Learn how to do Abacus in live session

 A seemingly straightforward calculator called abacus is still in use all across the world is the abacus. Anyone interested in knowing the history of the contemporary calculator, including those who are blind, can benefit from using it as a learning tool. After mastering the fundamentals of abacus counting, you can swiftly do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

       Steps of using abacus

1.       Position your abacus correctly

      One or two beads should be placed in each row of the top row’s columns, while four beads should be placed in each row of the bottom row’s columns. All of the beads should be on the top row and bottom row as you begin. Each bead in the bottom row represents the value of the number 5, while the beads in the top row each represent the value of the number 1.

2.     Assign each column a place value

 Each bead column serves as a “place” value from which you can construct a number. Therefore, the “ones” column (1-9) would be the farthest column on the right, followed by the “tens” column (10-99), and the “hundreds” column (100+). (100-999),If necessary, you can optionally designate specific columns as decimal places.

For instance, if you were to depict a number like 10.5, the third column would be the tens place, the second column the ones place, and the farthest right column the tenths place.

Similarly, to depict a number like 10.25, the hundredths place would be in the farthest right column, followed by the tenths place in the second column, the ones place in the third, and the tens place in the fourth.

 

3.       Start counting from the bottom row of beads.

To count numbers, push the beads into the “up” position. “1” is represented by him sliding one bead to the “up” position from the bottom row of the far right column, “2” is represented by him sliding two increase.

It is easiest to move the bottom row of beads with your thumb and the top row of beads.

 

4.       There are only 4 beads in the bottom row, so to go from “4” to “5”, push the top row of beads to the “down” position and push the bottom row of 4 beads Press all the beads down. The abacus in this position is correctly read as “five”. To count “6”, place the beads from the bottom row so that the top row of beads is on the bottom (representing a value of 5) and the bottom

5.       Repeat it for higher numbers.
