According to Mr. Hiratsuka, the headmaster of the kindergarten, "Many parents posted to Jakarta were eager to open an abacus class before the Corona disaster. However, it was difficult to train teachers to operate an abacus class, and we were about to give up when we came across Sorotouch." He said, "I was just about to give up.

What is the Sorotouch Classroom System?
The system collectively manages the information of individual Sorotouch learners and provides weekly lessons. With this system, students learn not only mental arithmetic skills but also communication and cooperation skills through fun team competition and cooperation. The system also utilizes the cloud for adaptive learning, allowing students of different levels and ages to learn in the same group and to compete and cooperate with each other. Facilitators lead the way in creating an environment that encourages children to continue using the system. Children learn at home through Sorotouch (input) and show the results of their learning in the classroom (output).
What is "Abacus Fest"?
We are hosting "Sorofes," an online mental arithmetic competition open to all Sorotouch students around the world.
In the team competition, each classroom will form a team and compete in a tournament by level.

What is Sorotouch?
Sorotouch" is a new method of learning abacus-type mental arithmetic using a tablet. 5 to 8 years old children can acquire an advanced level of abacus-type mental arithmetic, which will be a lifelong asset, in two years if they progress through "Sorotouch" every day. By learning the four arithmetic rules in a well-balanced manner by "seeing and solving" and "hearing and solving," children will improve their ability to read and understand numbers and acquire practical mental arithmetic skills that are useful not only in arithmetic but also in everyday life. In addition, through the experience of growing in ability from an early age, students will develop self-confidence, and in turn, a "Growth Mindset" (the idea that one can grow through experience and effort), which will lay the foundation for all learning!
