      If they don't take that stress now, they will not be successful when they are adult, then they will have to take stress.
      So better be prepared when you have your support system (parents) so that when they are not, children's can handle it.

    • @somno6878
      @somno6878 5 років тому +36

      My mum taught me how to do arithmetics including multiplication and division on a abacus when I was around 4. Later when I grew up I learnt that abacus could even do power calculations including root calculations. If one’s an abacus master, using modern calculators will not match with him in some basic arithmetics; it only takes seconds for one to do a 2-figure big-number multiplication on an abacus before anyone can even type down the numbers on their calculator. These kids have abacuses in their mind.

They're trained in techniques very specific to this kind of stuff, kind of like how athletes have to train their sport every day. So yeah, don't feel down because of this.

    I have learned all the levels of abacus and can tell they went through intensive training. In my personal opinion, anyone who still uses finger movements could get answer wrong, I keep my eyes open and focus on a spot and I am almost always right. Finger movements are muscle memory but it cannot move faster than your brain or imaginary beads. I see a biggggg abacus when I am calculating, but if I used my finger movements it would slow me down, again everybody is different.
    I can do 3 digits 20 rows with the same speed but never went further. I would love to try this calculation maybe at slower speed. I was also a teacher in Canada and kids here would not believe me. So I would show them my own demo and show videos like this. I have tried 4 digits 15 rows in my classroom, got correct answer but the speed was slow. Since I am older, I am not as good as I used to be but I can definitely learn. Amazing video.

    Amazing. I know there are math speed skills we can learn to do this kind of thing, but for all of them to be that close to the correct number is amazing. Even the 2 that got the number wrong were not that far off from the correct number.
    Thanks for the video.
