The study of AMA teaches children not only to become
proficient in computation but also develops their mental
faculties to be more analytic and creative.

Abacus is a tool used to calculate mathematical operations of
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Mental Arithmetic is a form of calculation that does not
involve the use of any physical external instruments such as
the abacus, electronic calculator or any other primitive or
state-of-the art implementation instrument. It is done solely
in the mind, i.e. mentally.

Abacus and Mental Arithmetic : Another way of carrying out
mental arithmetic is the bead method. In this way, we use an
imaginary abacus in our mind to calculate any mathematical
operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division.
Advantages Of Learning Mental Arithmetic
The continuous practice of mental arithmetic will produce the following
results.

Revolutionize traditional mathematics ;The special skills learnt will
enable the students to calculate with amazing speed and accuracy.

Improve students co-ordination ; The fingering techniques stimulate both
the left and right sides of the brain and improve interaction between the
mind and the body.

Optimum exploitation of the human brains resourses :Scientists have
found out that man only use one-tenth of his brains potential most of the
time. Mental arithmetic skills help to tap the vast treasures in the brain.

Build up students confidence :Students will have acquired the skills in
mastering figures, thus eliminating their fear in dealing with figures and
boosting their confidence in problem-solving.

Improve students concentration and absorption power :Mental
arithmetic not only stirs up students interest in arithmetic but also trains the
students to be more discipline, thus improving their concentration and
absorption power.
