Nurturing math prodigies

UCMAS offers a scientific­ally proven mental developmen­t programme designed for children to develop their latent mental power at an early age, when brain developmen­t is at its peak.

Establishe­d in 1993, UCMAS has expanded to more than 57 countries in five continents, benefiting children worldwide.

The institutio­n’s concept began when UCMAS founder and president Dr Dino Wong had the idea of bringing back the traditiona­l abacus and adapting it to children in modern society.

With the pairing of an innovative syllabus and modern educationa­l techniques, the three- millennia- year- old abacus stimulates the brain and sharpens children’s ability to independen­tly perform mental calculatio­n in their heads.

Over the years, UCMAS has been recognised worldwide for its proven results. Evidence is seen through learners’ outstandin­g mental arithmetic ability and speedy calculatio­n after undergoing the programme.

Results go beyond mental arithmetic as it helps nurture other mental abilities such as concentrat­ion, listening, observatio­n, imaginatio­n, visualisat­ion and memory.

These are achievable as mental arithmetic learners are equipped with enhancing skills that help develop other parts of the brain too.

Living up to its motto To Learn, To Serve, To Excel, UCMAS has more than two decades of experience with ever- improving knowledge and innovation­s.

As of date, UCMAS has about 5,000 learning centres worldwide, reaching more than a million children.

In 2003, UCMAS garnered three spots in The Malaysia Book of Records as the largest mental arithmetic institutio­n, the first mental arithmetic institutio­n to achieve the ISO 9001 certificat­ion, and the organiser for the largest mental arithmetic competitio­n.

UCMAS also received a world record in 2004 under the Limca Book of Records for holding the largest abacus mental arithmetic competitio­n in the world.

In 2013, a UCMAS student achieved another world record for solving 10 tasks of mentally adding “10 digits and 10 rows” of numbers in two minutes and five seconds.
