The activity

Language Classes, explained

Abacus mental maths teaches children to calculate on a bead abacus, then to picture the beads and work out sums in their heads. Master Brain uses the BrainOBrain method, which the centre describes as a brain development system combining the abacus with NLP and brain exercises it calls Brain Gym. Children move through progressive levels with regular practice, and the centre says the aim goes beyond speed and accuracy to memory, listening, visualisation and confidence. Handwriting classes sit alongside it, working on hand position, posture, cursive and neat presentation. Master Brain's own online abacus page says the course suits preschool and primary school children, with each child starting at the level that fits their current skills.

Who it's for

Children, with some courses open to adults too. Published age bands: Learn Arabic 6-12, Introduction to Spanish 6-12, Scratch coding 6-10 and the online chess programme 6-18. Arabic, Spanish and chess run at introduction/beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The centre's online abacus page says the abacus course suits preschool and primary school children, from beginners to intermediate learners; the in-centre BrainOBrain page gives no age range - ask the provider.
