Abacus Math Program – Lesson 2 – Counting 6 to 9
Now that we know how to enter and remove the numbers from 1 to 5 on the abacus, we will continue with the remaining numbers 6 to 9. From this point we will be able to represent all 10 digits, 0 through 9, on a single rod of the abacus or soroban. As a reminder, in
Abacus Basic Use and Introduction to Counting
This video is an introduction to soroban construction and some of its basic use. Here we have a 17 rod soroban. I can represent a base-10 number up to 17 digits. The soroban is constructed with 17 vertical rods each rod containing 5 beads. The beads are separated by a counting bar call the reckoning
Abacus Math Program – Lesson 1 – Counting 1 to 5
Learning to use the abacus or soroban is learning to transform every arithmetic problem to a single digit operation similar to the four standard math algorithms taught in elementary school. By reducing problem complexity to just single digit operations, abacus users quickly gain both speed and accuracy. The RightLobeMath online abacus math program starts by teaching students 6 simple
How Many Beads are on an Abacus?
The answer to this question depends on the type of abacus you are considering. The Japanese version of the abacus, called a Soroban, has 5 beads per rod. Each rod of the Soroban can represent a digit from 0 to 9. Since a soroban is designed with a base-10 numbering system, the soroban is ideal

What Abacus Should You Buy?
To get started with the RightLobeMath.com online math program, we need an abacus or preferably a Japanese Soroban which can be purchased at anytime on Rightlobemath.com. We highly recommend in the beginning of a student’s abacus training that they use a “physical” abacus and not a “digital” abacus. The reason for suggesting the use of a
Aging, Alzheimer’s and The Abacus
We know as our bodies age so too will our brains. Just as it is important to keep our bodies in good physical condition we also need to keep our minds active and our brains learning throughout life. We mostly associate the loss of memory and decreased brain function with age. But research has shown
