It gives young pupils a physical picture of quantity before they rely on written sums. Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer: the model comes off its production floor at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and is sold to schools, tutors, contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Abacus Model

It is a familiar item of maths lab equipment for pre-primary to Class 3 and for remedial number work with older pupils.
- Pre-primary: counting beads one by one and matching them to numerals.
- Classes 1–2: representing two-digit numbers with tens and ones.
- Addition and subtraction: adding or removing beads to show a change in quantity.
- Small-group practice: pupils copy a number shown by the teacher and say its value.
