SPECIAL: On the Abacus

Author: Henry-Cameron Allen, author of The Lost Traveler's Field Guide July 7, 2023 Duration: 1:15:45

The journey of Sensei Miwako Sakabayashi began in Japan, but it really changed course when she moved to Portland, Oregon, USA, and founded JAMS (Japanese Abacus Mathematics School), the only math school in the Portland and Beaverton area certified by the League for Soroban Abacus. They use the teachings of Abacus & Anzan instruction to build a solid and strong foundation of mental mathematics with lifelong skills. Mental math calculation is a skill that children retain for life. Abacus gives any child the skills and confidence to excel in STEM-related subjects beyond the classroom. When a child experiences success, they naturally grow in confidence and self-esteem, as well as in their desire to continue the pursuit of that success. What’s more, with JAMS specialized instruction, every child will build a solid and strong foundation of mental mathematics with lifelong skills.


The abacus doesn't only have these proven positive effects on children... but on people of every age! This is why she has also started offering Abacus Online, for anyone and everyone to unlock their brain's full potential. Sensei Miwako believes it is her mission to help you find the secret to keeping your brain healthy no matter the age.
