Expert abacus users can sometimes\u00a0perform calculations faster than on a calculator. This fun class teaches kids the basics of abacus, how to do mental math, how to do dictation\u2014a very important aspect of abacus training, and how to use abacus to solve different math problems. While learning how to use an abacus, students develop math skills that are useful in both school and everyday life. It helps them gain a solid understanding of abstract math concepts, making all math-related tasks easier to learn and understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Mandarin1 (Ages 2-5) \u00a0 M-F 11am<\/h4>\n<p>Children\u2019s songs, rhymes, flash cards, simple role play, and acting are the focus of this class.
