SUMMARY:Abacus Mental Math Summer Camp Session 3
DESCRIPTION:Abacus Mental Math is a fun and effective learning method that helps children build strong math skills. Students begin with a physical abacus and gradually learn to perform calculations mentally by visualizing the abacus. Along the way\, they develop faster calculation skills\, better focus and concentration\, improved memory\, whole-brain development\, and greater math confidence\, giving them valuable skills for success in school and beyond. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbacus Mental Math\n\n\n\nWhat is Abacus Mental Math?\n\n\n\nAbacus mental math is a learning technique in which children first learn arithmetic using a physical abacus. As they progress\, they develop the ability to perform calculations mentally by visualizing the abacus in their minds. \n\n\n\nWhy Learn Abacus Mental Math?\n\n\n\nFaster Calculation SkillsPerform arithmetic more quickly and accurately. \n\n\n\nEnhanced Focus & ConcentrationDevelop stronger attention and sustained focus. \n\n\n\nBrain Hemisphere CoordinationStrengthen coordination between the left and right brain. \n\n\n\nImproved MemoryEnhance both visual memory and working memory. \n\n\n\nBuild Math ConfidenceIncrease confidence and enjoyment in learning mathematics. \n\n\n\nMeet Your Instructor\n\n\n\nMaksym DemushAppleton East High School \n\n\n\nMaksym is an award-winning math competitor and experienced robotics coach. He believes that learning abacus mental math helped him calculate faster and gain an advantage in math competitions. \n\n\n\nSelected Awards\n\n\n\n🏅 3rd Place — UWO Math Problem Solving Contest (2026)🥈 Silver Medal — Fox Valley Math League (2026) \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nEnroll Now!
