This is an American abacus and a mini version of the abacus used with RightStart Math. Our mini-abacus gets used most when we travel or when the little sister wants her own abacus during school. But it works for everyday use too.
Start by cutting your skewers in half (I used the mini saw on my husbands Swiss Army knife). Be sure that the beads slide all the way up and down the skewer before you start gluing. Next glue 10 skewers evenly spaced to a popsicle stick and then glue another popsicle stick on top to hold one end in place. Now slide all your beads on in color blocks of 5 down the first 5 skewers. Reverse the color pattern for the next 5 skewers. Glue the popsicle sticks to the other end and clamp with the mini binder clips removing the metal prongs. If you want you can space the clips on one end as shown above and put a little sticker on the back marking the place value as is done on the regular AL abacus. Otherwise just four clips at either end is sufficient.
