Mental Arithmetic is a form of calculation that is solely done by the human mind without the use of pencil and paper, calculator, or any other gadget or electronic device.

During the training process, children are transformed into professional users of the abacus, an ancient Chinese calculator. Later on, a different set of mental training[s] allows the child to imagine or visualize a virtual or a “mental” abacus to solve mathematical problems. These mental arithmetic processes will act as actual training for the child’s mental skills that are occupied during the arithmetic solving process and will help to improve them.

Age Group Choice

Children and young adolescents in the age group between 6 and 15 years old retain significant adaptability in their brains, which allows growth and inter-connection of brain cells. It is easier for kids to acquire these skills at a young age, since what kids learn at a young age has a great influence on their future.

Imagine the influence and impact of UCMAS on the world. From our humble beginnings in 1993, UCMAS has proven time and time again that it is the pioneer in mental development programs for children. From our first center established in Malaysia, we have expanded our ideas of a better tomorrow for young children by stretching our ideas and concepts to every corner of the globe.

With over two decades of experience and ever-improving knowledge and innovations, UCMAS has established its global franchise brand in 5 continents covering more than 80 countries. UCMAS has around 5,000 centers worldwide and has helped over one million children around the world to date.

By incorporating innovative and modern teaching approaches with the application of the Abacus, UCMAS has established a new level of education that is beneficial to learners and is also fun at the same time. In addition, our approach generates more interest in learners.

UCMAS collaborates with The Chinese Zhusuan Association (CZA) from China and the Global Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Association (GAMA) to cater to newer and more improved scientifically–proven methodologies in the mental development field.

Apart from the numerous and prestigious awards received over the years, UCMAS was also recognized as the first organization in the mental arithmetic industry to achieve the ISO 9001:2000 certification.
