hand2mind Mini 100 Bead Wooden Rekenrek, Abacus for Kids Math, Math Manipulatives Kindergarten, Counting Rack for Kids, Counters for Kids Math, Educational Toys for Elementary Kids (Set of 1)

This is just what I wanted for my classroom.

The size is perfect as an on table or take-to-the car adjunct to discussing numbers up to 100. I like that 5 are red and 5 are white on each row so the kids can quickly visualise the number. The beads slide easily, a bit too easily sometimes when we're in the car, but the kids manage. My 5 and 6 year old use it when we discuss numbers at home and in the car.

Great visual during math. Seems sturdy. Was looking for the 100 bead in a not so obnoxiously huge frame. This fits the bill.

These are great for teachers

This product didn't blow me away or anything, but so far it seems to be what it claims. Build quality is fine, not stupendous but it doesn't seem like it will fall apart quickly. It's kind of midrange quality for cheap wooden toys made in China.There are plastic feet which are glued on. Although the design is fine (they fit over the end of the wood like a sleeve), the glue failed so I will have to reglue it, which will take some of my time.Everything functions as expected and none of the core components of the abacus have failed. The beads slide just fine and nothing is particularly wobbly or loose.If you're on the fence about buying this, I'd say just get it. At time of writing this, it costs about ten bucks. It's not heirloom quality but will probably last through multiple children.
