How does Smart Brain differ from any other Mental Maths based on the soroban?
Smart Brain teaches the child to use only one hand on the soroban. This ensure that confusion is avoided during complex mental calculations. Other providers use formulae in their teaching method. Advanced levels of Smart Brain teaching use “magic words” which are easy to assimilate and quick to recall. Smart Brain encourages children to participate in national and international maths competitions where their methods can be tested on problems set by other examiners. Instructors are accessible to parents and children alike and it is in their best interest to provide the best possible support to the child. Ultimately, the child will develop the self-confidence that will enable them to progress to higher maths levels in secondary school and to many other successes.
