Overview

This brightly coloured set makes learning about place value fun and easy! It comprises 3 stands, 9 rods, 81 abacus beads and 9 sets of 0-9 number tiles. The abacus allows early learners to match and represent number tiles with values. Up to 9 beads can be placed on any rod, not 10, so the tenth bead must be exchanged for a bead on the rod to the left, showing that 10 ones make up 1 ten. An essential set to support learning place value.
