I wanted one of these when my kids were much younger but I couldn't justify the price. I just saw them on sale yesterday for $74 which is the cheapest you will find pretty much ever, and the shipping is reasonable. I have no idea how easily it does or doesn't come apart if you are inclined to repaint it into quadrants, but even as is, it's just an awesome tool that I wanted to pass along.

That one real BIG abacus! LOL

I prefer the one you purchased from Tomoesoroban. The demonstration size soroban I saw on your blog. I really want that one but it's sooo pricey!

Yes, I do love that one! It's been a good investment and my only regret was not buying it sooner. If my kids were 1,2, or even 3 I would buy this big 100 bead one, too. But at 4 & 5 both kids use our smaller one without issue, so I cannot justify the cost even though it's SO beautiful! smile

OMG   LOL  LOL
I thought it was easier for kids to subitize when they can see the whole abacus? The smaller size might be harder for small hands to move the beads but they can see the "whole" image of the beads.
What do you think?

That is exactly what someone else pointed out to me and thinking on it, I probably agree. The first choice listed is probably better. But wow, is it impressive or what LOL?

And no, this one is not  a deal/on sale like the first one, I just added it to this thread for fun. smile

Ha!
TmT-
I just happened to pop back in to see how everyone was, and look what I found:)

I actually just MADE one of these for a friends b-day. Their kiddo is turning 2. I used recycled plastic balls from the ball pit Alex had when she was younger...we just, uh, skewered them on dowels!
Too cool...

Wow, we need an update thread

You got it!

Hubby already took it over, but we are attending the party this weekend so I will have plenty of photo ops!
It was so simple...10 dowels with plastic balls to match RS colors. Why didn't I think of that when Alex was younger?!
Speaking of RS, a shameless plug. I am convinced that their AL Abacus and methods for place value are the sole reason Alex is where she is in math now...she was recently given the ADAM-7, which tests 44 sub categories, and tested solidly in the 4th grade level for almost every one!

Just want to show you guys my abacus. I bought it from Tomoe Soroban. It's made of plastic but very very of good quality! It's a little bigger than the mini abacus we got from UCMAS.


The one above is the abacus we got from the center. It's too small for my son. He likes to work with the new one I bought from Soroban.com.

Hi TmT, is this the 100 bead one you are talking about?  It seems like a decent price, but I haven't checked the international shipping.  http://www.soroban.com/english/shopping/?pid=1204120979-403442&ca=1

I have the one on the left, third row up from the bottom. Mine only has 5 digits, Kerri got the much longer one.  The one you posted is great too!
