Most people have heard of and have seen an abacus, but few truly understand the usage of this, and how powerful using an abacus can be.
The technique itself is thousands of years old, and is used all over India, China and other areas of the world, but appreciation for this learning method is now reaching Scotland, with Supermaths Academy proud to introduce this learning method in Scotland.
