1 The skills beyond just the calculations:
It has been more
pronouncedly proven that Abacus exponent beats the non-abacus student hands
down, since the speed maintained by the Abacus trained student will be at least
5 to 6 times more on the minimum side.
Hence the Abacus students in the process prove that the arithmetic
calculations that they perform are in a mental mode, where the counting does
not take time to identify the object used for counting as the same is not the
beads in material but the beads as the images of them. The physical feel of touch becomes a mental
perception of having moved the beads which are images. The process therefore
involves images &perception which are the components of visualization, in
other words, the whole calculation is a visualizing process of mental
manipulations of beads on different rods.
Indian Abacus enables greater and more qualitative visualization possible thus
enhancing the quality of skills with lesser efforts.
