Counting Frame Abacus

£28From 3 years

One hundred beads in ten colours for counting, adding, grouping and finding patterns.

Free to reserve. Pay when you collect, and we hold it for 3 days.

Ten rows of ten beads make numbers you can touch. Younger children slide and count; school-age children use the frame for adding, taking away and their first times tables.

The frame stands on its own, so it is easy to use on a table or the floor.

  • Counting to 100
  • Addition and subtraction
