Mental arithmetic is a technical skill in mathematics acquired intensively through finely structured syllabus prepared by ALOHA curriculum Development Department. The technical skill help children to strengthens and improve their mathematical competence in calculating with speed, and of course accuracy.
At the beginning, the children will be trained to do calculation 1 to 99 + and - operation using their ten fingers, and then with abacus for bigger number. Later, they will be trained to do complicated calculations without using fingers or abacus where they start to fully utilize their mental power to do calculation. This will need a solid concentration with high imagination.

This special ability relies entirely on one's mental processing skills. During the exercises, both portions of brain are stimulated, making the whole thinking process mode efficient and effective.

Yes, it enables a child to grasp and master the basic arithmetic operations faster and better. Is also stimulates the learning process of arithmetic and other related subjects.

Training is conducted in eight stages:

  • The fingering method of addition and subtraction
  • The abacus method of addition and subtraction
  • The mental arithmetic of addition, subtraction and multiplication
  • The division method of calculation
  • The visualisation of the four basic function of arithmetic (the last contain four levels)
The duration of each stage is three months. Classes are held once a week for two hours. At the end of each stage, an examination will be conducted. Our teaching methodology is proactive and the learning environment is created in a fun and enjoyable way, whereby the interest if the learner is 'tapped'


We have introduced the concepts of ALOHA MENTAL ARITHMETIC in Malaysia, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Australia, Oman, India and now in New Zealand. Some western countries have shown immense interest in ALOHA MENTAL ARITHMETIC and we will be making in-roads into other countries in due course.

Besides improving a child's calculating ability and his understanding of arithmetic, ALOHA MENTAL ARITHMETIC will increase the memory power and the concentration of the child. In addition, it encourages the child to give full attention to study, trains him/her listen more attentively and effectively. Ultimately, ALOHA MENTAL ARITHMETIC will make the learner more confident and interested is his/her school work, both curricular and extra-curricular. His/Her ability to analyze problem and creativity will also improve considerably.



Arithmetic can be approached in many different ways. The main aim of arithmetic is accuracy and fast calculation. ALOHA MENTAL ARITHMETIC is the most efficient approach to effective calculation. Thus it complements and supplements the arithmetic approaches adopted in schools.

Evidence has shown that those who have undergone ALOHA MENTAL ARITHMETIC training would have:

  • Greater concentration
  • Keener listening skill
  • Better Reflexes
  • Better application skills
  • Improved analytical skills
  • Better creative and imaginative skills
  • Improved reading, writing and learning skills
  • Better memory
  • Sharper observation
  • More self-confidence
  • Improved endurance
  • Better ways of expression
  • Better comprehension and calculation skills



The effectiveness of ALOHA Mental Arithmetic, produces a child who is efficient in calculation and these advantages will also be influenced and transferred to the other subjects. The child will also learn to endure and be able to face pressure in his studies with ease.
