The Abacus Club eClassroom

The Abacus Club eClassroom provides online maths learning by using the Japanese Abacus (also known as the 'Soroban'). You will learn through the use of various engaging maths related activities such as puzzles, games, videos and audio activities.

At The Abacus Club, we believe that every child has the ability to be good at maths.  What your child needs is the right approach and learning environment.  Whether you feel your child needs more of a challenge or you just want your child to feel confident keeping up with their peers, The Abacus Club is results-driven.

There will be more FREE resources uploaded.  In the meantime, If you would like to see the format of the online learning platform, please register and select Online FREE Toucan 1 course  for a two-week access under Free Resources.  You can also learn the soroban remotely by looking through our available courses below within Students' Platform.  Click on the 'i' icon to find out what is being covered within each of our courses.
