Application
Although today many use calculators and computers instead of abaci to calculate, abaci still remain in common use in some countries. Merchants, traders and clerks in some parts of Eastern Europe, Russia, China and Africa use abaci, and they are still used to teach arithmetic to children. Some people who are unable to use a calculator because of visual impairment may use an abacus.
Evolution
A Chinese abacus, Suanpan
The abacus (plural abaci or abacuses), also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool that was in use in Europe, China and Russia, centuries before the adoption of the written Hindu–Arabic numeral system.The exact origin of the abacus is still unknown. Today, abaci are often constructed as a bamboo frame with beads sliding on wires, but originally they were beans or stones moved in grooves in sand or on tablets of wood, stone, or metal.

For over $30 I expected more. It's a very tiny case and it was represented it as a full size abacus. I was shocked when I seen it but it was too late to reorder a bigger one for my granddaughter. So I'm a little bit disappointed

Purchased as a gift for a graduating accounting student. Nice and compact. Loved the box too.

Too small of a setup. When moving the beads, you have to be careful not to touch the other columns. Maybe a little bit bigger or a stylus would help.

Bought it as a gift. Paint on the outside of the box started peeling off when I received it.
