The Rising Popularity of Soroban Education
In recent years, interest in soroban learning has surged. It provides children with essential skills such as mental calculation, concentration, memory, and information processing. Many elementary schools have begun incorporating soroban methods into their curriculum as a fundamental approach to mathematics.
At "Soroban Class 88-kun," the focus is on preserving the traditional elements of soroban education while ensuring that the curriculum remains enjoyable for young learners. From preschoolers to school-aged children, students can start learning without difficulty, accumulating small successes that build their confidence.
Additionally, the program introduces "image mental calculation," which promotes right-brain activity, thus enhancing concentration, memory, and creativity. The class also features a grading system that encourages students to set and achieve personal goals, fostering resilience and perseverance in their efforts.

The program promises to instill not just a love for learning, but also vital competencies that will benefit children in their future endeavors.
