Abstract

See full text

The elastic pattern abacus relates to educational counting devices for learning basic number and arithmetic concepts. The present invention introduces a new flexible medium for threading and holding counters (beads or blocks of any shapes) in a sequence, such that: they slide easily, yet are automatically held stably at any desired positions along the sequence. The members of the abacus can be separated, counted, grouped, divided, and regrouped to demonstrate arithmetic concepts and number systems. A tool for changing the arrangement of the abacus beads is also disclosed.
