Benefits that Last a Lifetime
Did you know that art develops a child’s creative
thinking and problem-solving abilities?
Children love making things and this artistic outlet
will foster more than just the creative aspects of development in children…
it
strengthens right-brain development, open-ended thinking, problem-solving,
self-expression which leads to increasing your child’s self-esteem.
Artistic activity is a form of reasoning, communication
and organization, drawing on abstract thinking and perception. As our
DinoArt artists create through drawing, painting and composing images, they
stimulate and develop key cognitive functions essential in child development.
DinoArt offers significant benefits in child
development including:
- Develop
creativity, conceptual thinking and spatial awareness
- Improve
focus and concentration
- Improve
problem solving
- Academic
benefits include attention to detail, multi-tasking
- Strengthen
dexterity and fine-motor skills
- Improve
social skills
Creativity through art stimulates mental
acuity
Do you still remember how great it felt when as a
youngster you drew or painted a picture of your house in the spring or a
favourite pet? Why did that feel good? Because you were tapping into your
creative self, where creative skills flowed through your mind, developing
visual manifestations of abstract ideas. Creativity is an essential part of
intelligence.
Children love making things and this artistic outlet
will foster more than just the creative aspects of development in children – it
strengthens right-brain development, open-ended thinking, self-expression and
it will strengthen your child’s self-esteem.
Our brain is divided into two hemispheres. The left
one is responsible for reading, writing, arithmetic and science, rational and
analytical thought. And the right hemisphere controls imagination, visual
and spatial perception. It is dominant in art, music and physical movement.
Children learn best when both sides of their brains
are stimulated. Art enrichment through DinoArt provides that type of
stimulations that boosts brain-power.
Creativity in art is an important skill that is
invaluable at school, work, and everyday life.

Benefits and Results
Benefits that go beyond Math!
Our whole-brain development program builds
foundational techniques that make learning math effortless and enjoyable. By
mastering these techniques using the Abacus, students develop the ability to
think in pictures and quickly learn to perform large calculations mentally.
Over time, our students come to love a subject they may have once struggled
with, or even feared. Attaining astonishing calculation speed is actually the
end-result of increasing the “brain-fitness”.
Mental math is a building block for future success
in all areas of study. Students learn to focus for sustained periods, to manage
their time while completing long series of sums, to think in pictures, as well
as, logically and to concentrate on more than one task at the same time while
performing at a high standard.
These are crucial life skills that students will
use again and again. The program activates key cognitive functions such as
memory, attention, perception, symbolic learning and reasoning. UCMAS students
become motivated learners – the best route
to success in academics and beyond.
UCMAS demands self-discipline and promotes the joy
of lifelong learning and self-discovery. To succeed takes practice and
commitment from the student, plus active support from the family. But the
payoff is worth it.
At UCMAS, students:
Multitask
Solve problems
Identify key information
Time-Management
Concentrate on complex instructions
Imagine the Abacus in their visual memory
Perform complex mathematical calculations
Think in pictures to boost memory and recall

Training Methods
The UCMAS Difference: We Don’t Tutor, We
Inspire with our Innovative Approach
UCMAS is not a tutoring centre. Our whole-brain
development program builds foundational capabilities through a series of
in-class training activities conducted by our trained class instructors. Our
rigorous training techniques are based on pedagogical design by child
development experts to ensure our students can benefit from and be successful
in our program.
The UCMAS program improves math skills and promotes
whole brain thinking through:
Thinking in Pictures – Students
boost memory power through visualization by holding
numbers in their mind while handling the physical or mental Abacus.
A Flash of Brilliance – Students
create a mental image of the beads on their mental Abacus
with the help of flash cards. Each student who completes the UCMAS program will
have
memorized 450,000 images.
The Need for Speed
Speed
training encourages children to listen attentively and respond to
questions quickly, sharpening their focus and concentration.
Building Mathematical Concepts
Manipulating the physical or virtual beads of the Abacus provides students with
another frame of
reference to learn mathematical concepts, such as:
- The
base-ten number system
- Number
concepts and numeric relationships
- Place
values
- Carrying
and borrowing
- Combinations
and complements of numbers
These are mathematical building blocks that
complement the curriculum used in Canada’s public and private schools. Our
program supports and augments what students learn in school.
From a purely mathematical perspective, Abacus-based
mental math makes any arithmetic a snap. Understanding math through the Abacus
inspires new perspectives: children learn to subtract by adding; to multiply
without multiplying; and to perform long division problems in their head faster
than most people can add two numbers together.
They can express large numbers
simply, follow long streams of sums with ease and successfully incorporate
compound numbers through the use of supplementary numbers for 5 and 10.
Our students learn techniques in Mental Math that
will stay with them long after they’ve completed the program.

Left Brain Vs Right Brain
Here’s a quick overview of how the brain processes
information.
Basic Characteristics of Left and Right
brain:
In general, the left and right hemispheres of our
brain process information in different ways. While we have a natural tendency
towards one way of thinking, the two sides of our brain work together in our
everyday lives. The right brain of the brain focuses on the visual, and
processes information in an intuitive and simultaneous way, looking first at
the whole picture then the details. The focus of the left brain is verbal,
processing information in an analytical and sequential way, looking first at
the pieces then putting them together to get the whole.
Left brain thinking is verbal and analytical. Right
brain is non-verbal and intuitive, using pictures rather than words. The best
illustration of this is to listen to people give directions. The left brain
person will say something like “From here, go west three blocks and turn north
on Vine Street. Go three or four miles and then turn east onto Broad Street.”
The right brain person will sound something like this: “Turn right (pointing
right), by the church over there (pointing again). Then you will pass a
McDonalds and a Walmart. At the next light, turn right toward the Esso
station.”
Though right-brain or non-verbal thinking is often
regarded as more ‘creative’, there is no right or wrong here; it is merely two
different ways of thinking. One is not better than the other, just as being
right-handed is not ‘superior’ to being left-handed. What is important is to be
aware that there are different ways of thinking, and by knowing what your
natural preference is, you can pay attention to your less dominant side to
improve the same.
By learning abacus through the systematic training
approach at UCMAS, children can fully realize their potential by activating
both sides of their brain. By consciously using the right side of our brain, we
can be more creative. More so , because left brain strategies are the ones used
most often in the classroom, right brain students sometimes feel neglected.
By activating the power of both hemispheres, a child
will be able to retain knowledge better and become proficient in any subject,
especially math.
Join now , it’s never too late to start!
Workings of Our Brain
The human brain is made up of two halves. These
halves are commonly called the right brain and left brain , but should more
correctly be termed ‘hemispheres’. For some reason, our right and left
hemispheres control the ‘opposite’ side of our bodies, so the right hemisphere
controls our left side and processes what we see in our left eye while the left
hemisphere controls the right side and processes what our right eye sees.
The concept of right brain and left brain thinking
developed from the research in the late 1960s of an American psycho biologist
Roger W Sperry. He discovered that the human brain has two very different ways
of thinking. One (the right brain) is visual and processes information in an
intuitive and simultaneous way, looking first at the whole picture then the
details. The other (the left brain) is verbal and processes information in an
analytical and sequential way, looking first at the pieces then putting them
together to get the whole. Sperry was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1981.
