Learn the Chinese abacus
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Explore 4 abacus styles. Slide the beads to make numbers, add and subtract—a calm, hands-on way for kids to learn place value. Offline, no ads.
Abacus: Bead Math turns four classic counting tools into a bright, hands-on way for kids to learn numbers. Slide the colorful beads and a live number appears under the frame, so children see place value, addition and subtraction come to life.
FOUR ABACUS STYLES TO EXPLORE
• Chinese suanpan (2+5), Japanese soroban (1+4), Ming-style abacus (1+5), and a 10-bead counting frame
• Tap or slide a bead to the beam and the number updates instantly
• The live readout under the frame turns bead positions into place value kids can see
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Make a number — build the target on the beads
• Add — start from a number, then add on the abacus
• Subtract — take away, bead by bead (never goes negative)
• Three ranges as skills grow: up to 99, 999, or 9,999
