IMA Creative Thinking Programme is specifically designed for children’s brain development. By adopting “Both-Hand Abacus Mental-Arithmetic" teaching method, children will be exposed to learning activities that can activate both sides of their brain in order to awaken their true potential. Generally, the creative thinking programme is divided into 5 levels. Students will be provided a variety of skills from easy to difficult during the learning period. The introduction of five levels of creative thinking programme are as follows:-
IMA Creative Thinking Level 1: “Self-Exploration” Methodology
Although both halves of the brain are used for thinking, normally most children only use their left brain to think and solve problems. In order to encourage students to use their right brain to think, Intelligent Mental-Arithmetic has carried out a "self-exploration" method for the students. It is a method to think by dint of the images and learn by words after that.
During the process of exploration, students will be able to acquire knowledge well. The result of "self-exploration" is obvious. It not only accelerates the analytical speed of students in solving the mathematical problem but also can make the questions easier at the same time.
IMA Creative Thinking Level 2: Thinking Through Images
Mathematical problems play a significant role in the syllabus of Mathematics in primary school. In order to help students have a better understanding of the questions, a series of creative thinking training has been specially designed. In virtue of the real image of beads, students are able to have a concept of numbers and to carry out the concrete analysis.
Thinking through images leads students to come into a self-exploration learning process and increase their brain power.
IMA Creative Thinking Level 3: Hearing Test Method
When a person receives any messages, the message will be progressed individually and bring out its relevant meaning. During the process, the person will be in the thinking mode.
Therefore, the hearing test through thinking questions, which is able to improve students' independent thinking skills and lay a strong foundation to the literal questions of the left brain, is adopted in IMA Programme. It helps them to develop their thinking ability swiftly by using the right brain.
IMA Creative Thinking Level 4: Radiant Thinking
We are not thinking in linear form, but radiation. Hence, when we think about a main topic, many related or unrelated ideas will come to our minds. For example, when we talk about "ice-cream", we will think of its sweetness, coldness and many flavours; from the word, "coldness", we will also think of ice cube and soft drinks.
At the same time, we will think about other related objects with the word classified, "flavour" followed by the image of fruits appearing in our brains. Then, our mind will become broad and will think of other things which are not really related to "ice-cream". These ideas may seem unrelated, but there is a link between each other in nature because each idea is arising from the initial idea. If we can utilize two or more of the ideas, it will be sufficient for us to inspire our creativity and imagination.
IMA Creative Thinking Level 5: Understanding Thinking Process
Naturally, the difference between human beings and animals is that the former has well-developed brains with higher intellectual abilities. Why people should learn to think? A person's life is the process of known to unknown and unknown to known and that is actually a process of learning and thinking. As a result, students are able to think wisely.
IMA programmes have been upgraded in order to achieve the best outcomes for the students. With more than 20 years of experience in this field, IMA creative thinking programme provides high quality of learning outcomes. It can be said that thought is actually a prepared weapon for hardworking people. All progress, all success springs from thinking.
