Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor – Slots, Sliders / Colour Images

Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor – Slots, Sliders / Colour Images

Each slot in the Indian Abacus – Digital for Tutors will have 4 lower sliders and 1 upper slider.  (All the lower sliders could be moved towards the bar individually and together also)  Similarly they could be moved away from the bar individually and together also.  Each lower slider, when individually moved towards the bar, unhidden a green colour image.  Similarly, the upper slider could be moved towards and away the bar.  By moving towards the bar, the upper slider unhidden a red color image,  and moving within the slot – up and down, hide and unhide the colour images which mean values individually and together.

Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor -Oral Sums Call out & Remote Control

The Indian Abacus-Digital for Tutors is designed using Hardware and software for various other training & testing requirements.  Calling out of sums (orals) using inbuilt Mp3 Player – the system provides calling out of oral sums – the speaker provided on each Tutor's Abacus enables reaching of the output to the entire class room; Deferred Displaying of answers after verifying the children's answers; Conducting the assessments using the countdown timer;  Setting time duration for the tests when conducted.  Using the Remote control unit, the tutor could control all the activities from one place simultaneously observing the students' individual performances.  (The tutor can more dynamically work optimizing the time required for different activities)

Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor -The LED screen

The Digital Display screen, an integral part of Indian Abacus – Digital for Tutors, is connected through the required hard & software, so that when the sliders are moved on the slots towards and away from the bar, display the corresponding values on the digital display screen. (When the sliders are moved for a sum while explaining or demonstrating, the movement of the sliders post the values and numbers on the Digital display screen) The Tutor while explaining and the student while working to learn on the Indian Abacus - Digital – for Tutors, could check the values / numbers of the images projected.

Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor -The design 

The design of the Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor enhances the scope for largely improved quality learning.  The skill to visualize post-learning will be better since the images for the value positions in Indian Abacus are highly distinct due to the colour.  Further the digital connect has been given to the device, both the Student Abacus and the Tutor's Abacus.  The movement of the sliders to the value positions apart from displaying the colour images also with the aid of the hardware and software built in enable the value in numbers are flashed on the LCD screen.  (The value displayed corresponds to the Abacus based manipulations done using the sliders – be it Addition, Subtraction, multiplication or division)  The tool thus aid  the Tutor and helps in better Abacus Training  & so better learning for students.

About us / Background  

Indian Abacus Private Limited is a Pioneer in Abacus Mental Arithmetic India Education for Brain Skills in India operating from the year 1999.  The company built a large network of coaching centers and developed effective Abacus teacher training programs.  A few lakhs of Children of 5 to 13 years of age derived benefits of abacus-based calculation skills and enhancement of mental abilities so far.  This was made possible by the tireless efforts of the company and the nationwide network. Mr. N. Basheer Ahamed, CEO who steered the company's operations during the years, had also implemented a continuous study based research on the tool-abacus and the methodology adopted for inculcating Brain skills in children using the Abacus tool.

The Abacus Tool - Past, Present & Future

Though there have been several counting and computational manipulative used over the centuries, only one historical tool has stood the test of time and survived till date: the abacus. The Chinese/ Japanese abacus, hailed as the magic frame of beads stands testimony to the greatness of this method of calculation. The company has used the manual abacus as the base for its training for years. Though it is an ideal model that had contributed to the growth of millions of young minds, it was time to adapt it to the needs of the Digital age, and reach out to more beneficiaries more effectively.  The CEO has been driven by this passion to transform the manual Abacus into the version of the future: Indian Abacus – Non Digital for students, Indian Abacus –Digital for students, Indian Abacus Non Digital for Tutors / Teachers and Indian abacus Digital for Tutors with remote control operation and the fruits of 13 years of research in the field of Abacus Education.

The pioneer in Abacus Education in India, Mr. N. Basheer Ahamed has applied his vast experience in the field. Creating and managing of the program structure and administering of the program - all these have gone into the invention and implementation of the revolutionary tool. Continuous back-end study of the usage of the abacus, program content, 'learning skills' of different children in different locations and environments have all contributed to the invention of the Indian Abacus and formulating the program structure.

Who can join:

Children aged 5 to 13 years are the primary beneficiaries of this specialised tool - “Indian Abacus” and the program.  Students can operate the tool easily and ‘learn–practice - test' program designed specially for the purpose.  

The child could learn Abacus skills, practice and master the skills and have the skills. Abacus India with the extended facility to work and also a greater advantage in regard to better visualization that the student experiences in comparison to the conventional or the generic abacus which has been in use till now. 

The student while operating Indian Abacus moves the Lower and the upper sliders to unhide and hide the colour images which represent values as before.The lower sliders when moved towards the bar unhide and display green colour images and similarly the upper sliders when moved towards the bar unhide and display Red colour images.  Thus with the display of colour images the visualization in Indian Abacus is many times better – stronger and faster – when compared to the generic Abacus.  Since Visualization is the key factor for better visual memory, Indian Abacus is much superior to its predecessor.
