The brain is made up of two hemispheres, the left and the right. The left brain is responsible for functions such as logic, analysis and computation. The right brain deals more with areas such as creativity, imagination and intuition.

The regular curriculum is not designed to enhance and stimulate the activity of both sides of the brain equally. In essence, our education system, and science in general, tends to neglect the right hemisphere. UCMAS aims to make up for this limitation by stimulating the right brain with the help of mental arithmetic.
 

Benefits of the Programme

• Photographic Memory
  The concept of thinking in pictures helps the student perform better not
  Just in mathematics but all subjects.
• Listening Skills
  Constant practice of performing sums dictated by the course instructor sharpens
  the listening skills in the students.
• Concentration
  Teaching methodology in UCMAS develops an exclusive attentiveness in
  the child& helps him/her to concentrate better.

  student & they are expected to work with an imaginary abacus. This helps to
  stimulate the right brain and develop these qualities.
• Speed & Accuracy
  Constant practice at home helps the child to become more precise and fast at
  problem solving.
• Self-reliance & self-confidence
  Students, at such a tender age, are free from calculators, computers and
  modern gadgets, thereby becoming more self-reliant. Also, due to their enhanced
  skills, their confidence is boosted.
