Celebrate Your Thanksgiving with UCMAS and Harvest the Joy of Education!

1. Celebrate Your Thanksgiving with UCMAS and Harvest the Joy of Education!

2. About UCMAS • UCMAS (Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic System) – an ISO 9001: 2008 certified course, is a unique child development program that was founded in Malaysia by Dr Dino Wong. • The first UCMAScentre opened its doors in 1993 in Malaysia based on the simple premise: Provide quality ‘Abacus and Mental Math Training’ to children in the age group of 5-13 years and help them ‘Discover the Genius Within’. • UCMAS is a globally recognized and scientifically proven, child development program based on Mental Math and Abacus for children aged 5-13 years.

3. About UCMAS • Legions of students registered for this program and over the years UCMAS developed as an international concept offering this wonderful program, worldwide. • UCMAS is a unique and scientifically-proven abacus math learning program designed for children to develop their latent mental power at a very early age when brain development is reaching its peak.

4. An ancient tool that has retained its value for several centuries despite the advance of technology must be pretty good right?  • The abacus has been used for centuries to teach the fundamentals of numbers and is now being used all over the globe to train young minds in mathematics and rapid mental math. 

5. The main advantage of learning the abacus early on is that it can significantly enhance brain power by improving the brain skills of children early on. When children learn to use an abacus, they use both their hands and a tool with beads to calculate numbers. It is widely believed that the movement of beads using their fingers activates their brain sensors. Enrolling your children in an abacus learning center early on can transform them into human calculators, mathematicians, and even magna cum laude graduates later on!

7. We at UCMAS believe in taking Thanksgiving to a whole new level. It’s more than just turkey and cranberry sauce; it’s about infusing the enchanting world of UCMAS abacus math into the fabric of your celebrations.  • In this blog, we unveil a cornucopia of educational and delightful activities designed to do more than just sharpen your child’s mathematical prowess. We aim to immerse them in the joy of celebration, transforming the holiday into an opportunity for learning and growth. From Abacus Turkey Feathers to the Turkey Trot Measurement challenge, each activity brings a unique blend of fun, gratitude, and mathematical exploration to your Thanksgiving festivities. It’s time to celebrate your Thanksgiving with UCMAS, where education becomes an integral part of the holiday season.

8. 1. Abacus Turkey Feathers: Let’s kick off the festivities with the vibrant Abacus Turkey Feathers activity. Envision a turkey cutout adorned with mathematical challenges on each feather. As your children conquer these problems using abacus maths, watch the colorful plumage of their turkey grow, turning learning into a festive spectacle 2. Thanksgiving Counting Cornucopia: • Transform the humble abacus into a magical Cornucopia counter! Using this ancient counting tool, children engage in the delightful task of counting Thanksgiving-themed items like pumpkins, apples, or corn. It’s a joyful way for kids to practice abacus education while immersing themselves in the Thanksgiving spirit.

9. 3. Abacus Gratitude Chain: • Build a chain of gratitude that intertwines learning and thankfulness. Each link represents something a child is thankful for, and as they add links, they perform abacus calculations to determine the chain’s total length. It’s a beautiful union of gratitude and mathematical exploration. 4. Thanksgiving Math Bingo: • Bingo takes a Thanksgiving twist as math problems replace traditional numbers. Engage in this thrilling bingo game, where children mark their cards with answers derived from abacus education. It’s a fun-filled way to turn Thanksgiving into a learning extravaganza.

10. 5. Abacus Maze Challenge: • Navigate through a maze of mathematical wonders! This challenge combines problem-solving and maze navigation, with children using abacus maths at each turn. Successfully reaching the Thanksgiving feast becomes a rewarding journey through numbers. 6. UCMAS Corn on the Cob: • Corn on the cob becomes a visual aid for mathematical exploration. Children solve problems related to the number of corn kernels, enhancing their UCMAS skills while enjoying a-maize-ing learning.

11. 7. Abacus Pie Slices: • Visualize a pie chart divided into educational slices. Each slice holds a mathematical challenge, and as children solve them using abacus techniques, they get to ‘cut’ a slice of both knowledge and a delicious pie, creating a delightful and educational Thanksgiving treat. 8. Turkey Trot Measurement: • Incorporate measurement into the festivities with the Turkey Trot challenge. Using abacus math, children calculate the distances their paper or plush turkeys can ‘trot’ across the table. It’s an active, playful, and educational addition to your Thanksgiving celebration.
