Benefits

Soroban calculation involves problem solving through oral dictation and problem solving through reading. These activities at various times are to be performed through operating soroban manually and by operating soroban as an imaged/visualized tool.

These special activities involves the use of major sensory parts of our students like Eyes, Hands, Ears and Brain. One need to be attentive by choice to complete these activities. While attempting these activities regular use of these sensory parts develops a coordination between them for a length of a time. This continuous effort of being attentive for longer time stimulates the ability to concentrate and our children show great results in every field with the developed ability to concentrate.

During Soroban calculation, a student is making around thousand finger movement which will improve concentration.

Soroban calculation training skills enhances the capability in students by training them to image a picture of soroban and to visualize the arithmetic operations. This process stimulates image /visual /picture based thinking inside the brain. Children show great results in image based visual retentions like video or photo files stored in the brain and by manipulating this strength developed benefits their various other needs.

A prime theory of soroban learning is the concept of converting numbers into images to empower the photographic memory. For example if you read a book and somone asks you the next day to narrate, you won’t be able to remember all details as if you watched a movie. The difference is that visualizing images and motion in movies makes things easier to memorize.

It has been found that students accurate with calculations with help of Soroban course can easily transform numbers into images and can solve problems mush faster than as in comparison to a traditional student. If we talk of life skills also one have to be good in problem solving if one wants to be successful in life. Students are always good in problem solving skills if they are confident that what they are doing is right and this confidence comes from lot many things and one is the confidence to come to a perfect outcome. Course of Soroban is itself a very useful tool to make the same.

Soroban calculation training collaborates both hemispheres of the brain. As it starts from numbers and logic of calculating on soroban to imaging the numbers into beads and visualizing the soroban operations inside brain to result for correct answers. Whereas numbers and logic are dealt with left brain, while imaging and visualizing is the function of the right brain. This continuous role improves the network and communication between the two brains for whole brain stimulation.

We are pretty sure that calculator will always provide us the right answer for any calculation, same is the confidence that one can retain with soroban that calculations will always be exact. If someone is good with calculations his confidence will always increase. A major advantage lies here is that we don’t need to carry soroban tool with us as in case of a calculator. Very recently it has been seen in various shows that less aged students have been surprising judges and audience with super-fast calculations and the credit goes to soroban.

Student is as proficient as is calculator which will lead to a very high self-esteem.

Ultimately children will be imagining the soroban and would be carrying out calculations, so they will start visualizing things really quick.

Activities in our training have exact oral activities in a challenging atmosphere that trains the brain to simultaneously listen to numbers then converts them into images and performs arithmetic operations for an accurate result. The speed at higher level goes up to listening to 4 numbers per seconds for time span of 30 to 40 seconds. Once trained like this, the brain adapts to method of speedily processing information inside for other endeavors.

Moreover, speed writing activities are applied within 1 minute to write the maximum number of numbers a student can which will also helps improve hand speed.

Soroban calculation training course helps to stimulate the right brain, as it involves regularly imaging the soroban to attempt mental arithmetic. Right Brain is the seat for creative intelligence and hence gets improved with regular stimulation of soroban training. Logic, Names, Lyrics and Sequential Thinking are the job of the left brain whereas Analysis, Faces, Foresight, Music and Spatial Thinking are the job of right brain. Most children are born in our world with higher right brain usage capacity. Adult population of nearly 80% people are using more the left brain, whereas most of the intelligence in a person is due to the right brain. This imbalance has created a shift of so many people being mastered by few. It is right time to understand the power of right brain and act accordingly.

Creativity is an attribute that every parent is focusing to develop in their child. The reason is very simple, creativity is the base of success. Now here as a student develops his right brain by learning these techniques, the right brain development leads to increased creativity.
