What is UCMAS?
UCMAS is short for Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic System - a certified course and unique child development program founded in Malaysia.
UCMAS started its operations in North America in 2004 and currently has over 70 locations across the network. Worldwide, there are more than 6,000 centres in over 80 countries!
UCMAS is based on the ancient, simple yet powerful Abacus tool that provides countable beads for children to visualize numbers. Children learn to manipulate those beads to perform arithmetic calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
After learning rapid math calculation with the help of the physical abacus, children later move on to mental calculations where they develop the ability to picture the abacus in their minds and calculate quickly.
This crucial concept of visualization uses the right side of the brain and leads to dramatically higher levels of speed, efficiency and accuracy!
UCMAS enhances auditory, visual and kinaesthetic/tactile learning styles in each child! It fosters active learning and activates key cognitive functions including:
