Universal Concept Of Mental Arithmetic System (UCMAS) by agborodun: 5:12pm On May 03, 2015 |
Universal Concept Of Mental Arithmetic System is a skill development program that aims at bringing out the best in every child. This program originated in Malaysia and now is spread out across more than 60 countries and over 3 million students' word wide owing to the fact that UCMAS produces tangible results in children enhancing their creativity, concentration and confidence. In today's competitive modern day and age it is utmost necessary to create a platform for children to enhance their brain development. UCMAS abacus mental arithmetic programs are designed to mobilize the learning imitative of children to reach faster, think deeper, understand deeper and in turn assist in the retention of the lessons taught in the school. Mental Arithmetic is a form of calculation that does not involve the use of any physical or external gadgets / instruments such as a calculator or a computer. The calculations are solely done by human mind using mental power. To achieve this, UCMAS utilizes an ancient Chinese tool called the Abacus. The children are taught to calculate using the abacus by mapping the beads to numbers in their mind and the calculations are performed by moving the beads accordingly. This way, through continuous practice, the children register the numbers as images in their right brain and eventually can perform mental mathematics at exceptional speeds without the help of the abacus and their speeds are faster than that of electronic calculators. I watched the UCMAS Quiz on TV3 today and I was amazed at the way children of between 4-10 solves complex mathematics without using any calculator. Who has heard of this before? Its so wonderful. see the picture of how the children solve maths with their fingers in this link. I really wish this come to Nigeria. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--y9B5vbhc--/saqlzwd8uegxhfmxh83z.gif http://www.modernghana.com/news/270521/1/ucmas-quiz-starts-showing-on-gtv.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-2L6ZxFacg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWIn_EFWmhA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J6t1j38TaM 6 Likes 4 Shares |

UCMAS is an amazing thing! I've always watched it in Ghana TV and I always wonder how children so small can solve such complex arithmetic without even delaying a second. I didnt hear of anything like that when i was small. I won't mind being a rep for schools here. All children deserve a chance at this. 1 Like |

there are so many things that affect the average Nigerian child. We are talking about undernourishment, access to safe and clean drinking water, enrollment in primary school, access to treated mosquito net and a host of others before talking about implementing Universal Concept Of Mental Arithmetic System (UCMAS) in Nigeria 6 Likes |

Very good!. Malaysians, Indonesians, in fact all South East Asian countries have learnt their lessons from Colonialism and have scrapped the old colonial school curriculum that kept them in mental slavery and poverty. Only the right type of education can set us free. Unfortunately, Africa is still no way near laying the foundation for true education without any colonial hangover. A system of education that will see us grow in economic independence and real freedom. Africa should do same!. Until we scrap the old colonial missionary style of education that we inherited from colonialism, we will continue churning out educated fools from our schools. Details:- (1). Elite brainwashing is the last stage of mental slavery http://www.africason.com/2015/05/elite-brainwashing-last-stage-of-mental.html (2). Africa cannot develop without mastery of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics. http://www.africason.com/2014/06/african-school-of-grassroots-science.html?m=1 9 Likes 2 Shares |
