Abacus Math Magic

An abacus is a simple, yet powerful tool used for mathematical calculations. It consists of a wooden or plastic frame with a set of parallel rods or wires, called the abacus frame. Along these rods or wires, small beads or counters are strung, which can be moved and manipulated to perform mathematical operations. The abacus is divided into two sections, the upper section and the lower section, each with its own set of beads. The upper section is used for counting units and the lower section is used for counting tens. The abacus has been used for centuries in many cultures and is still used today in some parts of the world as a primary tool for arithmetic calculations. It is considered as a powerful tool in teaching kids the basic of mathematical concepts and it can also be used as a tool for mental calculations.
