Abacus is a tool which can be used to calculate - Add, Subtract, Multiply & divide, apart from being able to do other arithmetic functions and Brain activation. The user of Abacus, predominantly a student child would need to properly positioned to operate the Abacus with the deft fingers of both the hands.

  1. The student should

Operation of Abacus for Addition:

  1. When the slider/s moves towards the Bar it assigns the value,

    Plus (+) Operation

    Close X

    Indian Abacus This picture displays two unit pointer of the 9th column, the first unit pointer column represents zero position. The second unit pointer column displays slider movements towards the bar for plus operation, which represents units value.

    it is for Plus (+) operation.
  2. When the slider/s moves away from the bar it does not assign any value,

    Close X

    Minus (-) Operation



    Indian Abacus The first unit pointer column displays slider movements away from the bar for minus operation, which represents zero value. The second unit pointer column displays zero position.

    it is for Minus (-) operation.
  3. There are totally five unit pointers facing columns, but the student should use only the middle unit pointer (in the 9th column) - Home column - to start doing the computation.
  4. Use right hand thumb to move lower slider in the 9th column towards the bar for plus (+) operation.
  5. Use right hand index finger to move lower slider in the 9th column away from the bar for minus (-) operation.
  6. Use only index finger to move the upper slider in the 9th column, towards and away from the bar for both plus and minus (+ & -) operations.
  7. Left hand index finger must be used to move the lower slider in the 10th column for both operations i.e. +10 to +40 and -10 to -40.
  8. Use left hand middle finger to move upper slider in the 10th column again for both minus and plus (+/-) operations. i.e. +50 & -50

Operation of Abacus for Subtraction:

  1. When the slider/s moves away from the bar it does not assign any value, it is for Minus (-) operation.
  2. Use right hand index finger to move lower slider in the 9th column, away from the bar for minus (-) operation.
  3. Use only index finger to move the upper slider in the 9th column, away from the bar for Minus (-) operations.
  4. Left hand index finger must be used to move the lower slider away from the bar in the 10th column for -10 to -40.
  5. Use left hand middle finger to move upper slider away from the bar in the 10th column for Minus (-) operation, i.e. -50.

Values of sliders from Column nos. 9 to 17 of Abacus

  1. The 9th column facing unit pointer is considered as Unit / Home column. The upper slider represents the value as Five (5) of this column and the lower slider represents the value as one (1) each.  The sliders set in this column assigns value “one ” each, together displays
