Visualize abstract math concepts with the Color-Changing Abacus! Use this hands-on learning tool to teach a variety of concepts ranging from counting to subtraction. Children start by moving the beads on the abacus to develop one-to-one correspondence and progress to subtracting with place value. The unique color-changing beads on this abacus allow children to see and feel number patterns deepening their understanding of complex math concepts. The multicolored beads change to white as the children slide them across each rod helping them practice counting and patterning as well as basic addition and subtraction. When using the Color-Changing Abacus to practice counting patterns and simple addition and subtraction start with the top row of beads. When practicing place value and regrouping it is important to build numbers starting with the bottom row of beads. This allows children to read numbers from largest place value to smallest (from the top of the abacus to the bottom). The durable plastic frame of this Color-Changing Abacus is built for long-lasting use! It helps kids practice counting patterning addition and subtraction without worrying about the mess or risk of losing stray counters. For teachers these counting manipulatives work wonders in demonstrating number concepts for your students. The Color-Changing Abacus comes with a Getting Started Guide that includes 6 teacher-developed activities.
