Amidst COVID-19, a lot of opportunities for virtual education opened up. We have been delivering our children mathematic-based training program online over the past two years.

Goal of the project:

To develop an online accessible digital platform that supports linking musical tones while using a physical Abacus.

The tool will stimulate an increase in the ease and speed with which young children mentally solve the simple mathematical operations of addition and subtraction.

Project Objectives:

· To support the use of musical sound in conjunction with visual Japanese abacus (Soroban).

· By the end of this project , we expect to launch an accessible, online learning system using a digital abacus and sound available on most computers or mobile devices.

Scope: Stages of student involvement in the project

Guided by project manager, the students will experience the following stages:

Introduction:

· brief on the project, its purpose, and requirements

· frequent and regular communication with the project manager

Development:

· preparation of the digital platform development processes

· development of a database to record participant experiences

The project will develop two types of modules:

1. Abacus Beads Recognition Exercises (mapping of sounds with numbers represented on a digital abacus).

2. Listening exercise for students to add and subtract numbers using musical sounds and a digital abacus.

With 30 years of entrepreneurial experience, and mentoring college and university students in various capacity, I freely share my work and life experience to those who seek to grow and learn. I am good at communicating through the use of technologies which I think is important for the project to succeed.

We like to share our communication methods with the students at the start of the project. A Non-disclosure agreement should be signed from both parties prior to the start of the project.
