Product Description

Abacus Wood Math Toy

Abacus Wood Math Toy - What We Love:

The abacus is one of the early methods humans created to help keep track of numbers. Skilled abacus users can calculate as fast as we can use a calculator. While most kids today won't learn that level of skill with an abacus, it is still a great toy for teaching math skills. Many ways to use it and a great learning tool.

Abacus Wood Math Toy - Description:

This wooden "calculator" helps teach math skills, patterning and color recognition. Slide and count the beads with this timeless counting frame. Fun activity ideas included!

Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn:

Move any number of beads to one side of the frame. Ask the child to match your "move" on the wire below yours. This can also be done with a repetitive pattern--arrange the 10 beads in different groupings (e.g., 3 beads, 1 bead, 3 beads, 1 bead, 2 beads) that the child has to mimic on the wire below.
Move a certain number of beads to one side and ask the child to count how many beads you moved and how many remain on the other side. Or have the child count from one to one hundred as they move the beads on all ten wires.

Dimensions: 11.9" x 12" x 3" Assembled

Recommended Ages: 3+ years

Toddler Fun!

Posted by Christen H. on 14th Sep 2011

Our toddler loves sitting down with this toy! He could spend a good portion of the day off and on just moving the beads back and forth. I have also used it as a visual aide in math for my older children. A great product that I highly recommend!
