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. Set up in front of a group, it can be used to model counting, place value and simple calculation, and pupils can then copy the moves. Production of the upright frame takes place at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, where Science Lab Supplies manufactures it and deals with schools, contractors and distributors without intermediaries.
Specifications
Every detail of the upright counting frame has a row of its own in the table. In short, it works on the same calculating principle as a desk abacus, with beads sliding along wires or rods set upright in a frame and each rod standing for a successive decimal place.

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 suits maths lab kits for CBSE schools and primary classrooms where place value is taught to a group.
- 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, then repeating it with Base Ten Cubes.
- Small-group number games where pupils take turns at the frame after rolling standard Dice.

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 frame stands upright in front of 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?
The upright abacus leaves Science Lab Supplies' own factory in Saha, Ambala, so the company is its manufacturer, and buyers in India and abroad receive their quotation straight 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 for the same schools.
