8 Phases of Mental Arithmetic Learning
At CMA, a child is trained to use his logical left brain to manipulate the virtual abacus image on his abstract right brain, thus effectively stimulating both sides of his brain to achieve speedy mental calculation and total brain development. This is possible with CMA’s unique Visualization System, done in three effective steps.
