The Viga wooden abacus is a time-tested way to make numbers clear and tangible.

This classic wooden abacus has a stable wooden frame, 10 metal rods and 100 colourful beads. Sliding the beads, a child sees numbers grow and easily understands adding and taking away. Ten rows of ten beads also introduce tens in a natural way. The sturdy build will last from kindergarten to first grade.

What your child develops

• Maths basics. Counting and sums.
• Logical thinking. Tens and ones.
• Fine motor skills. Sliding beads.
• Memory and focus. Mental tasks.

How to play

Count the beads in one row, then slide two away and ask how many are left.

Give simple sums like 3 + 2 and let your child find the answer with the beads.
