The construction of this seems very solid. I haven't tried it, but it does appear very well built. There is no way to guarantee that it will be an easy task, but anything built can fall
Please note that the dimensions are 12" L x 11" W according to our supplier. The I-90 was written in west. I appreciate it!
It doesn't seem to have any effect on me. The pieces were so much fun for my grandson at a young age, so I bought it for him. He plays with it in an interesting way now, I'm not sure.
Instructions were written on the box itself, but they seemed very basic. Youtube videos have provided us with a lot of information on the many mathematical uses of this technology.
Selected User Reviews For Melissa & Doug Abacus - Classic Wooden Educational Counting Toy With 100 Beads
Her hands are simply too small to hold everything! I was not sure if even she would be able to use the abacus, so I bought Well, she uses it every day and it is a good visual when she wants to really understand what each number looks like and why we add or subtract for problem solving. Now you don't have to be afraid of multiplying! It's so beautiful! I love it! I'm looking forward to reading the directions and watching some YouTube videos as suggested by another reviewer, even though we've only used it in this way so far. The abacus fits my needs due to all the positive reviews it has received. Despite its strong and sturdy construction, it serves the purpose for which it was intended. My 2 year old loves to move the beads back and forth, and the cord is not flimsy or weak.
This was a gift I bought for my six year old and she looked at it as if I had given Nevertheless, after I showed her how to use it, whenever she has math homework she always brings it with her to help her She must be enjoying it, because I can see her appears exactly as shown, but what is not visible is that a considerable amount of quality has gone into making it.
My favorite tool to teach math is the Abacus, there's a reason it was the first tool invented. My only regret is that I should have bought this instead of wasting money on other products I haven't even touched. If I had bought this when my kids were 2, I would have saved money. This month marks the third anniversary of my birth! Teaching addition and subtraction and other concepts to my 4-year-old is proving to be a challenge. My boys are 5 years old, and this is ideal for them because it teaches all these concepts, encourages logical thinking, and due to the fact that they are visual learners, they are more responsive to this approach. I would recommend it highly.
As a novelty item and toy, this is awesome. We definitely wanted our little one to have an abacus since my husband is a science and math geek. It's too early for her to be doing math problems at 1 years old. Despite this, she enjoys moving the beads back and forth, which functions as good practice for her manufacture great toys (check out their puzzles and food items) and to be honest, I'm surprised the price wasn't a bit higher. I like the sturdy base of the table Her use of it has lasted for several months and has never resulted in anything As well as being able to grab it, she can also carry it around very easily. A second picture will give you a better idea of just how big it is.
Having trouble getting little one to work out some advanced math problems was a concern for me, so I was in need of a tool to assist her in solving them without using a shortcut. The fingers and toes worked for a while, but there are only so many fingers and toes in the world. It is an ancient counting tool that has been used by human civilization for thousands of years to keep track of large numbers. There is no need for batteries or an AC adapter. I was surprised when the child immediately took to the activity and is able to calculate large amounts of data Furthermore, I found it interesting how she remembered the temporary assignment of place values without using colored stickers or sharpies to tell which was Nowadays, this abacus is considered to be an essential item for homeschooling. The construction of the puzzle is pretty nice, with thick wood sides and a thick wood base supporting each row of wooden beads with metal rods. Steel rods are not bulky, but are neither very thin nor very thick. There are no sharp edges or splinters on any of the pieces. We both found the abacus to be fascinating, so I and the little one chose to keep it as a prize. I'm curious as to how long the baby will be able to use.
Melissa and Doug has once again produced a quality product. It's a great toy for teaching math by visual means. It must be noted that the middle wood sticks are a bit thin and fragile. If you put pressure on them, they might snap. A bit of a deception is evident from the picture It is difficult to separate the beads to count because there isn't much space between rows. Also, at the ends of the rows there isn't much space, so it makes it hard to count them since there was an abundance of beads. Even so, it does what it's supposed to do, since it is an abacus.
This is a Christmas gift for a 7 year old and an 11 year To teach my children basics in Math, I set out to teach them. There is no doubt that this is an extremely useful Having never used one before, I am trying to learn how to use it. It turned out to be a lot more difficult than I expected. There is a basic instruction booklet with it. The purpose of using YouTube is to make it more useful for us. It is my hope that my children will be able to think more analytically and incorporate different Math concepts into their learning.
They are not cheap, but they don't break easily (I'm still trying to determine whether Nicholas likes to destroy wood haha) and they're I am so glad that I purchased this!.
