The red and white abacus is used in contemporary primary schools for a wide range of number-related lessons, most commonly in the form of a ‘Rekenrek’. Our unique cubed style beads can do all of the same lesson activities that a tradition abacus bead set can do, plus a wider range of further activities. Use the cube beads on the string to cover traditional abacus lesson planning, or use the cube beads independently from the string for extended area, volume and weight subject teaching. These eco-friendly cubed beads are made from 70% recycled wood pulp.
