About This Product
Being small, the abacus can sit on a learner's desk for individual practice as well as at the front of the class for demonstrations. Students move one bead at a time as they count aloud, show a number and read it back, then add beads for 'counting more' or move them back for 'taking away'. It helps learners who need concrete examples before abstract number work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can the mini abacus be used for place value? Yes. Grouped beads can be used to explain ones and tens where the model design permits.
