Indian Abacus: 1. The colour and non-colour positions of slider positions remove the confusions and the disturbing view. The features mean either value or no value positions which are clear and understanding & memory registry are easier. 2. Sliders are chosen to hide and unhide the value positions, displayed through the colour images (red and green). Visualization / Photographic memory possible at its best. The images are of bright and contrast colours. There is absolute clarity and the stress free learning. 3. The value positions and non value positions are clearly defined through colour / no colour images. Hence the accuracy at the maximum speed of calculation is possible. 4. Abacus at Zero position - In the Indian Abacus, the slider positions showing colours are the value positions and the slider positions which sink with creamish background are considered as non-value positions. An Indian Abacus Zero position is logically possible when the sliders are closed / hidden. 5. Fixing the image the sliders stay put in the positions when the Indian Abacus is vertically viewed while working and values don’t get distorted.
Conventional Abacus: 1. The Same is not possible here because of the non colour position of the beads. 2. Beads and background are of constant colours and there is no differentiation, which is the biggest weak point in this version of abacus. Photographic / visualization not so strong and much stress to eyes felt by children. 3 The value positions and non value positions are not clearly defined and hence the accuracy suffers. Stress results due to the deficiency. 4. Zero position is not possible here because of the dull colour of the beads and always visible. 5. The beads fall down and the values change while viewing the Abacus with value in a vertical position.
