Abacus - Making Counting & Calculating Easy

The abacus, also known as a counting frame, is one of the oldest calculation aids and a proven teaching tool in elementary school math classes. It is also often referred to as a counting board or counting slide. With the help of our teaching materials for mathematics in elementary school, students are actively supported in building mathematical structures. The abacus in elementary school helps simplify various quantities and operations like addition, subtraction, halving, and doubling of units and tens for children visually. With the abacus, students have the quantities in view and can better imagine abstract amounts. Additionally, the independent sliding action helps children learn faster and retain the learned concepts in their minds long-term. Make elementary school tangible with TimeTEX teaching materials!

How an Abacus Works

At TimeTEX, we have various abacuses for elementary school in our range. You will find the classic wooden frame with metal rods on which red and blue beads can be easily moved left and right. Setting and showing numbers is quick and skillful with a few finger strokes. The colors of the wooden beads represent units and tens and are also available in the red/white color combination. Alternatively, we offer innovative plastic abacuses with rotating beads. Depending on your needs, you can choose between an abacus up to 20 or one for the number range up to 100. While the large abacus is especially helpful for complex calculations, the small abacus is particularly suitable for tasks with small numbers and simpler calculations.

If you are looking for a counting slide for smaller number ranges, we also offer counting strips or counting chains. In our diverse range, we also have Montessori materials like the Montessori abacus. It allows beginners to calculate with numbers in the thousands in Montessori colors.

How to Calculate with an Abacus in Elementary School

  • Each student has their own abacus of the same type.
  • Initially, the beads of the counting board are on the left side.
  • During calculation or setting of numbers, the beads are moved from left to right and read in reading direction.
  • Numbers up to 10 are moved with one finger stroke (numbers up to 20 with two finger strokes).
  • The beads in the bottom row have the value "1", the second row from the bottom "10", the third row from the bottom "100", etc. In an abacus up to 100, the beads in the top row have the value "1,000,000,000".

Sustainability: Abacus Made from Recycled Wood

Sustainability is important to TimeTEX, including our abacuses. Our wooden counting boards are made from sustainable recycled wood, meaning no additional trees need to be felled for their production. We place great value on a responsible and resource-efficient manufacturing process.

Thanks to a special casting process, our recycled wood abacuses are particularly stable and durable. The high-quality recycled wood ensures the high quality and durability of the counting boards, making them suitable for daily use in elementary school and long-term use. By using recycled wood, we help reduce the ecological footprint and support the idea of a sustainable future.

With our recycled wood abacuses, you not only receive a high-quality teaching tool but also contribute to environmental protection and sustainability. You can be assured that you are teaching your students math concepts responsibly while also caring for the environment.
