            Numbers on the Abacus


            A spike-abacus helps the students to understand

            the  number  and  its  place  value.  Spike-abacus  is

            very  helpful  to  understand  the  concept  of

            magnitude and name of a number. We know that

            the spike-abacus represents the number of multi-
            digits  where  the  digits  are  represented  by  the
                                                                                       H-th  T-th  Th    H    T     O
            spikes of the abacus.

            The spikes from right to left represent the places of the place values of the

            digits in increasing order i.e., 1, 10, 100, ............        etc.
