UCMAS Egypt

UC MAS (Universal concept of Mental Arithmetic System) is a unique scientifically-proven mental development program designed for children and young people to develop their latent mental power at an age when brain development is reaching its peak – children between the ages of 4 and 12. The program was invented to capitalize on the first 12 years of children’s lives, when 75% of brain development takes place. Learning mental arithmetic in U C MAS is more than improving the speed and accuracy of calculations. For example, adding 10-digit numbers within a few seconds is already an amazing accomplishment for most young children. However, there is more to this because when the children are learning U C MAS Mental Arithmetic, they are actually also undergoing the process developing other aspects of the mind.

Our vision to Be Pioneers in Contributing to Building the Future of Egypt by Developing the Mental Abilities of the Egyptian Child. Our mission to provide abacus mental arithmetic courses that would help students to improve their mental abilities. Benefits that go beyond Math:

• Kids are trained to be involved in different processes happening at the same time. They gradually learn how to be focused on the task in hand and ignore different kinds of distraction.
• Through the training on the Flash Cards (one of the mental training tools and during solving mental training tools) and during solving mental math problems, kids take only a glance at the card or problem to start the numbers processing. With time, this significantly enhances their observation abilities. The same goes for listening since kids are trained to hear numbers only once during problem solving, because numbers are not repeated. With the continuous use of active listening, kids will develop significantly improved listening skills.
• Kids are challenged to start forming a virtual abacus early in the training and soon will start using this imaginary or virtual abacus in solving problems. This continuous use of imagination and visualization techniques significantly improves the kid’s skill in these two mental parameters.
• Kids memorize different images during their numbers’ training and during solving problems; they tend to memorize momentarily each image constructed on the virtual abacus after doing any arithmetic and before giving the final answer. This continuous use and training of memory significantly improve this ability especially what is known as the photographic memory.
• In U C MAS one of the real challenges is time. Kids are gradually trained to give extremely accurate result in shorter and shorter times. This continuous challenge will teach kids how to optimize the use of time while staying accurate.
• Having developed imagination and visualization as well as memory, concentration and the other mental parameters and through the whole process of the right brain training and activation, kids will find it easier to be creative and inspired.
• As a result of the continuous positive feedback received from parents, teachers, peers, and the community as well as the exposure during the program to different audiences in demonstrations, national and international competitions, along with the improved mental abilities – kids will be given an extremely powerful boost to their self –image and confidence that will further help them in their future challenges.
• Having developed all the above-mentioned parameters, it is normal for kids at U C MAS to have a very strong foundation for academic achievement and excellence.
