Mental Math For Kids


UCMAS Mental Math for kids in New Zealand is a proven and certified math teaching program for kids. This program will help and enable them to enhance their computational and numerical skills. This program is one of the leading and most sought after programs as it has a great capability to help a child develop his mathematical skills from an early age.

We know how important it is to make our child capable and well versed with this particular area of learning so he or she can solve the questions and calculative problems effortlessly. This will instill a certain amount of confidence in a child about his capability in his problem solving abilities. That’s what we want, that’s what every parent wants and most importantly that’s what every kid wants because it will eventually lead to his excellence in academic performance in this subject of learning.

What does our vision hold?

Under our program we want to enable kids of the age between 3 to12 to learn mathematics through an innovative and interesting program that will help create a strong foundation in their academics for life.

The interesting and innovative tool we utilize to equip these kids with excellent mathematical skills is abacus. This ancient ingenious tool not only helps them to solve numerical calculations with absolute ease but also brings a certain level of proficiency in our kid’s abilities. Overall brain development is the by-product of following and learning this program in early and formative years.

Our Primary Aim

To provide a skill set to our students that will help them solve mathematical problems whether visually or verbally.

To train them to solve mathematical problems with confidence.

To offer invaluable services to the future generation so that they can become strong individuals contributing to the betterment of the society with immaculate professional and ethical values.

Better Creative and Visualization ability.

A skill to solve mathematical problems with accuracy and speed.

Significant improvement in overall academic development.

Enhanced analytical ability.

Understanding our brains

We all have two different hemispheres in our brains. The left side and the right. We know both sides work differently when confronted with certain questions and problems. Let’s talk a bit in detail about both.

  • The Left Hemisphere is concerned with logical thinking. What other important functions credited to its solving abilities contain the matters related with numerical, theoretical and analytical.
  • The right Hemisphere while is which is the creative side of the brain concerned with managing emotions, intuitions and imaginations.

Now what we are trying to understand is that most of the children and the students use only one of the sides of their brain which engenders lack of integration in the whole brain structure that leads in the long run for stunted overall academic performance.

Our Mental Math for kids program enables the kids in the integration of both the hemispheres of their brains. This enables them to bring a certain amount of harmony to their brain functioning ability and it leads to an unprecedented growth in their overall performance.

Let’s see how it works

  • Reading- While doing equations, kids read the beads on the abacus. What it promotes is that it allows the eyes to send a visual to the brains. Then it places a picture of Soroban in their mind allowing the right hemisphere to create the picture of the abacus. Being a faster processor the right hemisphere allows the kids to do a faster calculation in their minds.
  • Listening- Usually the average adult has a certain difficulty when he tries to solve a numerical problem without the help of a pen and paper because his mathematical journey has been dominated by reading numbers. But at the same time if we listen to the numbers, it trains the brain in an all new different way. This auditory pathway allows them to develop brain power and give the kids an opportunity to excel in the mathematical calculations in their mind.
  • Flash Anzan- This literally means math in Japanese. As we know the use of abacus started in Japan and then systematically followed suit all across the world. It’s practiced using listening as well as flash. As we enter somewhere we take information from our surroundings. While doing this flash Anzan kids are more involved visually and are absorbing the numbers in their minds.

With time their visual ability is enhanced and abacus working in their minds is sharpened. It allows them to perform and make calculations very efficiently in their minds. That is how all the difference is created when kids are given proper training in working out with both the hemispheres of their brains and creating a certain harmony. All this process enables our kids to transform their mental math abilities for their own advantage.

Comprehensive and easy lesson plans

UCMAS Mental Math program makes step by step efforts and utilizes conscious pedagogical techniques which help the kids take their own time comfortably to understand and imbibe the whole concept. It’s absolutely necessary that our students don’t feel any pressure while learning and we make sure the whole process is interesting and fun to learn. That’s why we are one of the best platforms offering this ingenuous program here in Auckland, New Zealand. For more information on the subject and the programs we offer you can visit our website and contact our professionals to enroll your subjects within our program. We assure you that it will be one of the most enriching and informative experiences for your child that will also eventually be of considerable benefit in the long run of overall academic life.
