Abacus Class
What is Abacus?
An abacus is a counting tool that has been used for centuries as a manual aid for calculations. It typically consists of a series of rods or wires, each containing movable beads. The beads represent different numerical values, and users manipulate them to perform arithmetic calculations. The abacus is versatile and can be used for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It provides a tangible and visual way to understand and perform mathematical operations, making it an effective educational tool, especially for developing strong mental math skills.
