Abacus Course

What will I learn?

Learn how to use the abacus properly for Mathematics. We'll teach you about where it came from and the simple rules of using this old counting tool. You go learn how to add and minus numbers well, and how to dodge common mistakes. You go learn how to teach others by planning good lessons, making pictures to help understand, and using computers or phones to make hard things easy. You go train your brain to do maths fast without the abacus by seeing numbers in your head and remembering tricks. And you go learn how to check if students are understanding and give them good advice to help them learn better. Join us so you can become a better maths person and a better teacher.
