Abacus / Soroban

• Light brown wooden frame
• 12 wooden rods with 1 plastic bead / counter on the top and 4 plastic beads / counters on the bottom

• A metal knob and re-setter
• Dimensions: 27.2 cm x 8.5 cm x 3.0 cm / 10.71 inch x 3.35 inch  x 1.18 inch

• This abacus / soroban is a required device in any abacus / soroban course.
  
  
• This abacus / soroban is big enough for your child, so that he will find it easy to manipulate the beads / counters.
  
  
• The beads / counters alternate between brown and black every 3 rods, so that your child may read off the number represented on the abacus / soroban quickly and easily. The first 3 rods of brown beads / counters would stand for thousand millions, the next 3 rods of black beads / counters would stand for millions, the next 3 rods of brown beads / counters would stand for thousands, and the last 3 rods of black beads / counters would stand for hundreds, tens and ones.

• This abacus / soroban is very user-friendly and highly recommended for use in any abacus / soroban course.

• "I was very surprised at the quality - these are much nicer than the cheap Chinese abacus my classes were using, and the Soroban style is less confusing as it does not have the extra beads to contend with. The "zero-out" feature and 3-bead color alternation makes it easier to introduce. The quality details in the wood construction and the "feet" for the unit on the back were appreciated. Thanks so much! Julie Brennan"
  
  
• "The Soroban/Abacus I ordered last month arrived today. Thank you very much. It works well and is very beautiful, and I like the two different colors for beads alternating every three rows--makes it easy to keep track of place value. My son is excited to learn how to use it.

• "Dear SGBox; I received my order in excellent condition and in a timely manner. Thank you very much. The math books are for my grandchildren, and I have become very interested in the abacus and am happily following the very clear directions. I am hoping to introduce the children in a local school to Singapore Math. So far, the teachers are not trained in the method, but a father in the school has plans for a math club. I will have him look over the method as portrayed in the books and then wait to see if he or other parents are interested. Again thank you for your prompt and excellent service. Sincerely yours, J F MD"
