How to use Chisanbop Korean Finger Math for Basic Addition & Counting

Chi= Finger in Korean sanpp (sanbeop) = Calculation

 Created

in 1940s by Sung Jin Pai in Korea but probably has ancient roots. Revised and Brought to the US around 1977 by his son Hang Young Pai. With this method it is possible to display all numbers from 0 to 99 with both hands.

 While

it seems strange at first, and takes some getting used to, the technique is easy, accurate, and can be faster than using a calculator.

 Kids

Can pick up Finger Counting And Basic Skills of Addition and Subtraction. Children love something which is very tactile, something which can be seen hence gets popular with the kids.

 Can

perform Calculations only involving units and tens places. Limited Applications in Multiplication & Division You could think of a typical Japanese Sorobanor Abacus as a means of doing Chisanbop with 13 hands instead of 2, allowing calculations in to the trillions!

References dates back to 2nd Century BC. Chinese Abacus known as SuanPan which means Counting Tray. Very efficient abacus techniques have been developed to do multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, square root and cube root operations at high speed. Russians invented their own Abacus and called it the Schoty during the 17th Century. Use of the Abacus spread to Korea, and then to Japan during the latter part of the 15th century

Works from Left to Right. It allows us to solve mathematical problems with great agility and speed, in part, because numbers are added and subtracted in exactly the same way we read and hear them.

Very efficient abacus techniques are there to do multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, square root and cube root operations at high speed. Calculations involving decimals can be achieved on an Abacus. Develops mental calculation, which is the ultimate resource Manifests the concept of decimal places and the progression of units by tens physically. Helps develop an intuitive understanding of numbers through their concrete representation.

 Calculation

sometimes tends to get complex resulting in high dropout rates by children in higher levels of the Abacus Training Module. Concepts of Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus is not possible to do with the help of an Abacus

 The

Kumon System immensely popular in South East Asia and the US Based on individual learning and advancement by going through repeated practice sheets.

Founded by Dr Hideo Sakamoto in Osaka, Japan in 1975. Only System to teach Arithmetic & Problem Solving Only by drawing and other unique mental methods. Simple yet systematic and structured technique to analyze questions in alogical way and solve the questions without any difficulty. Approved by Ministry of Education, Singapore in 1997, Sakamoto Maths classes have been conducted in some Asian countries like, Singapore, Thailand, in some Indonesia, Korea, Philippines and Malaysia.

trachtenbergs Speed System of Basic Mathematics

Founded by a Russian Engineer named Jakow Trachtenberg born in June 1888. He spoke out against Hitlers fascism in Germany and was thrown into prison and later shipped to a concentration camp. Around him was death and destruction but he kept his mindactive by following the path of numbers without having pens or papers. He invented a fool proof method to make it easier for a child to add thousands of numbers. Devised shortcuts from Multiplication to Sq.Roots in 1940s. In 1950s after his escape founded Mathematical Institute in Zurich

Based on procedures radically different from conventional methods. NoTables. No Division. To know the system you should be only able to count. System based on a series of keys which needs to be memorised. After which the system becomes easy and friendly!

Educators have found out that this system shortens the time for computations by 20%. Has a Unique theory of checking by 9s and Has a 11s gives an assurance of 99% Accuracy. The ability to do basic arithmetic with the spectacular ease is what this system imparts and it erases the fear and timidity which hinder the students.

Covers up to Basic Square Roots and not beyond. Does not touch upon Factorization and other Algebraic Concepts which scare students. Division and Square Roots not accurate results in decimals. Does not cover Calculus, Trigonometry, etc

Vedic Mathematics

Indian High Speed Mental Math System

Vedic Maths founded by Swami Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja (1884-1960) Shankaracharya of Govardhan Matha, Puri

Super Fast way of Mental Calculation Far more systematic, simplified and unified than the conventional system. Eradicates Math Phobia and creates an interest towards the subject. Builds and strengthens Mental Math Concepts System Based on 16 Sutras which are word formulae such as Vertically & Crosswise, All from 9 & Last from 10. etc.

VedicMathis10-15 times faster than Normal Math Sharpens ones mind, increases mental agility & intelligence. Develops left & right side of the Brain Easy to understand, Apply & Master. Scientific Approach to Mathematics Vedic Maths has a fool proof checking tool Multiple Applications in Research in Fields of Information Technology.

Has Algebraically Proven Methods to speed up Basic Arithmetic, Algebra, Calculus and Trigonometry. Also solves Astronomical Calculations easily like the Keplers Equation. Has applications in Research and Development in fields of Information Technology to build Chips. Basically Vedic Maths speeds up Calculations from Primary to High School Level. Applications in Entrance Examinations like CAT, GMAT etc used extensively to cut on time. Gaining Popularity so much so that the Americans Copyrighted the Vertically & Crosswise System in August 2009 and we are fighting a legal case to protect it.

Vedic Math Algorithms solve technology related issues relating to Chip Designing, RSA Encryption System, Elliptic Encryption System.

Papers have been presented on this by Research Scholars such as Himanshu Thapliyal at conferences organized by NASA, Intel, IEEE, SPIE etc

LIMITATIONS
Many Mathematical Topics in Higher Math like Probability, Statistics, Game Theory, Geometry etc not covered. Its a supplement to the curriculum not a curriculum in its self. Children would at least have to know counting and basic operations in Maths before learning Vedic Maths. Invisible working: No Steps Involved since it is Mental which means Teachers cant give marks on Step Working.
