About Us
We make use of the ancient Japanese abacus and teach children from as early as 3 years old to unlock the true potential of their brains and teach them the language of maths. We lay a solid foundation helping children to reach their full potential.
We take pride in what we do and what we make possible – from the quality of our products and services to the people who stand behind them. What matters to us most is how we help build a better South Africa.
We are passionate about children, the Japanese Abacus, our product, service excellence, education and the future of children in our beautiful country. We serve our schools and communities with value and integrity.
Abacus Maths South Africa has been blessed to be in partnership with our South African Communities since 2006. Our dedicated instructors have a passion for working with children and for sharing their knowledge and skills, helping each child to develop to their full potential. Our vision is to create an environment where young students are motivated to receive the gift of learning. Our students are able to start at age 3 or 4, where we teach them the language of Mathematics, basic conceptualization, number sense up to a 100 before we embark on the amazing Japanese Soroban course
Abacus Maths is offered as an extra mural activity at many schools over South Africa. Our programme is based on similar programmes that are offered in Japan and many other countries.
We help our children to develop, explore and discover their talents and their skills, preparing them for a lifelong journey of learning. Abacus Maths helps to transfer a range of skills to our students like visual memory, focus, concentration, confidence and problem solving. With the support of parents and schools in our area, we have grown from just one branch to forty branches, all adding value to the South African education system.
It is such a privilege to work with children – we know that what they learn through us will benefit them now and in their future and it will help build a better future for our beautiful country South Africa.
We are a franchised business affiliated to FASA since 2012. Our Head Office is in Roodepoort, Gauteng. Abacus Maths is offered as an extra mural activity at centres and schools in all 9 provinces of South Africa. Our programme is based on similar programmes that are offered in top educational countries such as Japan.
Benefits of Abacus Maths
We make use of the ancient Japanese abacus and teach children from as early as 3 years old to unlock the true potential of their brains and teach them the language of maths. We lay a solid foundation helping children to reach their full potential.
Here are some of the biggest benefits of working with the abacus, and
of using our programme:
- We create a solid foundation for learning the four pillars of Maths: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
- More than this, working with the abacus leads to the development of the whole brain, with both right (creative) and left (logical) hemispheres benefitting.
- Children particularly between 3 and 13 will learn the beautiful language of Maths.
The method we teach not only creates a strong foundation for numbers, but students also absorb a culture of enhanced concentration, logical thinking, improved comprehension, listening skills and sound reasoning, together with people skills, teamwork skills and emotional intelligence. - All of this naturally leads to an increase in self-confidence and self-esteem.
- Problem-solving abilities are augmented.
- Photographic memory develops as the brain learns to use the triggers and levers correctly.
- Maths becomes fun and enjoyable.
