The present invention of Indian Abacus - Digital, the new-gen tool, will be a product of pride for Abacus users in India. The generic abacus which was new, years back has been far from meeting the changing requirements. Indian Abacus - Digital with its emergence takes the abacus users by surprise. The improvement in design could mean a great change in the learning and skill levels, post learning. Abacus has been potentially a great tool and has had a life that cut across times, generations, cultures and deserved exploration of further strengths from out of it through the changes / improvements / modifications in design, which would mean greatly impacting results.
The present Indian Abacus –Digital invention provides a new answer to the long lasting call for “generation change” with the evolution to bring in greatly desired “Visualization” a vastly impacting skill factor.
The birth of Indian Abacus - Digital is a solution to meet the inadequacies and the limitations that hindered the effective usage of the abacus to bring out the best of skills. The material, design, manufactures that are greatly different in the Indian Abacus – Digital brings in a great change in the Features, advantages and benefits of the Indian Abacus - Digital.
Conceptual facts:
- Visualization is the key to better understanding.
- Visualization is the key to better anchoring on to the object visualized.
- Visualization enables more reasons to be with the object of experience mentally.
- That Visualization as the right brain routine is the key factor for Abacus to change the Abstract numbers into objective experience, through image capture by the brain.
Visualization - a key factor of Abacus Calculations:
Visualization not only enables winning ability through speed, i.e. less time taken for a calculation but also takes the Abacus User into a mental plane which is a unique move from physical to mental plane. Better visualization process through Indian Abacus – Digital makes photographic memory much stronger. In the mental plane again, when the object is clear, the distraction becomes nil. The abacus calculation through visualization therefore takes the child during the process a state of total concentration. A skill that is bestowed to the child learning Abacus calculations.Indian Abacus – Digital enables stronger focus through better scope to concentrate.
Enhanced quality of Visualization:
Indian Abacus - Digital with its improved design features makes possible more qualitative visualization than the conventional Abacus which does not offer required scope for the visualization to attain its pinnacle. The colour images projected by the operation of the upper or lower sliders through their upper and/or lower movements towards the bar actually represent the value positions. The colour images and the representing values are very clear and more impacting in the Indian Abacus - Digital. The design features, advantages and the benefits explain the winning edge of Indian Abacus - Digital over the Conventional Abacus.
The need for Indian Abacus - Digital:
The Magic tool and the best of benefits that the children could derive through Abacus Training, the continuous study based research and search for an improved version of Abacus which could make the Visualization Skills more pronounced and to take the program to have a greater and wider reach – crossing the barriers of place and time, resulted in long drawn out work which culminated in the designing and making of the Indian Abacus - Digital. Indian Abacus – Digital would reveal in detail how much more the Abacus could benefit the children. The making of the Indian Abacus - Digital - necessitated continuous back-end work in designing which underwent series of changes to finally make the Indian Abacus - Digital a reality. Indian Abacus – Digital is now born. The child sitting in any corner of the country or any remotest location could now self-learn Abacus skills, practise and master the skills and have the skills tested for certification too through Internet / online.
User Friendliness:
The operation of ‘Indian Abacus – Digital’ for manual display of colour images and the display of answers on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen of the Abacus and the answer-verification when the answer is submitted into the website page, all are easy to comprehend and proceed smoothly for the student. The student can self-learn easily
PC / Laptop - working online:
Both PC and Laptop would have the accessibility for the Indian Abacus - Digital to work in unison. All that is required is the facility to access the website to work. The Indian Abacus - Digital gets integrated / softwareto access the site through PC or laptop equally well.
No difference in operation nor the values:
Children trained in Conventional Abacus can switch over to practising with the Indian Abacus - Digital, as there is no difference in operation nor the values. The changeover will be seamless and smooth and the students can continue pursuing their training and practice with the Indian Abacus - Digital with no time loss and does not involve any changeover time
Visualization is image capture:
Image capture is vividly greater through colour image projections in the Indian Abacus - Digital than the dull and mundane colour beads of the conventional abacus, which are all uniform and homogenous. In conventional abacus since the Brown colour of the beads, Value and non-Value beads through their bead positions actually blur the view resulting in not so - high - quality results and also end in stress to the eyes. Keeping these vital aspects in the mind and working towards Flash card like abacus value positions, the Indian Abacus - Digital came into its current form. With the clearly defined design and structure after a great deal of deliberations and trials.The design was perfected after a great deal of work - mental and physical.
Visualization is many times superior for students who use Indian Abacus - Digital:
The most important skill that the child getting trained in Indian Abacus-digital gets is the Visualization skill, which is many times greatly pronounced when Indian Abacus is used. The open slider positions (upper or lower belonging to any slot) display the colour images which impact the Left and Right brain and activate it. The scope for better Visualization facilitated by the Indian Abacus - digital, enhances the skills CONCENTRATION, VISUALIZATION (PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY) of the child. Visualization is the ability of any child to be able to mentally picturize or form an image of any object or an activity. The ability to visualize is the strong factor for better comprehension of any concept or experiment and the skill also leads to the imagination & creative skills.
Importance of the Colour images on Abacus:
The colour images displayed on the abacus would strengthen the visualization greatly better and image memory is developed faster and stronger.
Learn Abacus skills anywhere & anytime:
Any skill based program which can benefit children at any location and at any time (breaking the barriers of Place & Time) should have two basic characteristics – one, the program should contain a comprehensive package of ‘learn-practice-test’ modules in its scope and two, the physical tool should have the compatibility with the inbuilt facility (hardware& software) to access a PC / LAPTAP website offering the program.The tool Indian Abacus–digital thus enables accessing the destined website through computer landing, thus taking away the hitherto obstacles - Class-room learning and fixed time learning. It is therefore a Virtual class environment for the child opting to learn Abacus program using the Indian Abacus-digital tool and the Abacus skills learning site.
Method and Time to be adopted:
There is absolutely no difference in working / learning at the centre and working / learning / practising online but for the additional advantages of working online. In online working self-learning could be best attained, as all that is required for it are supported through the website. It is better to work for minimum number of hours in a dedicated manner as is done in the classroom. The learning and practice as recommended would give the best of results
