Soroban Club

The SOROBAN, known as the Japanese abacus in English, is considered to be the first calculator in Japan and has played a significant role in the cultural and educational development of the country. Japanese 4th grade math standard has been introducing Soroban at school and now many Japanese students go to Soroban club to learn the skills after school.  In this club, students will learn the basic skills of how to use it and move into the calculation of addition and subtraction through oral practice, written practice and flash math.  The students will participate in the Okinawa District Soroban Contest in April 2019 as the representatives of KSES.
