1.

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 Tutor’s instructions within a set time. After a month of practice children will be able to write fast, neatly and legibly. Writing legibly has to be monitored. Speed writing of numbers – multiples of 5 sequentially on the reverse 5045403530 2520151005 I. Write the numbers as mentioned above in the book, row by row for the duration of one minute. II. Direct View: Simple writing looking at what is written on the note book III. Indirect view: Writing of numbers without looking at what is written IV. Left Hand Writing: The same number writing practice using left hand. V. Left handers must write the numbers using right hand.

2.

Image Flash: “Image Flash” is the activity which is done to give larger scope for the students to read the Abacus slider images representing values using which the students could have extended practice and also better assessment of their skills in reading the values of images at a speed. Flash Cards were used earlier, but with the advent of Indian Abacus program now the students have scope to view limitless number of images on abacus itself. With the usage skills to read the constantly changing image values, students experience better challenges which ultimately enhance their Visio–spatial memory skills, necessary to perform better in doing faster and accurate mental arithmetic skills by image of Abacus. Speed and accuracy in performing Mental Arithmetic by image of Abacus indirectly reflect their concentration & memory skills. The Abacus Tutor during “Image Flash” session alerts the students to focus on the activity of reading the values of slider images. The Abacus tutor would after saying ‘’Start’’ manipulates the sliders of the tool – “Indian Abacus – Tutors” continuously to make the students read the images one after the other and write down the number–value of each of such images flashed on the Tutor's Abacus and they should write the number values on their note books. The Tutor actually writes down a series of numbers – Single, double, triple, 4 digits, as the case may be, on a paper first and during the activity Tutor would manipulate the sliders looking at the numbers she wrote down which the students read and write.

3.

Oral Sums Practice: 1 digit – 10 rows, 1&2 digits – 12 rows Oral sums called out to the students to calculate and give the correct answers is a must and the time to be allotted has to be properly implemented. Listening to the sums called out and to do the same and to give answers, not only enhances the Listening skills, but also enables the memory to become stronger, apart from looking & doing the sums, the hearing sense also adds to establish better memory skills.
