better in all areas where learning is required. This simple to learn technique is fun for students to study, and all they need is “regular practice” of 10-15 minutes daily for the lessons taught in class. After 3 months you can see the change in your child's ability to calculate at math problems at faster speeds and after 9 months you will feel the change in their over all ability of understanding in other subjects. ‘ocarneu witn LamocannBENEFITS OF LEARNING ABACUS }> Improvement in speed and accuracy in calculation, reading and writing > Improvement in mental arithmetic skill, > Numbers will not be absract my more and fear ‘of numbers goes away. > Improvement in academic performance and leaming process is fun. > Enhances cofidence and changes the outlook for better. > Academic scores improves in all subjects. > Master fast & accurate & counting skills enhanced thinking ability, reponse & memory power. > Insti concentration & effective learning methods. Develop setf confidence. > Abacus energizes the brain and focus on complete brain development, it also helps to remove the learning blocks. > When we listen to a conversation, the left Brain concentrates ‘on what is said (the content), while the Right Brain picks up how it was said (the emotions) ht Brain Left Brain To see the "Big Picture" Prefer a slow step-by-step "Global" type of Learner. buildup of information UNDERSTANDING THE ABACUS FIT TPP I TTT S beads (worth 5) PETTITT TI TST TY beam $393993933232) =— ABCDEFGHIJKLM | ceca vs 108 millions 10008 ‘ocarneu witn LamocannSitting Posture Sit upright with both legs perpendicular. Inhale with broad chest. Occupy only half of the chair while sitting. Before using the Abacus, the Abacus must be placed vertically on left side of the table, pencil on right side and both hands placed on thighs. ‘ocarneu witn LamocannPosition of Abacus Abacus is to be placed exactly below the sum being solved, with ‘Unit Point" aligned straight with the sum and your nose. As you goto another sum, move Abacus so thatit isnow under the new sum being solved, just below the sum. ‘seannea witn Lamscanih: ‘ocarneu witn LamocannHow to Hold Abacus Abacus is to be placed on the table at a distance of 4 fingers from the edge of the table. Unit point of tthe abacus should be aligned with your nose. Hold the upper and lower frames of abacus with the thumb andlasttwo fingers of your left hand. ‘ocarneu witn LamocannHow to Hold Pencil Allow 2.5 cms projection at the end of the pencil Right Hand: The Pencil should run through thumb and index finger Left Hand: Hold the pencil with first three fingers & thumb, and end of the pencilis supported by the last/ litte finger ‘ocarneu witn LamocannSNE Place the abacus flat on the table, then tilt the frame toward you. Gravity pulls all the beads down. At this point only the upper beads have been cleared away from the beam. Place the abacus back ‘onto the table and hold it with the left hand. Then, using the back of the right index finger, make a ‘sweeping motion from left to right between the top of the beam and the bottom of the upper beads 5 ‘vamocannRight Always Work from Left to Right Fundamental to good abacus technique is the rule always work from left to right. This may seem a little odd at first but it’s extremely important. I's one of the abacus's biggest advantages. It allows Us to solve problems with great agility and speed, in part, because numbers are added and subtracted in exactly the same way we read and hear them, ‘ocarneu witn LamocannFingering Always use the thumb and the forefinger to slide the beads back and forth. Hold the peneil in other three fingers lightly. Always use the thumb to add the one value beads and to subtract 5 value beads. Always use the forefinger to add the 5 value beads and to subtract 1 value beads.
