Skills to be developed with Ten Bead Abacus

  • Master Counting to 10

    Children learn to count confidently from 0 to 10 while moving beads rhythmically. This multi-sensory approach helps reinforce numerical order and memorisation through repetition and physical movement.

  • Understand Quantity at a Glance

    By moving a group of beads at once (e.g., 3 beads for the number 3), your child begins to understand quantity as a whole concept, not just as separate items counted one by one.

  • Visualise Basic Addition and Subtraction

    Introduce simple maths by physically adding and removing beads. Ask your child questions like “What’s 3 plus 5?” and let them move the beads to find the answer – building number sense and early mental maths skills.

Additional Features

Bright and Colourful Beads

Visually appealing red and yellow beads help capture your child’s attention and keep them engaged while learning. The rhythmic motion of moving beads also builds concentration and sensory integration.

Supports Fine Motor Development

As children grip, slide, and manipulate the beads, they strengthen their fingers and hands – essential for writing, self-care, and coordination tasks.
