Imagine walking into a classroom seeing a room full of little mathematicians working away on their abacus. The beads will move as they count numbers, use new ideas, and solve challenges. It would be incredible to watch their learning soar!
These little, but extremely powerful math tools give immense amounts of math skills to students.
They are able to solve complex problems and use a variety of strategies to do so. They will have an incredible tool in their hands to use every single day!
The abacus will sit at the front of the room in a special basket where any student, at any time, can grab one and use it for their exact needs. I will teach them how to use them the first week of school so it's always available.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
