About Us
Maths Gym is a well-researched and well planned division of the SA Institute of Commerce & Technology (Pty) Ltd. We’ve partnered with our international counterparts in Canada, Malaysia and India, amongst other countries to bring these methods of Abacus and Vedic Maths to South Africa.
We believe we’ve been flogging the same school methods for far too long. There needs to be a different, more natural method of doing maths.
Did you know that South Africa ranks amongst the lowest performing countries in the world for maths and science?
According to the 2015 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), Botswana, Jordan, Morocco, South Africa and Saudi Arabia were the five lowest performing countries out of 59 countries.
The top five countries were Singapore, Korea, Taipei, Hong Kong and Japan. With Singapore being the best.
So what are the Asian Countries doing that we are not?
They teach their children to play with the beads on the abacus from a very young age.
As they get older, they learn certain easy techniques of Vedic Maths.
Maths is enjoyed like a sport with children participating in various local, regional and national events and competitions.
