Product Code : SCL-ML-11967
Abacus Model (SKU SCL-ML-11967) is a bead counting frame in which learners move beads along rods or wires to count, represent numbers, explore place value and work simple addition and subtraction. It gives young pupils a physical picture of quantity before they rely on written sums. Each model is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies on its production floor at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and schools, tutors, contractors and distributors can order it from there.
Specifications
Beads that slide along rods or wires do all the work in this Abacus Model, and the table records each element separately. In short, every bead moved stands for one unit of the value given to its row, so the same model serves teacher demonstrations, guided practice and individual counting work.

Applications and Experiments for the Abacus Model
In early and primary classes the abacus can be used for counting practice, number recognition, showing units, tens and hundreds, and modelling addition and subtraction by moving beads. It suits pre-primary to Class 3 maths lab work and remedial number sessions with older pupils who need a concrete model.
- Pre-primary: counting beads one by one and matching them to numerals, then repeating the count with chains of Links Colour.
- Classes 1–2: representing two-digit numbers with tens and ones.
- Addition and subtraction: adding or removing beads to show a change in quantity, and marking each step as a jump on Number Lines.
- Small-group practice: pupils copy a number shown by the teacher and say its value.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can children learn with an abacus model?

Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Abacus models are produced in Saha, Ambala, India, on the company's own production floor, so Science Lab Supplies is a manufacturer rather than a trading house, and the same factory team handles your quotation.
