NUMBER CRUNCHING ON ABACUS LEADS TO BRAIN DEVELOPMENT

So many abacus programs are running in the market in different brand names, each one claiming to be the best. However none of the program could integrate the advantages of Vedic techniques in abacus education. When we tried to look for the answer, the only reason we could find was all abacus programs have prepared in south East Asian countries, which are heavily influenced by oriental methodology.

Smart League Education has taken the initiative to indigenise the abacus education and added certain unique vedic techniques in the program, the result is that smart league abacus programs have become very popular among students and parents.

“Ours is the only Indian program of international standard which will soon be conducted in other countries. Many schools have adapted this program as part of their curriculum, whereas two periods are given for ‘mental maths’, the teacher to student ratio is maintained at not more then 1:15, strict quality control is being exercised to ensure that maximum students get the benefit of the program.” Said the founding member Col Banbir Singh.

“We want sincere educationist to be part of ‘Smart League’ family, already eight schools in Bangalore have subscribed to the program as ‘Mental Maths’ and the same is being taught during the regular school hours, more than 5000 students are getting benefited with mental maths programs.” Said Ms Reeta Lamba, Regional representative Smart League, Calcutta, India.

“When the program is conducted in Smart League Education Centres (SLEC), the maximum strength in a batch is never allowed to exceed 15. In SLEC the main advantage is that one session is of two hours every week and as and when the requirement is felt an extra coaching is arranged on a pre-designated week day after school hours for doubt clearing session which are quite important. However the program is little expensive compared to schools when run in private centres. We have made the same programs available to the schools, who show keen interest in additional value education to give that extra edge to their students. The unique feature of our program is that schools have an option to see the effectiveness of the program by subscribing to our ‘Pilot Project’ where we introduce the concepts to single class, the minimum number students for pilot project is 150 students. The ‘Pilot Project’ is a low budget ‘Show Window’ for the schools to see the effectiveness of the program. At the end of ‘Pilot Project’ schools have an option to adopt the program for the entire applicable age group. When program is adopted for the entire school the cost benefit is given to the parents and program is made available at fractional cost, while maintaining the quality of the program.” Briefed Ms Anita Singh the regional Smart League representative at Rajasthan, Jaipur.

“The unique feature of the ‘Smart League Education’ is the availability of programs for different age groups i.e. Smart Maths program for 4-6 years age group where we introduce the number concepts and addition subtraction concepts to young ones, it is an international quality program, our basic program has two variations i.e. for 7-8 years and 9-13 years age group. It is done so that none of our student is stressed due to the intensity of the program (which happens on most of other programs). Each program is designed in such a way that the students ‘enjoy’ the program while learning the intricacies of ‘Mental Maths’ and ‘Success Skills’, our next program is called ‘Power Maths’ designed for 13 years and above with no upper age limit. The program is a unique combination of ‘Chisen Bop’ and ‘Vedic’ techniques where the best of the techniques have been integrated to give maximum benefit to the students. This program is particularly popular with students who are preparing for competitive exams i.e. management related or other competitive exams where number skill are tested against time, and have to attempt number crunching problems in a short time.

To the best of our knowledge such a variety of programs is not available with any other mental maths education company/academy.” Said Dr Ajay K R a renowned medical practitioner and the founding member of Smart League Education.
