How to Use Shichida Method 100 Bead Abacus

Count Together: Move the beads one by one while singing numbers from 1 to 100. Once your child is confident, try counting backwards or skip counting by 2s, 5s, or 10s. It’s a fun and engaging way to build number fluency.

Understand Basic Concepts: As your child moves the beads, help them grasp foundational ideas like up/down, left/right, long/short, and big/small.

Practise Addition and Subtraction: Ask simple maths questions like “What is 3 plus 5?” and guide your child to solve it using the abacus. This hands-on method helps children visualise number changes and understand quantity.

Develop Manual Dexterity: Moving each bead helps strengthen fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination - important building blocks for writing and other daily tasks.
