My child is struggling with math. Can the SoRMEN education program help?
Yes. Since the abacus presents abstract multi-digit numerical relationships in a concrete bead-based system, children can easily relate number values and understand mathematical concepts. Experience shows that children struggling with math in school see a rapid improvement in their performance within a few months of starting the abacus program.
My child is very successful in math. Can they still benefit from the SoRMEN education program?
A student who is successful in math will definitely benefit greatly from the SoRMEN Mental Arithmetic program. A student who can quickly perform calculations mentally without using paper and pencil can focus their attention directly on more complex problems and advanced concepts.
