Creative math.

3-22-2010 - by Olimpia from Grovetown, GA

I loved this!!! My 5-year old gets creative with shapes and colors as she adds and "takes away". It's fun, it's visually pleasing, you can take it on the road and requires nothing other than a parent who can guide the child's imagination and make math fun and easy. I would buy this again; I'd even buy it as a gift. Highly recommend it!!!

Abacus is wonderful

I bought this abacus for my kids cause I had one when I was growing up and I used one in school. It really helped me form good math skills and I know it will do the same for my kids. They just started using it and are really enjoying it. Plus, it's great quality!

Multiple Intelligences

Our toy experts have indicated that the Abacus strengthens the following Intelligences:

Math-Logical

Children with strong Math-Logical intelligence have the ability to reason deductively and can recognize and manipulate abstract patterns or relationships. Students who have strong problem-solving and reasoning skills will excel in this intelligence.

Spatial

Children with Spatial intelligence have the ability to create visual-spatial representations and can transfer them mentally or concretely. Students who exhibit this intelligence need a mental or physical "picture" to understand the information being presented.
