What is it?
Flash Anzan is a Japanese mental math drill: numbers flash quickly one after another, and the child adds them mentally, then types the total. Each training has 5 rounds, and progress climbs the eagle ranks.
How it works
- Start at Beginner or choose digits, count and speed yourself.
- Watch the screen and add each number in your head.
- Type the total on the number pad.
- If needed, use the hint button to watch the numbers again.
Benefits for kids
- It trains focus, because each number appears only once.
- It builds short-term memory and adding speed.
- One short session a day is enough, and the ranks keep children motivated.
