experimental group showed that abacus as a tool can help students prioritize and
concentrate, thereby switching their attention to their abacus and worksheet.
Using abacus also removes the need for regrouping so they can spend time shorter
than others. Shwalb and his colleagues (2004)
found in their research how
motivation for mathematics is influenced by attending abacus training: whenever
the researcher gave the students worksheets,
they would directly do the
calculations using the abacus. This kind of response was analogized to the
students as if seeing their favorite food.
