Jarimatika is very easy to accept students, learning does not burden computer memory and tools can be used easily in fronst of students. Students aged 6 years to 12 years are only able to think logically or be able to solve problems that characterize them concretely or by talking about and doing things. Therefore, students will more easily think of something visual from verbal. Thus students will be able to optimize the abilities of each student.
