From A Math Tournament: Mental Abacus (Soroban) Competition In Asia

Kids train to visualize an abacus for rapid calculations.

 They solve complex math problems mentally, often faster than calculators, by simulating bead movements with finger flicks

According to Grok: “mental abacus training significantly benefits children long-term. Studies show it enhances math skills, working memory, concentration, and problem-solving, with effects lasting decades by improving neural efficiency.

“If the child enjoys it, the time invested is worthwhile for cognitive and academic gains.”
