Before joining Abacus Brain Gym, math used to scare me. Now, I solve problems quickly and even help my friends! Abacus training has really boosted my confidence and made learning fun.

There are many reasons I like abacus and here are some of them. Firstly, I like doing the homework! I like it because I like to win fun prizes from winning daily, weekly, and monthly on the Abacus Hall of Fame. Second, it helps me practice learning quick ways of doing math on a daily basis. Third, it has taught me how to get good grade averages. Abacus helped me reach my goal of having high grade averages in my school work. For the first time, I have all A’s on my report card since the beginning of this school year.The things that get me motivated to do abacus homework are: my mom’s encouragement, seeing myself improve at school with A’s, and being able to answer math questions quickly and accurately- even faster than my friends and adults. My teachers, family, and friends say, “WOW!!” when they see me do abacus math and that encourages me to keep working hard on my abacus.Now I want to talk about what keeps me working hard on my Abacus when I’m feeling low. I keep doing my Abacus homework when I don’t feel like it sometimes because I know it will help me to succeed in life and teach me to never give up.Abacus has helped me be a better listener, be more patient, focus more on my grades, and balance my time between sports and school.Because of Abacus, my mom and teachers don’t fuss at me so about listening. I finish what I start now because I’m more patient, and Abacus has helped me figure out how to do my school work and still have time for all the activities I like to do such as kung fu, dance, and hanging out with my mom.Lastly, I want to share a funny story about doing abacus. During the Christmas break, I was able to answer math problems faster than my cousin Vaughn who is studying to be a physicist at West Point. It was so funny seeing the look on his face. I was so proud of myself I couldn’t stop laughing! My goal is to get into college early and study to be a robotics engineer and I definitely know abacus will help me along the way. Abacus is a fun way to share my passion for math with my friends.

Abacus makes your brain stronger. Abacus is not just about math, it also helps you develop your brain. When you need to do a lot of abacus, your brain cells work a lot and new brain cell connections grow from one cell to another. These new connections mean that your brain became smarter. You can defeat yourself by using your brain.Everyone knows you can make improvements by trying hard. Improvements means that you work very hard. It also means that you work a lot and spend a lot of time to get good results. In abacus, you can have a lot of fun when you work a lot. If you go to this program, you may become the best math student in your class.WHAT DO WE DO IN ABACUS?We put our abacus on the table and we get our work sheets. These questions ask us to add or subtract numbers. Then our teacher tells us how many minutes we have to do it. If you do not finish before the time runs out, you do not deserve any tickets. When everyone finishes, our teacher turns on the computer and the computer reads out the answers for us to check. We do hard questions in abacus. Sometimes we do tests. When someone does a very good test, they will get some tickets.WHY I LIKE ABACUS?Different levels of Abacus have different color straps. When you completed a level of abacus, you get a new strap. If you pass sixth or first grade, you will get a trophy.I like abacus because I learn a lot of math there. I like to go to abacus because you play games there and it is a lot of fun. If you work very well, you can become the best champion in abacus. I like abacus because I’ve learned how to solve problems faster than my dad. Now he needs a calculator to keep up with me.I like abacus because you get tickets for doing a lot of homework. When you earn many tickets, you count them all, and then you ask your teacher what you can pick for a prize. There are a lot of good and useful things that you can get for your tickets. When you pick something, you have to give back as many tickets as it costs.I like abacus because I became the best math student in my class.

The Abacus Brain Study program helps you everywhere, especially in school. You may be left behind in school, but when you come to Abacus Brain Study, you’re on top of your school. Abacus helps train your brain. You can do very long equations really fast in your head, like 5+2+3+10-6... First, you learn how to use an abacus in Grade 10. Then you start to imagine an abacus in your head. Once you get used to it, you can do a question really fast.If I had time, I would help other students learn how to use the abacus. I would persuade them to come to Abacus Brain Study and join the fun. At first, it may be boring when you start learning, but when you do the homework and earn tickets; you get to buy items with your tickets. There are lots of fun things, like games (i.e. Monopoly, Life, etc.), lamps, DVDs, CDs and a lot more fun coming your way!Abacus helps you a lot. When you get started, you get an abacus, a binder with a schedule, and a backpack that says ‘Born to be a Genius’.Abacus helps you a lot in math. You can do stuff really fast in your head. At first, you hate math, then you love it. You’ll be happy you joined Abacus Brain Study!

