UCMAS is the world's leading Abacus & Mental math program that boosts brain power in children aged 5

09/17/2025

Turning “math-magical” learning into a Canadian franchise success
In 2004, Megha Karia arrived in Canada with a dream and a deep passion for education. What started with one UCMAS classroom in Toronto has now grown into nearly 100 centres across the country, transforming the lives of thousands of children through abacus-based brain development and mental math training.
For 20 years, Megha has been a true trailblazer—creating opportunities for students, newcomers, women, and entrepreneurs while proving the power of consistent vision and dedication. Her recognition as one of the best in education and UCMAS’s 15 consecutive years as a Franchisees’ Choice Award winner show just how impactful this journey has been.

At UCMAS Westbrook, Calgary, we share the same mission and values that Megha has championed: empowering children to unlock focus, confidence, and lifelong learning skills, while also being part of a network that opens doors for newcomers and women entrepreneurs across Canada.

Today, we celebrate Megha’s achievements, honour her vision, and feel proud to continue carrying the same torch of educational excellence and community impact here in Calgary.

Here’s to more “math-magical” milestones—for our students, our franchisees, and the future of UCMAS in Canada.

What is Abacus Intelligence, Scientifically Speaking?

Abacus Intelligence is the measurable development of core cognitive abilities through abacus-based mental arithmetic training. It’s not just about speed math or number games. It’s a brain development system rooted in decades of scientific research, and it activates both the left and right hemispheres of the brain simultaneously.

Here’s a quick explainer by Megha Karia on how abacus training goes beyond math to activate both sides of the brain and sharpen memory, focus, and problem-solving.

“In a landmark study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, it was found that kids who practiced abacus math for a few months showed significant improvements in their memory and visual thinking skills. Their brain scans also revealed that the parts of the brain used for focus, memory, and picture-based thinking were much more active than in kids who didn’t learn the abacus.”

In fact, a landmark study in The Journal of Neuroscience showed that kids practicing abacus math developed stronger memory, sharper focus, and better visual thinking skills than their peers.

Why Mental Math Is the School-Readiness Game-Changer for Kids Aged 5–7: The UCMAS Westbrook Advantage

The early years of school can be both exciting and overwhelming. For children stepping into the world of structured learning, confidence is often just as important as knowledge. And while many parents focus on reading and writing, research is increasingly clear—numerical fluency and mental math are equally critical in preparing children for success.

At UCMAS Westbrook, we see every day how early exposure to abacus-based mental math transforms young learners. It isn’t about memorizing sums or racing through worksheets—it’s about training the brain to think faster, focus deeper, and approach problems with confidence. When a 5-year-old can visualize numbers, recall them effortlessly, and solve challenges in seconds, something shifts: they begin to believe in their own ability to learn. That belief carries them into every subject, from reading to science, and even into their social interactions.

Science backs this up. Abacus training is proven to activate both sides of the brain, improving memory, concentration, and even creativity. Children become more attentive, resilient, and eager to participate in class. For many parents, the most rewarding part isn’t just higher math scores—it’s watching their child raise a hand in class with confidence or tackle homework without fear.

The age of 5–7 is a golden window of neuroplasticity, when the brain is primed for growth. That’s why introducing mental math at this stage isn’t just beneficial—it’s transformative. It gives children the tools they need to be school-ready and life-ready.

At UCMAS Westbrook, we’re not just teaching math. We’re building thinkers, dreamers, and confident learners who see challenges as opportunities. Because when a child discovers the power of their own mind, there are no limits to what they can achieve.

If you’re a parent looking to give your child that edge, this is the time. Join us at UCMAS Westbrook, explore our programs, and watch your child’s journey of confidence, focus, and lifelong learning unfold.
