Our students become motivated learners – the best route to success in academics and beyond. UCMAS demands self-discipline and promotes the joy of lifelong learning and self-discovery. These are crucial life skills that students will use again and again.
ABACUS MATH NEAR ME SERIES
Students learn to focus for sustained periods, manage their time while completing long series of sums, as well as, to concentrate on more than one task at the same time. Attaining astonishing calculation speed is actually the end result of increasing “brain-fitness”. Over time, our students come to love a subject they may have once struggled with, or even feared. By mastering these techniques using the abacus, students develop the ability to think in pictures and quickly learn to perform large calculations mentally. Our whole-brain development program builds foundational techniques that make learning math, effortless and enjoyable. We Start Developing Your Child’s Math Muscles Early On!Īt UCMAS, developing a lifelong love of learning in our students is our passion and hence we don’t just tutor, we aim to inspire our students. These activities help children enhance their visual learning style. At UCMAS we conduct various activities with flashcards, which are bead representations of numbers. The ongoing use of the physical abacus helps students visualize the beads of the abacus, hence giving them a gift of Mental Math. Visual Learning Style: Visual learners are those who learn and understand better through visual aid or by seeing and observing things.Thus strengthening their auditory style of learning. In addition to listening and writing, jumbled dictations also help auditory learners. In the UCMAS program, students calculate by listening to numbers at extremely high speeds. Auditory Learning Style: Auditory learners are those who learn best through hearing.Other activities like the types of speed writing facilitate this type of learning. The UCMAS program focuses on the physical use of the abacus for representing and calculating numbers. Tactile/ Kinaesthetic Learning Style: Tactile/ Kinaesthetic learners learn best when they can use their sense of touch using physical objects or body movement.Children generally have a pre-dominant style of learning but at UCMAS we enhance each learning style, which not only enhances their dominant style but also develops their less dominant style of learning. Learning activities in a UCMAS class help children develop their Kinaesthetic, Auditory and Visual learning styles. It’s all nature’s way of ensuring that the brain ultimately splits up tasks to maximize efficiency. The brain carefully balances and assigns control of certain functions to each side. In the UCMAS program, children are trained on arithmetic operations and formulas which are stored in their logical side of the brain, and while doing mental math, they convert the logical numerical representation of numbers into bead images utilizing their visual side of the brain and retrieving formulas which are stored in their logical brain, thus developing both the logical and creative functions of the brain simultaneously. The left/logical side of the brain governs different functions related to number, text, sequencing, formula, and analytical interpretation, whereas the right/visual side of the brain governs functions like face recognition, spatial memory, power of estimation and comparison, processing of tunes/ music etc. The human brain is functionally divided into 2 hemispheres, the logical side and the visual side.
