iSmart Program Definition
The iSmart Program was first created as an educational program for the development of children’s brain skills from the age of 4 to 16. The program works on the right and left hemispheres, ensuring optimal growth and development, allowing the child to use both sides of the brain simultaneously.
The program is divided into two different features. Each feature is designed to increase focus, memory, visualization, analytical thinking and to develop exceptional mental math skills.
The concept of the first feature mental math, is for the child to be able to determine correct answers to math equations without the use of anything besides their brain. These mental calculations are performed in the mind on a virtual image of the abacus pictured in the child’s mind. With the development of building the mental muscle to quickly calculate challenging calculations, other aspects of the brain are being developed as well. The result includes the development of different mental abilities important to the overall enhancement of a child’s brain.
The second feature, spatial intelligence targets the child’s visualization and imagination through different interactive activities. The power of virtual memory is given through activities and exercises that urges the child to visualize geometric shapes that helps in understanding many geometric concepts. Spatial intelligence helps in improving the child’s observation, concentration skills, memory, imagination, visualizations and mathematics proficiency.
Education Benefits
