Testimonial

"The linear abacus has been a valuable tool in our classroom for teaching students about number and algebra concepts. Its color-coded design and arrangement in tens on a string make it easy for students to solve problems and keep the classroom tidy. As a teacher, I find it convenient to model concepts on the whiteboard using my own linear abacus. Our students have successfully used it to learn about place value, fractions, decimals, addition, and subtraction."

Helen Karvelas, Teacher St Albans Heights Primary School
