What is an Abacus
The abacus is one of the oldest calculating tools in the world—yet it remains highly relevant today.
At Abacus School of Seattle, we use the traditional Japanese “soroban” to help children build focus, confidence, and mental agility.
Mental math skills
Improved memory and focus
Faster and more accurate calculation
Visualization and problem-solving abilities
Patience, discipline, and confidence
More than Just Math
Learning the abacus is not just about doing calculation faster.
It’s about training the mind to visualize, process information efficiently, and solve problems logically.
Children who practice abacus develop:
Strong mental calculation skills
Sharp concentration and focus
Enhanced memory and imagination
Confidence in math and beyond
With time, many students can perform complex calculations mentally, visualizing the abacus in their mind - a powerful brain-training effect known as “Anzan”(mental abacus).
Why Abacus Matters in the Digital Age
In today’s screen-driven world, many children are losing opportunities to develop deep thinking, persistence, and memory skills. instant access to answers through technology can sometimes weaken true learning habits.
