You can discover Abacus Counting Frame in action in video on Youtube :


The Abacus is a calculating tool, also called a counting frame, that was used in Europe, China, Japan and Russia, centuries before the adoption of the written Hindu-Arabic numeral system.

Abacus offers you to discover both categories of abacuses :
- those in base 10 well known in Europe an Russia in which each wire has 10 beads. Each bead represents, according the wire where it is, a unit, a hundred, a thousand, ...
- those in mixed base (5,2) or (4,1) for whose each wire has 2 parts : a left part where beads value 5 units (or 5 hundreds, 5 thousands, ... according their position on the wire) and a right part where beads value 1 unit (or 1 hundred, 1 thousand, ... according their position on the wire). These abacuses are mainly present in Asia (China, Japan, ...)
