ICMAS have been steadily and healthy since its establishment in the year 2003. With his deft and coordination movement of fingers and quick reflexes child greater speed, accuracy in mathematical calculation, essential for success in this high competitive world….
ICMAS programmed prepares the children initially, in the ancient arts of mental arithmetic using a tool, which is old Japanese & Chinese medieval calculator called “Soroban (Abacus)” for stimulation and balanced development of both left and right hemisphere of the brain. Though it is an ancient concept after rigorous and continuous research it has proved that this concepts has been successful in developing the overall excellence in academic of children. This is also a programme known for mental development so as to have creativity and discovering mental power of the child at an early stage. This program is meant for the normal child aged between 4+ till 14 years. With enhanced memory, concentration, comprehension and self-confidence, ICMAS children get over examination blues and other emotional problems caused by exam-related tensions. ICMAS is a unique and scientifically proven concept among so many nation that has help millions of children to develop memory, concentration, listening, and mental calculation and to over come their phobia for mathematics. It is an international concept for high valued –added quality training system.
In the ongoing age of chaos in handling the arithmetical problems among our children, we are proud enough to introduce the state of nature’s creativity and the first of its kinds in India, a new concept namely “International Concepts in Mental Arithmetic System” shortly called ICMAS. “AN ANCIENT DEVICE BECAME HANDY FOR MODERN MATHEMATICS”
Soroban (Abacus) mental arithmetic is all about ‘tapping the full potential of the child’… Children who dislike calculation may not necessary became the failure of life, but they do tend to have difficulties in life & might result to delay in the development of the brain function relative to calculation.īy teaching Soroban (Abacus) mental arithmetic child will improve their use of the arithmetic rules by twice in speed once they obtain this ability.
But the basics of life are made from calculation. The children in the world seem to have a tendency of disliking calculation. The learning of Soroban (Abacus) emphasizes the mental development from concrete to the conceptual, formal & symbolic which is the same process as Piaget’s and cognitive theory. This concept of thinking in picture enables children to achieve high level of speed, efficiency, accuracy, concentration and increase in memory power. This is done through memorizing a visual through the Soroban (Abacus) as a mathematical sum. The Soroban (Abacus) essentially teaches the children to become skilled in rapid mental mathematics with the help of the Soroban (Abacus) beads where the children use the single hand to manipulate beads initially. Each of the beads on the upper deck of the horizontal bar & the lower beads are represented by the unique value, which they derive when each of the beads touch the bar. A horizontal rods in the upper deck of the Soroban (Abacus) frame, divides one bead on the top & the other 4 below. Soroban (Abacus) is defined rectangular shape instrument lined with 23 vertical rods fitted with beads.
The adage “old is gold” has been further authenticated in the case of Japanese Soroban (Abacus), developed around 450 yrs ago being used by ICMAS as an education tools for enhancing mental ability in children.
