Step-by-Step Guide for Success, Speed & Confidence!

Abacus competitions aren’t just about math — they’re about speed, focus, and pride! ✨
As a teacher, helping your students shine in competitions is a great way to boost their confidence, your reputation, and your academy’s growth. Here’s how you can prepare your students to win medals and master mental math! 🧠🏅

🎯 1. Start Early, Practice Smart

The earlier you start, the better your students perform. Here’s how:

🔁 Daily Practice Routine:

• 15 mins of mental sums

• 15 mins of speed practice

• 15 mins of visualization drills

📅 Prepare a weekly challenge with a target sheet or timed practice test.

🖨️ Use free printable worksheets and speed drills to keep things engaging.

📊 2. Set Performance Benchmarks

Students need goals to stay motivated. Use:

✅ Timed worksheets
✅ Accuracy charts
✅ Speed tracking graphs

Use a stopwatch and record progress weekly. Reward improvements (not just perfect scores!).

🧘 3. Train the Brain: Focus, Not Just Fingers!

Competitions test mental strength too. Include:

🧘‍♂️ Breathing exercises before practice
🎯 Focus games like number flash, memory chains
📣 Positive affirmations to boost self-esteem

Let them feel like champions during every session!

🔄 4. Conduct Mock Competitions

📅 Organize practice events every month:

• Time it like a real competition

• Include written + oral rounds

• Invite parents to build excitement

• Offer certificates for participation

This helps remove exam fear and builds confidence.

🧠 5. Use Mental Abacus Visualisation

By competition time, students should rely more on their mental abacus than the physical one.
