This instruction book provides comprehensive guidance with over200 sample problems, designed to help teachers and parents effectively teach the principles of soroban (the Japanese abacus) to children.

Abacus is a powerful visual learning tool that allows children to "see" numbers as beads, aligning perfectly with our base-10 number system. It offers a structured approach to calculations, both on the abacus and mentally. By mastering the soroban, children can significantly improve their understanding of basic math, as well as enhance their speed and accuracy.

Regular practice with mind math not only builds strong arithmetic skills but also fosters a sense of achievement. This, in turn, boosts confidence, concentration, perseverance, memory, and listening abilities.