I have been doing abacus since I was eight or nine years old and I’m 13 right now. I have been doing it for a long time because it gives me something to do and I think it has given me more concentration so I have been doing better in school. My school grade average is 97% right now, but in fourth grade, it was about 94%. iAbacus helped me do calculations in my head in just two seconds when adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing numbers.Abacus also gives me motivation to try new and different things. Abacus has and still is going to help me in almost anything I do. Abacus also helps me look at things in a different perspective.

Last year I started my abacus training and I have become better and better at doing fast calculations in my head.My mom tells me to do the abacus and I do a bunch because I want to win the "Annual Hall of Fame" and I really want to get that trophy. When I do my abacus it’s fun and I like doing more and more. Sometimes I don’t like doing it, but I want to pass my level and I want to keep going, because I want to get smarter.Another thing that motivates me is I want to do school quick. When I do my math subjects in school I can do it quickly because I learned the abacus. I don’t want to stop doing the abacus. I want to finish all my levels, because I can get smarter and I like it, I want to advance forward.I’ve enjoyed going through my levels and passing them. I want other kids to learn the abacus, so they can learn fast calculations in their head like me. I am thankful for my Abacus Brain Gym training.

I love learning abacus! It is a fun learning experience. Abacus has helped me excel in school. Abacus is exciting. To me, I would not have much to do during the week without homework to complete and classes to attend. One of them is Abacus Brain Study. Abacus is actually easy. Your mind will work hard though. In school, adding large numbers is no problem anymore, and with the extra multiplication and division in Abacus, school is now as easy as it can be. I think Abacus will help any child in math.

Abacus is good for you because it helps you with math. The more you practice, the better you get. Abacus helps you use both sides of your brain. It also helps you learn some of the patterns. When you don’t have an abacus, you can use image instead, so when you grow up, you will be very smart. You will be a much better person. Abacus can also help you in school.

It is cool if I can win a trophy. I am a little turtle that keeps moving forward bit by bit. Doing Abacus everyday helps me to do homework faster and get more 100s. Sometimes I think I am playing a math game against the computer. And Sometimes, I think I am a Neuron Trainer but not a Master yet. I wish that I can get 100 all the time.

"Abacus Brain Gym has given my daughter a new love for learning. She enjoys her sessions and is more attentive in her studies. It’s been an invaluable investment in her future."
Mrs. Salma Begum / ABG parent
"My daughter used to struggle with math, but after joining Abacus Brain Gym, she’s improved so much! I recommend this program to every parent looking to help their child excel."
Mr. Abdul Karim / ABG parent
I’ve seen such positive changes in my son’s math skills and overall confidence. The abacus training has made a huge difference, and I’m proud of his progress!
Mr. Tariqul Alam / ABG parent
“We pray for your organization to grow in all direction to reach more kids. We are anxiously waiting for the next level class, as we know it will be important and fruitful to our kids improvement. “
Smita & Subrat Sahoo/ ABG Parent
“ In less than 6 months, Neal has gone from 2 numbers addition to 8 numbers addition and subtraction all done in his mind mentally through his imagination skill. Although Neal is only 5 years old and in kindergarten, he has shown the learning skill acquired at the second grade level and he has become an excellent reader. We truly believe that the mental abacus training helps synchronize both sides of the brain to work actively for a much more efficient learning and help kids build confidence.”
Rina & Pankaj Gajjar/ABG parent
“I think one major benefit of the class is confidence/self esteem. When our kids are doing things that others cannot do, it will be a source of both. Today, Cole was doing some mental math - thinking of the abacus. A Watchdog (a dad that helps in the class / around the school) saw him and said “I can’t even do that”. Of course Cole was proud of himself and told me about it this afternoon. I’m with the Watchdog and can’t do it either! I’m really excited for our kids and what they are all accomplishing in the abacus class.”
Kristine Foster, Parent of ABG's student
“We are very strong believers of the program due to the benefits we observed in Nicholas and we enrolled our second son Alan who just started kindergarten. Both Nicholas and Alan love the abacus teacher and the classes so much that they rate her their best teacher! “
Annie Gao and Chang Liu, Parents of ABG's student
