Abacus Upright
Abacus Upright (Product Code: SLE/MAT/02) is an upright bead-frame calculating instrument used for teacher-led demonstrations of place value, counting and regrouping in primary and middle-school maths rooms. Like every abacus, its beads slide along a series of wires or rods set in a frame to represent the decimal places, and the upright format suits showing each step to a group. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Abacus Upright Used For?
With the frame standing at the front of the room, the teacher can build a number while the class counts aloud, then ask pupils what changes when one more bead is moved. Regrouping becomes visible: when a rod is full, the beads are cleared and one bead moves up to the next place. Showing that multiplying by ten simply shifts the bead pattern one rod to the left is a memorable moment for many learners.
Invite pupils to the frame to solve a sum while others check on paper or on their own desk abacus. Face the beads towards the class, use a pointer to show which rod is being changed, and keep the frame at a height the back row can see. It is an easy addition to school lab equipment for a dedicated maths room.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited produces the Abacus Upright under its ScienceLab trading name as the original equipment manufacturer, working from its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the item is built there and not bought in from another firm, schools, education departments, dealers and importers get their quotation from the maker itself, and any later request for parts or extra frames goes back to the same factory — just ask us. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Abacus Upright?
The Abacus Upright is a calculating instrument whose beads slide along a series of wires or rods set in a frame to represent the decimal places. Its upright format makes it a demonstration abacus for teaching a whole group.
Why use an upright abacus instead of desk abacuses?
An upright abacus such as the Abacus Upright lets the teacher model a calculation where every pupil can follow it. Many classrooms use it at the front together with desk abacuses, so pupils repeat each step on their own frames.
How does the Abacus Upright represent place value?
On the Abacus Upright each rod represents one decimal place. Beads on the right-hand rod count units, the next rod counts tens, and so on, so a number is read by counting the beads moved on each rod.
What size is the Abacus Upright and how many beads does it have?
