05:04Quick maths! Moroccan teacher trains children for 'lightning' speed mental calculations
Marrakesh-based teacher Ali Oshari showed off his method to teach children to quickly make highly complicated calculations, which he dubs the 'lighting' method, in his classroom at Excel School on Thursday.
The training method devised by Oshari relies on Soroban, an abacus developed in Japan that spread globally at the beginning of 1938.
"I began to create my own training method which consists of multiple phases that would effortlessly move the trainee kid from one stage to another until he becomes a champion," said Oshari.
"The Arab ‘Lightning’ programme is not 100 percent new, rather it is a newly-introduced training and based on the internationally-recognised, Japanese-invented Soroban," the teacher clarified.
Oshari has founded a Moroccan team that he supervises to take part in international competitions for mental calculation.
