We see a world where kids have the self-confidence and focus to learn anything they set their mind to.
At Abakidz, our program combines the centuries-old abacus with the methodology of the world’s greatest mental mathematician to create a numerical based brain training program.
What is an abacus?
The abacus is a 5,000-year old calculation tool that has been used primarily in China, Japan, India, and Korea. A renewed appreciation of the unique cognitive benefits of an abacus-based program like Abakidz
Our abacus based training has been found to produce functional and structural changes in the brain that accounts for behavioral improvements in cognitive function
BBC: The ancient tool used in Japan to boost memory
Advocates argue that sliding the beads up and down with your fingers and then thinking with your brain creates a mind-body connection that helps with calculation skills and cognitive memory.

The abacus is still taught in Japanese schools, although not as intensively as it once was. But the centuries-old tool is still popular, and national tournaments attract elite competitors.
Our Approach
The Abakidz team developed a unique curriculum emphasizing visualization techniques which allow your children to make rapid and accurate mental calculations.
Training includes tactile and auditory training, thereby engaging multiple learning modalities simultaneously.
The Virtual Classroom Experience
Each session features a multi-modality program that facilitates faster development of numerical fluency and improves memory. By engaging in all three learning modalities, students in Abakidz are trained to stay engaged and focused in the task at hand.
Visual
Improving visual processing speed can result in faster calculation and reading speed. This also helps increase student’s ability to capture more information at once.
Auditory
Classroom activities push students to improve on their ability to retain auditory information.
Tactile
Manipulating the abacus beads and solving problems with a unique hands-on method will engage the right side of the brain, which processes visuo-spatial information.
