【课程内容】
本课程用94堂课生动有趣地教授了在珠算基础上创新形成的一种能“在脑中打算盘”的方法，俗称“珠心算”。珠心算可以进行加、减、乘、除、乘方、开方等运算，熟练后其心算速度非常惊人，中国人用这种方法创下了世界吉尼斯心算记录。

Established in 1980, Xu Sizhong AMA (Abacus and Mental Arithmetic) has benefited more than ten million children from countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa in the past 35 years. Xu Sizhong AMA has made many ordinary children prodigies in mental arithmetic or geniuses at maths. The space hero Zhai Zhigang was amazed by the children’s mental arithmetic skills after watching them performing Xu Sizhong AMA.
Professor Wang Yiqiu, the Former Executive Vice President of Beijing University and a famous educator, thinks highly of Xu Sizhong AMA which "enlightens the minds, fosters wisdom, and enhances memory and critical thinking skills; there is also fun for preschool children to learn such innovative education".
Special Features
Xu Sizhong AMA App is the first creative product on AMA in the international education circles. It is also a brand new AMA teaching mode by means of games. There are more than 90 lessons. Each lesson takes about 25 minutes and consists of 3 parts.
Part 1 Class of originality. To introduce things which children are familiar with via situational carton stories; the mysteries of mathematics are revealed in a direct and visual way, helping children learn the essence of mathematics.
Part 2 Training camp. It is made up of four sections: Sharp eyes, Challenging your eyesight, Golden fingers and Super brain.
1. Sharp eyes, a three-in-one test, to help children enhance attention, memory, and responsiveness.
2. Challenging your eyesight to help children develop the ability of visualization (to think in images).
3. Golden fingers to help children develop balanced coordination of eyes, mind, hands and ears.
4. Super brain to help children rapidly improve their mental arithmetic skills.
Part 3 Great Adventure. It consists of 2 parts, to compete with a robot or a partner.
1. To compete with a robot. There are four kinds of mental arithmetic challenge modes with different degrees of difficulty between human and machine.
2. To compete with a partner. You can compete with online partners all over the world in mental arithmetic games whenever and wherever possible.
Our App has an intelligent problem-setting system. The problems can be given automatically according to users bead-moving speed. The faster users move the beads, the faster new problems will be shown. The answering system for exercises of mental arithmetic adopts voice and touch interfaces, recreating the interactive teaching situation in the classroom. Therefore, it is a truly personalized design.
Course contents
The course consists of more than 90 interesting lessons in which the method of "calculating on the mental abacus" is instructed. This method is an innovative result developed on the basis of abacus arithmetic. It is also known as "AMA" (Abacus and Mental Arithmetic).
AMA can be used to solve arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, as well as in obtaining the powers and roots of certain numbers. The mental calculation speed of learners skilled will be incredibly fast. The Chinese made use of this method to set a new record in Guinness Book of World Records in Numeracy.
