Unlocking Your Child’s Math Potential through Abacus Competitions

October 14, 2024

In today’s fast-paced world, developing a child’s cognitive abilities and confidence is more crucial than ever. Abacus has stood the test of time as an effective method that enhances mental calculation abilities, allowing users to perform arithmetic operations more quickly and accurately without relying on calculators.

In addition, the abacus can help children to sharpen their focus, concentration, memory, cognitive skills and increase their confidence to tackle more challenging problems.

A key feature of Crestar’s abacus programme is the annual abacus competition, an enriching experience which can further boost the mental acuity and confidence of our students. Here’s how participating in such competitions benefits children while they learn to use the abacus as an enrichment tool.

We recently organised our annual Abacus Competition on 8 September, bringing together 67 students aged between 6 and 15 years old. The participants were grouped according to their age, ensuring a fair and balanced competition. These young minds demonstrated exceptional skills, navigating complex problems with ease and accuracy.

The event was more than just a competition—it was a celebration of growth and achievement. Parents who attended witnessed their children showcasing the skills they had developed through consistent practice and dedication. The top performers in each age group were awarded trophies, but all participants walked away with the satisfaction of having tested their abilities in a challenging and exciting environment.
