anybirdie here had to do abacus in primary school...????
what was the purpose of it?
dunno why just now when i was writing my test i suddenly thot abt learning how to use the abacus in primary school.......

me!
i loved it back then haha
It`s to train the kids mental calculation .
Or that`s wat i heard
no learn in school
but my house used to have 1
my mum knows how to use it
when young, i use it as skate board
purpose to calculate stuffs lo...
donoe what jia yi jian 4 that kind of stuffs.. no need much memory to do it also... lol
if u can master it, u can calculate faster than pressing calculator
true.. but i've seen those children who mastered it.. and made to do mental sums..
they were all gesturing around with their hands in the air as if to click the beads on the abacus.. their actions looked... very.. disturbing ![]()
