Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor – Slots, Sliders / Colour Images

Each slot in the Indian Abacus – Digital for Tutors will have 4 lower sliders and 1 upper slider.  (All the lower sliders could be moved towards the bar individually and together also)  Similarly they could be moved away from the bar individually and together also.  Each lower slider, when individually moved towards the bar, unhidden a green colour image.  Similarly, the upper slider could be moved towards and away the bar.  By moving towards the bar, the upper slider unhidden a red color image,  and moving within the slot – up and down, hide and unhide the colour images which mean values individually and together.

Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor -Oral Sums Call out & Remote Control

The Indian Abacus-Digital for Tutors is designed using Hardware and software for various other training & testing requirements.  Calling out of sums (orals) using inbuilt Mp3 Player – the system provides calling out of oral sums – the speaker provided on each Tutor's Abacus enables reaching of the output to the entire class room; Deferred Displaying of answers after verifying the children's answers; Conducting the assessments using the countdown timer;  Setting time duration for the tests when conducted.  Using the Remote control unit, the tutor could control all the activities from one place simultaneously observing the students' individual performances.  (The tutor can more dynamically work optimizing the time required for different activities)

The Digital Display screen, an integral part of Indian Abacus – Digital for Tutors, is connected through the required hard & software, so that when the sliders are moved on the slots towards and away from the bar, display the corresponding values on the digital display screen. (When the sliders are moved for a sum while explaining or demonstrating, the movement of the sliders post the values and numbers on the Digital display screen) The Tutor while explaining and the student while working to learn on the Indian Abacus - Digital – for Tutors, could check the values / numbers of the images projected.

Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor -The design 

The design of the Indian Abacus Digital for Tutor enhances the scope for largely improved quality learning.  The skill to visualize post-learning will be better since the images for the value positions in Indian Abacus are highly distinct due to the colour.  Further the digital connect has been given to the device, both the Student Abacus and the Tutor's Abacus.  The movement of the sliders to the value positions apart from displaying the colour images also with the aid of the hardware and software built in enable the value in numbers are flashed on the LCD screen.  (The value displayed corresponds to the Abacus based manipulations done using the sliders – be it Addition, Subtraction, multiplication or division)  The tool thus aid  the Tutor and helps in better Abacus Training  & so better learning for students.
