The abacus is more than just an adding machine. The activity required to use the abacus provides your child with a visual experience of fundamentally important arithmetic operations. In addition to developing a sound understanding of the principles involved, using the abacus also enhances mental arithmetic skills.

Our multimedia lessons are designed for the beginner: clear animations, step-by-step demonstrations, graded exercises and instructional games. In a short time, your child will easily master the basic skills needed to use the abacus.

With multimedia as the engine driving our lessons, you have at your disposal a learning tool more effective than what books alone can provide. It is like giving your child his own personal tutor.
