Whether you’re building number sense, introducing addition and subtraction, or simply helping young learners make sense of math, this Double‑Sided Abacus is an ideal tool. It supports foundational math concepts like counting, pattern recognition, and number relationships—with clear, tangible manipulatives that kids can move, see, and explore.

 

Additional Information: This set contains products not manufactured by the seller. Please be advised that crates may contain small parts that may not be suitable for children under 3 years. Do not consume crate contents.

What’s Inside:

  • 1 double‑sided abacus (durable plastic frame with two distinct bead configurations).
  • Getting Started Guide with 5 teacher‑developed activities to guide usage and learning.
  • On one side, children use multicolored beads to practice counting by 1s. On the reverse, the red‑and‑white beads help them visualize and explore number patterns—especially groups of 5 and 10—transitioning toward addition and subtraction.

Recommended Age: Preschool through Grade 2 (roughly ages 4–8) 
This manipulative is perfect for:

  • Homeschooling families looking for a strong math manipulative that complements early math lessons.
  • Parents who want a screen‑free, tactile tool to build number sense and arithmetic confidence.
  • Young learners who benefit from moving physical objects to understand abstract math ideas.

What children will learn:

  • Counting and one‑to‑one correspondence by sliding rainbow beads and exploring numbers one at a time
  • Pattern recognition and subitizing when switching to red-and-white beads to see groups of 5s and 10s
  • Early addition and subtraction concepts—moving bead groups and seeing how numbers grow or shrink
  • Math fluency and number flexibility—helping learners visualize numbers, break apart groups, and make and break numbers visually

Standards alignment:

  • Common Core State Standards (CCSS):CCSS MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.1 & A.2: Counting to tell the number of objects and understanding number names and quantitiesCCSS MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4 & B.5: Counting to answer “how many?” questions and counting to compare numbersCCSS MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.5: Relate counting to addition and subtraction (using manipulatives to solve word problems)
  • The tool supports early number sense frameworks by making abstract concepts concrete—turning “5” or “10” into visible, moveable bead groups.
