event_available Abacus
Abacus is a one-of-a-kind class offered at Best Brains. We use an actual abacus tool, which is an ancient calculator designed to help with faster calculations. Abacus was designed in such a way that it automatically enhances the power of the right brain. Our right brain is the numerical center and also a place from where analytical memory takes shape. Abacus training enables memory development in spatial orientation. During the formative ages of 5-14, children have the capability of enhancing their brain power to the fullest. As your child's right brain develops more during the course of our program, they will be able to do complex calculations mentally. Our teaching methods will improve your child's concentration and overall thinking ability.
