Extra-curricular activities are an integral part of education and holistic development of a child. Children learn self-discipline, teamwork, leadership, and social skills with activities like music, singing, sports, debate, drama, dance and even social services, to name a few. Active participation in such activities trigger the successful process of a child’s holistic development. However, often children who lack confidence, analytical and problem-solving skills and even self-esteem either do not participate in extra-curricular activities or simply do not perform well.
UCMAS Abacus mental math program is known to develop a child’s brain capabilities, which helps them in excelling at academics. However, these enhanced cognitive skills also play a role beyond academics and help a child perform well in extra-curricular activities. Be it focus, problem-solving, logic, application, observation, judgment or reasoning, the benefits of UCMAS Abacus mental math training also act as a great advantage in activities out of a classroom.
- Sports:
Going for a 3-pointer or passing the ball to a forward in a basketball game is a split-second decision. Whether its basketball, soccer, skateboarding, or baseball, all these outdoor activities demand great focus and quick decision-making. UCMAS students, with their enhanced focus and analytical skills, are able to perform much better in sports than other children.
