A traditional educational toy that has been used to teach counting and arithmetic long before calculators existed. This abacus has a sturdy wooden frame with ten rows of ten wooden beads. Each row is mounted on wooden rods securely fixed into the frame. The multicoloured beads slide smoothly and make a soft clicking sound when moved. It provides a simple, durable example of an early counting system and is an effective tool for introducing addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
This colourful abacus offers many ways to explore early mathematics. Children can count one by one, in twos, or use rows to count in tens. It can also be used for basic addition, subtraction, and division. Colour recognition is another learning opportunity: ask “Count me ten blue beads” or “How many green beads can you see?” A well-made educational toy that meets or exceeds all Australian safety standards.
Australia Wide Postage is $9.95 per Order.
