Intelligent Mental-Arithmetic (IMA) Course     Chinese version // English version

Many of us are aware of the fact that human ability and wisdom are determined by three factors: inheritance, environment and education. It is therefore vital to attach importance to a child's inborn factor, environment in his later years and the influence through education if he is to be nurtured and to become a highly intelligent person. It is also important not to be indifferent towards a child's early education which is the major channel to develop mental power.

On the growth of human's mental brain cells, many education researchers and physiologists are of the opinion that a child's brain cells will be 70% developed upon reaching the age of three (3), and 100% developed from the age of four (4) to twelve (12). This speaks volumes for the importance of a child's early education and mental development.

Intelligent Mental-Arithmetic (IMA) course enables a child to develop both his left and right brains by adopting "Both-Hand Abacus Mental-Arithmetic" teaching method. Through the lessons learnt, the children will be able to build up their self-confidence and concentration during examinations and in any form of competitions. They will become self-motivated; will fall in love with their studies instead of being sluggish or negligent; will be more attentive and absorbed instead of being careless; and will be highly self-confidence instead of lowly self-esteemed.

According to a scientific study, the so-called "child prodigy" is but a common individual who happens to have been developed an earlier and better mental faculty. Since most children have not been able to receive the beneficial early education and therefore have under-utilized their brains to attain a desirable level which should have been achieved if they did. The exclamation of "child prodigy" is in fact an expression towards a child who has unusual or remarkable mental abilities.

Parents and guardians of the family, who are concerned with the future of their children, should therefore pay close attention to the development of mental faculty of the young ones, especially in the field of creative potentials. They should also cultivate the children to have a strong sense of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge; train them to involve themselves in a variety of interests and propel them to reach the self-study stage sooner in order to become a person with wide learning and innovation in this contemporary age.

Intelligent Mental-Arithmetic (IMA) adopts "Both-Hand Abacus Mental-Arithmetic" teaching method. By using the left and right hands to compute at the same time, it will produce stimulating effect for those who normally under utilize their right brains. For the schooling children, the method will be of great help to them in their ability and capability of calculation, response, concentration and memory, which in turn assist them to balance their brain power and strengthen the function of both their left and right brains.

The training course will also provide regular hours to further strengthen the brain power of the children so as to enable them to master the multi-digit calculations without depending on the abacus.

The latest teaching method is taught by using the "New Era Abacus" and the application of "Non-Formula", "Hidden Skill" and "Numerical Practice", the learning speed of which is 6 times faster than the traditional one. With this innovative method, children will be able to master the art of mental-arithmetic in a more relaxed environment without having to deal with any formula.

Furthermore, the essential aspect of our teaching is to pass on the skill of mastering abacus usage in a light and gentle way, with swift response to the subject matters accurately. The topics include vivid movement of body parts, proper calculation logic, stable learning mood which also touches on stability, patience, concentration, reaction capability and even setback-handling. With the harmonized coordination of body and soul, an ideal environment for learning will come about naturally.

A child is the darling in the eyes of his caring parents. He is also the future leader of the country. He will inevitably face competition and challenges in time to come. It is our sincere hope that more children will benefit from our training course, to equip them with the basics for a promising future.

Intelligent Mental-Arithmetic (IMA) course enables to develop children's mental faculty by using Both-Hand Abacus Mental-Arithmetic. The following are some skills which will be produced in IMA course.

Concentration Skill
Concentration is the concentrated and directed attention towards a particular matter with clear reflection that creates a deep image and mental impression. An enhanced concentration leads to better absorption power. Studying will then be a joyful thing for these children. In the abacus and mental-arithmetic education, children will be trained to concentrate when listening to the teachers’ question (that ranges from easy to difficult) and then focus on calculating the answers based on visualizing an imaginary abacus and its beads as accurately as possible.

Observation Skill
Observation is the ability to compare, analyze and differentiate objects, motives and steps .It is also a state of alertness and swiftness of the mind and sense. This comes from the need of students to understand the theoretical requirements of each calculation, the use of mental-arithmetic flash cards and at the same time be aware of the time and promptings from the teachers.

Visualization and Imagination Skill
By using the imagination of the right brain to visualize the abacus in mind, inevitably the powers of visualization would become sharp and clear. Einstein believes that the imagination is more important than knowledge, because imagination is the main source of yet-to-be-discovered knowledge.

Memory Skill
Memory is the ability to store and retrieve information and experiences. It has been found that memory in the left brain would not stay long, but an image that is recorded in the right brain would stay on in mind forever. By stimulating the right brain with mental-arithmetic, and in combination with the alertness of the eyes, ears and hands, the ability to store and recall is developed together.

Therefore, the ability to solve 10-digit calculation questions in only a few seconds is only a small success in comparison to the actual brain development that has been achieved during the training.
