Abakus Europe is a children's education brand that teaches mental arithmetic — calculating in your head. Pupils first practise on a physical abacus (soroban) and gradually learn to simply visualise the beads, so they can solve demanding sums in their minds. But the programme is about more than maths: it blends abacus work with a gamified BrainFitness approach that deliberately develops concentration, memory and quick thinking. Classes run in small groups either in a physical centre or fully online via the brand's own learning platform.
