![]() Working with numbers on the soroban leads to numerical fluency that helps students understand advanced math concepts and even helps with other disciplines such as science, engineering and accounting, because of the concentration and logical thought processes developed through soroban use. Use of a soroban also has value in other areas of life. Those who obtain at least a third-grade license are qualified to work in public corporations. There are six levels of mastery, staring from sixth-grade (very skilled) all the way to first-grade (for those who have completely mastered the use of the soroban). The Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry conducts examinations, which soroban users can take to obtain licenses. While their peers are simply memorizing math facts, Japanese students using a soroban are constantly manipulating numbers by breaking them down into their component pieces, which makes it easier for them to understand and learn complex math processes.Įxperts say that after two or three years, students don’t need a physical soroban – they can do the math in their head. ![]() Interactive math to master complex processesīy moving the beads up and down and seeing the numbers being represented, instead of merely memorizing math answers, students become active participants in the math process. Unit rods to the left of a designated unit rod aid in placing value by denoting number groups – ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, etc. ![]() Any number that is represented on rods to the right of a unit point is part of the decimal portion of a number. And so it goes, column by column, to create larger numbers.ĭots on the beam that mark every third rod are called “unit points” and designate the last digit of a whole number. On a particular rod, for instance, if one heavenly bead is moved down to touch the divider beam, and two earthly beads are moved up to touch the beam, the value represented for that column is 7 (5+2). The heavenly (upper) beads are each worth “5”, while the earthly (lower) beads are worth “1.” When a bead or group of beads touches the beam it represents these values. Larger versions can even go up to 31 to allow for calculation involving more digits (each rod represents a digit). The upper row of beads is referred to as “heavenly beads”, and the lower beads are called the “earthly beads.” Sorobans always have an uneven number of columns, but never less than nine.

A soroban usually consists of a wooden frame with vertical rods (columns) that beads slide on and a horizontal divider bar, called a “beam” or “reckoning bar,” that separates beads into two groups.
