The ancient Romans designed the Roman abacus in the first century BC. They used it to perform fast arithmetical operations like addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. The abacus was made of a metal plate with one bead in the upper section and four beads in the lower portion. They used the beads for calculating. The dust abacus, the line abacus, and the grooved abacus are the three types of Roman abacus.
The students acquire various advantages with the Roman abacus.
Practicing the abacus is a regular exercise for the development of the brain. It activates and energizes the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
Besides doing arithmetic calculations, the brain speed also increases with continuous abacus practice.
Knowing to do the perfect calculation in their minds, the students don’t need to rely on others to solve any problem, both in maths and in their day-to-day lives.
Regular use of the abacus can increase by solving problems. Students can solve even complicated issues quickly.
The Roman abacus is a gift by Romans to sharpen our brain and for its overall development.
