U C MAS (Universal Concept of Mental Arithmetic System) is a global organization founded in Malaysia in 1993 by Professor Dr. Dino Wong Hoon Wan. Dr. Wong revealed that a very small percentage of people use their right brain and those who use it, are bound to be very successful. Dr. Wong designed a program to develop the whole brain, especially the right hemisphere. Dr Wong opened its doors in 199
3 based on a simple premise: provide quality mental arithmetic training to children in the age group of 4 to 13 years and help them “discover the genius within”. Legions of customers registered for this program and over the years UCMAS developed as an international concept with over 5000 centres offering this wonderful program from 42 countries worldwide. UCMAS, which stands for Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic System, started operations in Trinidad in January 2010. ABOUT THE UCMAS CONCEPT
The U C MAS Genius Kids program is a brain development program that stimulates the brain by teaching children to perform mental calculations quickly and accurately without the use of any electronic tools. So, our students, typically aged 4 to 13, are guided to develop and use their mental faculties more fully. This program stimulates both the right and left sides of the brain. While the left side is used for logical calculation, the right side is working to visualize the calculation. Therefore, the brain is trained to become more flexible and effective. The UCMAS Mental Math education program builds the ability to solve mathematical problems in record time by visualizing the Abacus. The training will also lead to the development of the right brain as learners would be using their right brain to create an image memory while performing the calculations mentally. There is no limit to the potentialities of the human brain. Not only does the function of the human brain need cultivating from childhood but it also needs to be constantly used. U C MAS is a tool for whole brain development for all children.
