The abacus is a traditional counting tool that has been used for centuries to perform arithmetic calculations. It consists of a series of beads arranged on rods, which are mounted within a frame. By moving the beads, students can visually and physically understand mathematical concepts, making it easier for them to grasp complex calculations.
