The human brain can be divided into two parts (left and right). The left side of the brain is called left brain which controls languages and characters; the right side of the brain is called right brain that manipulates images. Both halves of the brain can be used for thinking, however, most children only use their left brain to think and solve problems due to the lack of right brain training.
While children always think through characters, they could not make a breakthrough in their thinking for being restricted by left brain thinking method for a long time. Starting from seven years old, children sometimes neglect to think about the answers whenever they are doing the maths application questions. They have formed a habit to give answers by reading specified words such as “total”, “left”, “divide” or “average” to do addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. When they reach the age of ten or above, parents just realize that their children’s thinking ability is weak. Nevertheless, it is too late.
In order to encourage children to think by using their right brain, Intelligent Mental-Arithmetic has carried out a “self-exploration” method for them. It is a method to think by dint of the images and learn by words after that. During the process of exploration, children will be able to acquire knowledge well. In the learning of the concept, children are required to think through the pictorial form of right brain. For example, when four pencils, five apples, three books and so on are described in words, children should transfer the numbers into beads on the abacus so that they will master the skill gradually.
The result of "self-exploration" is obvious. It not only accelerates the analytical speed of students in solving the mathematical problem but also makes the questions easier at the same time.
