Speed Writing:
Speed writing practice is aimed at writing numbers at a fast pace, neatly and legibly by the children. Speed
writing initially may affect neat and legible handwriting of numbers. But with steady practice the skill to write
at good speed neatly and legibly is attained. Since practice is a must for every child, children shall write
numbers as per tutors instructions within a set time. After a month of practice the children will be able to
write fast, neatly and legibly. Abacus Tutors should ensure legibility & neatness first and subsequently speed.

visualizing and moving the sliders of abacus mentally according to the numbers and write the answers in the
fingering section of the book.

the value 1111111101 on the abacus.
Horizontal Subtraction:
Starting from the 16th column set 1111111101 on the abacus, subtract 123456789 horizontally until you reach

column, 5 in the 11th column, 6 in the 10th column, 7 in the 9th column, 8 in the 8th column and 9 in the 7th
column). Subtract the Same number in the Same column for nine times until you reach zero on the abacus.
Oral Sums Practice: 3 digits 20 rows
Call out random numbers to the children and instruct them to compute the called out numbers on their abacus
and write the answers in the fingering section of the book.
