When we use an abacus, many of our faculties come into play; hand and eye co-ordination, hearing, visualization, memory, imagination, etc. This means that an abacus not only helps a child calculate faster but also leads to a balanced and an all-round development of the brain. Abacus training enhances: 

• i)     Speed
• ii)    Reflexes
• iii)   Ability to listen to instructions
• iv)   Ability to concentrate
• v)    Accuracy
• vi)   Visualization
• vii)  Memory
• viii) Confidence
