Frequently asked questions

Abacus Mind Maths is a skill that develops over time with consistent practice. While you may see quick results in your child’s ability to use the Abacus, starting to do Mind Maths with ease—like students such as Shivaansh here—usually takes around 4 months.

Younger children might take a bit longer, as each child progresses at their own pace and in their own way. With consistent practice and regular use of the workbooks, your child will achieve impressive results and develop skills that will benefit them for life.

The Abacus Mind Maths Programme is designed to be completed within 24 months.

However, we understand that every child learns at their own pace, so after the 24-month subscription, we give you a further 12 months free access at no extra cost! That’s right—three years for the price of two. This extended period not only allows your child to have ample time to master each concept and reinforce their learning whenever needed, but it also gives younger siblings the opportunity to complete the course as well.

This family subscription offers incredible value, ensuring that all your children can benefit from the programme.

Our Mind Maths Programme is designed for children aged 5 to 16. However, students who are over 16 are also welcome to join if they would like.

During childhood, the brain is developing and creating synapses – or connections. The brain’s plasticity means that repeated actions help form and strengthen these connections. Regular practice with the Abacus enhances these synapses, resulting in the skills being retained for life.

While even younger children from age 4 can start learning the basics of the Abacus and simple arithmetic, most of our students begin the programme around age 7.

If you’d like to discuss your child’s specific needs and determine the best approach for them, we offer a free, no obligation 1-to-1 consultation. Click here to book !

Abacus Mind Maths offers a distinct approach compared to typical online maths programmes. Unlike those that rely solely on algorithms and computer-based instruction, we provide a more personalised experience. Our milestone examinations are assessed by real teachers, allowing us to closely monitor your child’s progress and pinpoint areas where they may need additional practice.

We recognise children are developing in every way and so to reduce screen-time and give little eyes a rest from glare, our workbooks are purposefully designed to be downloaded, printed and completed offline. This approach ensures that your child benefits from both interactive and tangible learning experiences.

Absolutely! All our packages are designed for the entire family.

Every child in your family can fully benefit from the Abacus Mind Maths Programme. Once the initial two-year subscription is complete, we provide an additional 1 year of access completely free. This ensures that all your children have the opportunity to complete the course at their own pace.

All our memberships are family memberships, covering all siblings in the family. After the initial 24-month subscription period and full payment of the course, we provide an additional 1 year of access completely free. This ensures that all siblings in your family have the opportunity to complete the Abacus Mind Maths programme at their own pace.

For an average family this means from just £20 a month per child (less than €25 a month) or 69p per day!

With schools having closed in many countries during the pandemic, parents are rightly concerned that their children’s education has been disrupted and they have fallen behind. Schools are in a pressured position, needing to help children catch-up quickly, without having time to make sure that each child has fully learnt and grasped all the new information that they are receiving.

As Abacus Mind Maths is a skill, learning Abacus Mind Maths places your child in a strong position with the skillset to both catch-up and to excel academically, building their confidence with numbers and analysis. 

Abacus Mind Maths increase your child’s understanding and mental flexibility, giving them a significant advantage over their classmates. The result is a strong academic ability to understand new concepts more quickly, and power their catch-up efforts not only in maths but in all subjects.
