About
Kids learn to calculate on an abacus bead frame, then gradually move to picturing the beads in their head and doing sums mentally. The course runs through numbered levels, with an assessment and certificate at the end of each, plus homework every week. It suits kids who want faster, surer mental arithmetic, and also kids who struggle with school math and benefit from something concrete to hold.
