Universal Concept Of Mental Arithmetic System is a skill development program that aims at bringing out the best in every child. This program originated in Malaysia and now is spread out across more than 60 countries and over 3 million students' word wide owing to the fact that UCMAS produces tangible results in children enhancing their creativity, concentration and confidence.
In today's competitive modern day and age it is utmost necessary to create a platform for children to enhance their brain development. UCMAS abacus mental arithmetic programs are designed to mobilize the learning imitative of children to reach faster, think deeper, understand deeper and in turn assist in the retention of the lessons taught in the school. Mental Arithmetic is a form of calculation that does not involve the use of any physical or external gadgets / instruments such as a calculator or a computer. The calculations are solely done by human mind using mental power. To achieve this, UCMAS utilizes an ancient Chinese tool called the Abacus. The children are taught to calculate using the abacus by mapping the beads to numbers in their mind and the calculations are performed by moving the beads accordingly. This way, through continuous practice, the children register the numbers as images in their right brain and eventually can perform mental mathematics at exceptional speeds without the help of the abacus and their speeds are faster than that of electronic calculators.
I watched the UCMAS Quiz on TV3 today and I was amazed at the way children of between 4-10 solves complex mathematics without using any calculator. Who has heard of this before?
Its so wonderful.
see the picture of how the children solve maths with their fingers in this link. I really wish this come to Nigeria.
