It’s a famous saying that Learning is a continuous journey and indeed it is very true. Especially in the world of Mathematics, parents and teachers are always on the lookout to find interesting and fun-filled ways to attract children towards learning Maths, however it’s easier said than done. Abacus comes as a life saver in this situation, and it’s a hidden tool in parent’s armoury. Simply put, Abacus is a learning technique that compliments traditional ways of teaching school Maths to kids.
Let us try and understand the core reason of most common problem ‘Why do children have fear of Maths’.
- When Maths is taught at the young age, children come across many different concepts like arithmetic operations or fractions, or geometry or calculus (depending on which grade a child is in).
- Every Math concept has one common prerequisite, which is the use of numbers and the strong hold on basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division)
- Typically, most kids struggle to develop a strong hold on numbers and basic arithmetic. Reason is that as they start to learn and practice these, the school or the tutor generally moves on to the new functional topics as per the academic schedule, and many children struggle to keep up pace. They practically need much more time and practice to become fluent in arithmetic operations.
Abacus course solves this exact problem since the key academic purpose of learning Abacus is to do superfast arithmetic calculation mentally (using visualization). Yes, this really means without using a paper or a pen, and children proficient in Abacus are often called Human calculator. If you are new to Abacus, you have to see this phenomenon live to believe.

Now coming to today’s topic, let us brain storm why Abacus classes online are the future of learning. There are basically two types of teaching modes – offline and online, so let’s talk about both of them in detail.
Offline Abacus classes
- Offline schools and coaching centers are by default the preferred and traditional mode. We fully echo this statement since the child being physically present allows the trainer to read his body language, establish easy contact.
- Both children and teacher are comfortable in offline teaching mode
- However there are certain limitations of offline mode as well. For e.g.
- As a parent you have very limited options to choose from. You may be lucky to find a good teacher near to your location, but not everyone may find a good tutor in their vicinity.
- A child needs to step out of their home and especially for young kids, there is always a dependency on parents or elder siblings to drop them to the offline center. And then again to go and pick up. Everyone may not even have this kind of support available at home.
- In extreme weather conditions (like heat or rainy season) a child may not be able to step out and may be forced to skip classes.
Online Abacus classes
- Over the past decade or so, emerging technology and use of the internet has opened up many new online learning avenues.
- The most crucial advantages of online learning are
- Learn from anywhere
- Learn from a tutor of your choice, so you are free to reach out to the best tutor
- Learn from comfort of your home
- To survive and stay ahead – we must adapt and evolve with time. Technology brings numerous advantages if used constructively, and can really speed up learning in all areas.
Mathcruise offers Abacus classes in Pune, and we also provide Abacus classes online globally to students all over the world.
Secret of Best Abacus classes
The trick to provide the best Abacus classes is that you have to establish a meaningful connection with the children, engage with them in positive learning and encourage them to open up with the trainer and the fellow students. This ensures a PULL model of learning instead of PUSH, which is at the heart of effective results.
Our unique teaching methodology is result oriented with focus on minimal but regular homework for consistent results without pressuring the child. We conduct surprise tests to gauge the readiness of the children at any given point of time since we do not want them to just score in exams, but they must be able to apply the Abacus skill at all times. We engage the children in healthy peer competition and encourage them to do better at all times.
We do not want you to blindly trust our words that we provide one of the best Abacus classes. Instead, you should read the google reviews of many proud parents who are part of the growing Mathcruise family and they are seeing unprecedented changes in their children who are learning Abacus at Mathcruise. We take pride in the fact that most of our children are part of our family since many years, and they enroll in multiple courses (for e.g. Vedic Maths and School Maths after Abacus).
