The room buzzed with excitement as children from Joseph’s Abacus program prepared to compete in the annual mental arithmetic challenge. Parents watched eagerly, knowing their children had been practicing for weeks.
In less than 60 seconds, students solved calculations that would leave most adults scrambling for a calculator — all in their heads! From simple additions to multi-digit multiplication, their speed and accuracy impressed the judges and the audience alike.
This event was more than just a competition; it was a celebration of confidence, focus, and skill development. Many students joined Joseph’s Abacus with low confidence in math, but after months of training, they now approach numbers with enthusiasm and precision.
One proud parent said, “My daughter used to fear math, but now she can solve problems faster than I can!”
At Joseph’s Foundation, we believe in creating environments where learning is engaging and empowering. The Abacus competition is just one of many ways we showcase our students’ growth and inspire them to aim higher.
