Nice device, but not like a normal abacus. Horizontal instead of vertical, no reckoning bar and more beads to deal with. Don't confuse this with working a "normal" abacus...it isn't the same at all.

This is a great product for younger children who might not have the manual dexterity to use a smaller abacus. Also, the use of 2 colors for the beads makes understanding the concept of grouping by 5 much easier.
It's also just a fun manipulative for the kids to use. Both my children get excited at the prospect of using the abacus, and WANT to do math because of it!
