Mental Math vs. Abacus, Which is Better and Why? - Easy Maths Academy

Many parents often ask, "Should my child learn Mental Math or Abacus?" At Easy Maths Academy, we say — why not both? But let’s first understand the difference:

Mental Math is the ability to solve sums in your head, using logic and practice. Abacus builds the base for Mental Math using visualisation and finger movement.

Here’s how Abacus stands out:

• Abacus creates a mental image of the beads, which helps children calculate faster.
• Unlike Mental Math alone, Abacus uses both the left and right brain for development.
• It improves speed, accuracy, and memory all at once.
• Kids who start with Abacus easily move into Mental Math by Level 5 or 6.

At Easy Maths Academy, our program is designed to build all four skills – Finger Theory, Abacus Theory, Mental Theory, and Vedic Maths.

So instead of choosing one, give your child the power of both.
