Abacus mental arithmetic is especially suitable for children over 4 years old, and 4 to 1 1 is more suitable for learning abacus mental arithmetic.

Mental abacus calculation is a kind of calculation skill based on abacus calculation, through practical training and simulation, and then transition to the abacus image formed by abacus calculation in the brain. Figuratively speaking, abacus mental arithmetic is to do abacus in your mind. It transforms abstract numbers into intuitive bead counting images through vision, hearing and touch, and quickly completes the calculation process in the brain according to the calculation rules of bead counting.

The real significance of learning abacus mental arithmetic is not how fast and how difficult it is, but that children can effectively promote the coordinated use of eyes, ears and hands of their left and right hands in the process of learning abacus mental arithmetic, promote the balanced development of children's left and right brains, effectively develop children's right brain and stimulate children's intellectual potential through the movement of abacus mental arithmetic images in the brain.

Is it good for children to learn mental arithmetic?

Expert comments:

Abacus mental arithmetic is a school of mathematical calculation teaching, which still exists today, and it must have its reasonable place. After the baby learns abacus mental arithmetic, the calculation speed will really accelerate. Mental abacus is a tool with China characteristics-abacus, which connects abstract numbers with beads on the abacus and builds a bridge between concrete and abstract. The 1 bead on the abacus represents the five beads below, and the two beads above together are "10", which helps the baby to understand the quantitative relationship.

Learning abacus mental arithmetic will have a certain effect on exercising fingers and brain, and quick calculation is good for improving baby's self-confidence. However, domestic researchers are conducting related research on the role of abacus mental arithmetic in baby's intellectual development; To what extent abacus mental arithmetic can improve the baby's mathematical wisdom, and at which age it is more appropriate to start learning, remains to be studied.

If the learning effect of abacus mental arithmetic only stays at the speed of calculation, then I think it is not worthwhile for the baby. It is better to let the baby play more. Because there are many computing tools such as computers now.

Abacus calculation is a part of China traditional culture. From the perspective of protecting traditional culture, it should occupy a place in social culture. But not every baby has to go to school, which is another problem.

Maybe we should consider some more detailed questions: how to teach and learn abacus mental arithmetic in order to make the baby interested and profitable? To what extent should the baby learn? At what age did you start to learn well? Is my baby suitable for school?

It may be hard to learn abacus mental arithmetic, but if the baby is happy, hard work is also fun for him. The most important thing is to protect the baby's interest. If you lose your baby's interest in mathematics, even in school and study, it will not be worth the loss.

The benefits of children learning abacus mental arithmetic

1. Use both hands to promote the balanced development of children's left and right brains.

2. Eyes, ears, hands, mouth and brain are involved at the same time, effectively cultivating children's attention, memory, observation, imagination and thinking ability.

3. Cultivate children's good habits of being active, quiet and focused.

4. Quickly improve children's computing ability.
