chinglam,
just share some thoughts with you.
I taught big and small kids Math for over 10 years (part time / full time), I've came across with many different types of kids with different kinds of difficulties in Math. To me, Math is NOT only about numbers and arithmetic (+ - X / ), Math consists of numbers (meaning, sequence, quantity,..), arithmetic (the logics of carrying over and borrowing), mental calculations, application,........critical thinking including logic, patterns, spatial sense, shapes, forms, relationshipships, comparison........too too too many things.
To me, I'll teach my students and also my own daughter Math in a comprehensive curriculum,......mental calculation is only part of it, I don't think I need abacus to make my students knows how to do addition / subtraction,.... (but, of course, it might be an effective tool for other teachers),..I've other props to play with them and let them understand the principal.
Sorry, too much in above and hope above could help in answering your questions.
