The material explains how numbers can be built from powers of two, highlights the meaning of place values, and uses charts and step-by-step reasoning to show how representations translate into specific quantities, building intuition for complex

astring and mounted a few of these strings in a wooden frame.Wecall the device an abacus.It was a great time-saver,and it soonspread to other parts of Asia.The Russians wanted more beads ontheir abacuses,so they strung ten on each string.The Japanesefigured out how to add and subtract just as quickly with only fivebeads on each string.  \nToday many people in China and Japan still use abacuses.Thestrings represent place values(ls.10s,100s,etc.),and the posi-tions of the beads along the string represent the number of ls,10s,or 100s being used.If you think pushing beads back andforth is slow work,think again.In contests between people usingcalculators and people using abacuses to add and subtract,theabacus users usually win!Some Chinese and Japanese shopkeep-ers don't even need a real abacus.They just move their hands inthe air,sliding imaginary beads back and forth on imaginarystrings.But they still get a real answer!  \nBeads are meved tothe middle bar to becoun+ed.  \nch
