The 3rd Generation abacus is made up of columns of 9 beads, and it can be learnt very easily.
第三代珠心算算盘是由九颗珠子组成，相当简单。
Why the need to learn 3rd generation abacus compared to learning from the traditional abacus?
The traditional abacus will require students to memorize 6 sets of complicated formulas, thus young children will find it very difficult to understand and learn them.
Therefore 3rd generation abacus was invented, and it only requires students to memorize 2 sets of formulas, which students can pick up the skills faster.
It is a strategy of helping children to learn math concept in a simplified way.
第三代珠心算省去了传统珠心算繁杂的六套程式，只用两套程式，让孩童更容理解。
Who will be able to learn this course?
As long as the student is able to read and write numbers, he/she will be able to learn the course. Children aged 4 years to primary school students .
What are the advantages of learning this course?
This course can improve one's memory and thinking skills, and it also inculcates an interest in mathematics in the student. One can also learn how to add , subtract, multiply and divide both using an abacus and using mental calculation very quickly through the course.
It will help children who are in lower Primary in their understanding of number bond in Primary School Math.
犀课程可帮助增进记忆力与思考能力，并增加学生对数学的兴趣。
Will the student be able to take part in the grading Examination?
Yes, the student can take part in the grading examination for both abacus and mental.
Calculations, like for the traditional abacus course. In fact, the student can progress into the grading examination faster through the 3rd generation abacus course.
学生将可以参加珠心算的考试。

History
The abacus in various forms was used by different ancient civilizations. The Chinese abacus is one of the great inventions of China. During the 17th century, Chinese abacus was introduced to Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Europe. After nearly 2000 years of improvement, this calculation method has become the most popular, simplest and most accurate calculation method. Even as we advance into the technological age, the abacus still has an important role to play.
What is Abacus-Mental Arithmetic?
Abacus-Mental Arithmetic involves first learning how to use the abacus and later how to do mental sums using a set of formulae acquired during the first part of the lessons. At this later stage, learners do not use the abacus and rely solely on their mental memory. Using this method, learners have proven that they are able to calculate large sums at lightning speed, even surpassing those using calculators.
Benefits
This skill has proven to be beneficial in improving one's mental capability, increasing one's speed of response, memory power and concentration power. This course has become a compulsory curriculum in many countries such as Taiwan, China and Japan, and countries such as India, Malaysia and Singapore have introduced the curriculum to schools.
