BASIC ABACUS PROGRAM
(Level 1 to 4)

Helping Young Minds Build Strong Number Foundations

The Basic Abacus Program (Level 1 to 4) at Think Abac is designed for young children who are beginning their journey with numbers. This program focuses on helping children understand how numbers work, rather than memorising steps or formulas. By using visual abacus techniques and child-friendly teaching methods, learning becomes natural, enjoyable, and stress-free.

Who Is This Program For?

This program is ideal for children aged 5 to 7 years.


At this age, children are developing their ability to listen, observe, visualise, and coordinate finger movements—skills that are essential for strong mathematical thinking.

The Basic Abacus Program supports children who:

  • Are new to abacus or mental maths

  • Need better focus and clarity in numbers

  • Feel hesitant or unsure about maths

  • Are ready to learn in a structured but gentle way

What Children Learn in This Program

In the Basic Abacus Program, children are gradually introduced to numbers through visual and hands-on learning. They first learn about the abacus itself—its parts, counting methods, and correct fingering techniques. Once the basics are clear, children move on to understanding simple rules that make calculations easier and more logical.

Children practice addition and subtraction using small and medium numbers, allowing them to build confidence step by step. Alongside calculations, they also engage in mental maths activities, speed writing, oral sums, and listening-based exercises. Worksheets and guided practice sessions reinforce what is taught in class, helping children remember and apply concepts independently.
