Features: The abacus and mental arithmetic were created and invented by our ancestors and are an excellent cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. "Mental abacus arithmetic," also known as "mental brain fast calculation," is a rapid calculation method that uses digital and computational patterns to imagine moving the beads in one's mind and directly obtain the answer. Learning mental abacus arithmetic not only allows one to master a special high-speed calculation method but also helps develop brain potential, improve children's attention, observation, comprehension, imagination, memory, and thinking abilities. It is the golden key to unlocking early childhood intelligence. In 1982, Teacher Chen Zijing used the "Combination of Abacus and Fast Calculation" to train a group of fast calculation young champions, such as Jia Yingfang. After the film "China's Genius" was released in Taiyuan in 1985, mental abacus education in China gradually spread from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Jilin to the entire country. In 1990, Teacher Chen Zijing revised the primary school "Fast Calculation Three Calculations" into "Early Childhood Four Calculations, Learning with Fun," which brought a revolution in the history of abacus development. He enhanced the intelligence-boosting function of the abacus on its traditional computational role. In recent years, mental abacus education has not only developed rapidly in all provinces and cities in China but has also been implemented in kindergartens and primary schools in countries such as Japan, Malaysia, and India. On October 28, 2002, the World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Federation was established in Beijing, promoting the development of China's mental abacus education.
"MathMaster's Mental Abacus" for Children compiles the decades of teaching experience of fast calculation expert Professor Chen Zijing, known as Chen's "One Stroke Clear, One Glance Clear, One Mouth Clear, One Abacus Clear." His teaching method is: "Through children's song performances, speaking, singing, jumping, and dancing, learn with fun, practice while playing, and teach through joy. It is both learning and a game." This method enhances children's interest in learning and ensures balanced and healthy development in their cognition, thinking, and personality. To "popularize early childhood mental abacus arithmetic and cultivate little math geniuses," the MathMaster Mental Abacus Technology Research Center in Beijing was established in February 2005. It is a unique research institution for children's mental abacus arithmetic in the country, organized by experts in early childhood education and mental abacus arithmetic. It possesses independent intellectual property rights and has a complete educational system. The knowledge structure of MathMaster's "Mental Abacus" for Children is rational and scientific, better suited to the age, psychological, and cognitive characteristics of young children. It is easy to teach and learn, effectively mobilizes children's initiative and enthusiasm, promotes cognitive development, and helps children grow balanced, healthy, and happily in all aspects.
