Chinese Abacus (S)
System #: AA-71-0003
Manufacture: China
Type: See description
Size:
List price: ~~$8.50~~
Our Price: $7.50

DESCRIPTION:

The abacus appeared circa 1200 A.D. in China; in Chinese, it is called suan-pan.

A abacus is typically made of good quality, well-seasoned wood and comes in varying sizes. The frame of the abacus has a series of vertical rods on which a number of wooden beads are allowed to slide freely. A horizontal beam separates the frame into two sections, known as the upper deck and the lower deck. On each rod, this classic Chinese abacus has 2 beads on the upper deck and 5 on the lower deck; such an abacus is also referred to as a 2/5 abacus.

The abacus can be used to ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, and DIVIDE as well as work with sophisticated mathematical problems such as fractions and square root.

One particular use for this lovely Chinese abacus item is teaching children simple mathematics and especially multiplication; the abacus is an excellent substitute for rote memorization of multiplication tables, a particularly detestable task for young children. The abacus is also an excellent tool for teaching other base numbering systems since it easily adapts itself to any base.

Wooden frame, runners, and counters, strengthened by brass corners and centre supports.

Size: 8.9" X 4.1" X 0.8"
