Difference between Chinese and Japanese Abacus



Chinese Abacus

Japanese Abacus
Chinese are considered to be the inventors of Abacus during 500 BC and the most primitive written document on Abacus is in Chinese that dates back in the 2nd century BC

The Japanese adapted Abacus later realizing its use as a counting device around 1600 AD
The Chinese Abacus is known as the Suan pan

The Japanese Abacus is named as Soroban
Suan pan is rarely used in the modern times except in some regions of China

Soroban is the Abacus that is still used today as a counting device as well as a Brain Development tool for small kids
The Suan pan is a horizontally structured Abacus that has 2 decks. The upper deck constitutes 2 beads and lower deck constitutes 5 beads in each rod

The Soroban is also a horizontally structured Abacus of modern times having 2 decks. Upper deck consists of 1 bead and lower consists of 4 beads in each single rod
It is more complex to be used for performing calculations

The Japanese reduced the beads to make calculations smoother and simplified

To experience the wonderful effects of Abacus on small children, put them into the Abacus course at Master Mind. Learn and develop strong mental arithmetic skills to be the top scorer in mathematics.

Abacus and Visualization


abacus training for kids


Visualization is the ability through which an image that is created in the mind of an individual and that has a perception about his/her surrounding. It is also known as the skill to represent the information, data or process in the form of mental pictures.

How is Visualization developed through Abacus?
The long term training of 2 and half years makes the Abacus users skilled on visualizing the image of the Abacus in their minds. The further calculations can be performed on this image mentally without converting them into words or numbers, instead moving the beads mentally on the image of the Abacus created.

These visualization images can be easily studied through EEGs (Electro Encephalgrams) as observed by Ms. Kimiko kawano, Reasearcher From Nippon Medical School, Center for Informatics and sciences.

Visualization is a resultant of the functioning of right brain, This means tha Abacus enhances the right side of brain by incorporating the knack of visualizing images.

Minimizing Struggle with Numbers

Struggling with big numbers is a common problem among children. It becomes so tragic that after a stage, children lose hope of performing calculations which then becomes a burden.

Abacus is a calculating tool that helps overcome this problem and helps handle large numbers with ease. One can perform operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division up to 10 places (also up to 10 negative places) without confusion and error.

The movement of beads of Abacus aids in effective handling of numbers, which can later be performed mentally without using the instrument. This not only helps calculate large numbers, but also increases the speed, accuracy and efficiency to solve math problems.

As a result, the math experience becomes joyous and interesting which drives enthusiasm to study math and develops a liking for it.

If you are looking for a solution to let your child cope up with the difficulty of struggling with numbers, then take the Abacus Franchise  at Master Mind. With expert guidance and individual attention from trainers, children will encounter quality Abacus learning that will quantify their achievements.
