Frequently Asked Questions
Does the program help children get better grades in school?
TLG Mental Arithmetic and Abacus Learning is based on visualization and visualization. This means that children learn to visualize problems and tasks in pictures. This leads to an improvement in understanding, an increase in memory and the acquisition of analytical skills, which has an overall positive effect on school performance.
If a child is a good math student, will the program still be useful to them?
The TLG Mental Arithmetic and Abacus Learning Program is open to all children, regardless of their academic level or qualifications in certain school subjects. Through the program, children improve in the subject of mathematics, but also experience significant improvement in subjects through the development of the right hemisphere (memory, concentration, etc.) A balance is created between the right and left hemisphere.
How much should children exercise?
In addition to 2 hours per week of class, the child should practice TLG Mental Arithmetic at home for 5-10 minutes per day to get the best out of the program.
What is the appropriate age to start this program?
The minimum age to start the program is 5 years and the maximum is 13. Numerous scientific studies have shown that the period when the greatest brain development occurs is approximately between 0 and 16 years of age.
Why at the age of five?
Because children at this age know how to read and write and also understand the meaning of numbers from 0 to 9.
Why did TLG choose mathematics for mental development?
Because the numbers 0 to 9 are international and they are taught the same way all over the world. Moreover, the numbers relate to daily life and, therefore, the practice develops the brain through the visualization of the abacus.
