The Ancient Calculator
The abacus is one of humanity's oldest calculating tools, dating back thousands of years and still relevant in today's digital age.
A Journey Through Time
The abacus has evolved across different cultures, from the Roman calculi to the Chinese suanpan and Japanese soroban. At Cliffpoint Abacus, we teach the modern Japanese soroban method, which has been refined for optimal learning and calculation speed.
More Than Just Counting
Abacus training is not just about arithmetic—it's a comprehensive mental development program. By manipulating beads physically and then mentally, students develop visualization skills, concentration, and memory that benefit all areas of learning.
For All Ages
While particularly beneficial for children aged 6-13 during their critical brain development years, abacus training offers advantages for learners of all ages seeking to enhance their mental calculation abilities.
