What Is the Decimal Abacus Used For?
A Decimal Abacus makes the decimal point something pupils can see. Some spikes stand for whole-number places such as ones and tens, and the rest for tenths, hundredths and smaller places, with the decimal point marked between them, for example with a paper label. Beads placed on a spike show how many of that place value a number has.
When adding two decimals, pupils build the first number, add the second bead by bead, and exchange ten beads on the tenths spike for one bead on the ones spike, the carrying step that often confuses children on paper. Subtraction works the same way in reverse, exchanging one bead for ten on the spike to the right.
