Abacus DIY Kit

Want to help your class or children with their basic maths skills?

A homemade abacus is a great way for visual learners to see their calculations.

There are so many ways for kids to play with an abacus:

• count the beads moving them to the right as they count them one by one.
• count by tens by moving an entire row across. This helps to visualize and then internalize the concept of place value.

As children skills progress they can use the DIY abacus for adding and subtracting and skip counting too.
