“Abacus method of learning is a boon for children studying between class II and VI to grasp the basics of problem-solving capabilities the natural way,” she said after conducting a district-level competition for the enrolled students at the Bhashyam Public School here on Friday. “Our students crack arithmetic problems in no time now thanks to abacus,” school academic in-charge N.Susheela added with a sense of satisfaction.
