Upright Abacus
Product Code : LSK-ML-10092
Upright Abacus (SKU LSK-ML-10092) is a standing bead frame: beads slide along a series of wires or rods set in an upright frame, with each rod representing a decimal place. Because the beads face the class, teachers use it to model counting, place value and simple calculation for a group, and pupils then copy the moves. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the abacus in Ambala, India, at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, and supplies schools, contractors and distributors without intermediaries.
Specifications
The upright design stands on a table or teacher's desk with its rods presented vertically in the frame, so everyone can read the bead positions. It is the same calculating principle as a desk abacus, with rods standing for successive decimal places.

Applications and Experiments for the Upright Abacus
Standing the abacus up turns it into a demonstration tool: the teacher sets a number, the class reads it aloud, and pupils predict what happens when one more bead is added to a full rod. It is a familiar item in maths lab kits for CBSE schools and primary classrooms.
- Whole-class counting and skip counting in the early years.
- NCERT primary place value: showing ones, tens, hundreds and beyond.
- Demonstrating regrouping in addition and subtraction.
- Small-group number games where pupils take turns at the frame.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should a school choose the upright model?
Choose it when the abacus will be used to demonstrate to a group, since the beads face the class. For individual work at a pupil's table, the Abacus Desk Table is the matching model.
What does each rod stand for?
Each rod represents one decimal place, so beads on successive rods show ones, tens, hundreds and so on, which is how the frame teaches place value.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer. Science Lab Supplies makes the upright abacus in its own factory at Saha, Ambala, and quotes buyers directly from that factory.
Can it be included in a school tender?
Yes. Send the tender item list and delivery location, and the abacus can be quoted item-wise with the other maths lab equipment required.
