00:00Hello Kids!
00:09Today, I am going to teach you something very important and interesting.
00:14Do you know what this is called?
00:17This is called the Abacus Tool.
00:20Today, we are going to learn about the Abacus.
00:23And we shall learn it with our two friends, Ray and Ruby.
00:28Ray will assist to move the beads.
00:31And Ruby will help us count the beads.
00:34Alright then, shall we start?
00:37Ray, Ruby, are you ready?
00:40Let's go!
00:42Before we start calculating on the Abacus Tool,
00:45let's understand the term Abacus in detail.
00:48Abacus is a calculating device.
00:51The word Abacus is a Latin word derived from the Greek word Abax.
00:57Can you guess what does Abax mean?
01:00Abax means a table or a tablet.
01:04It seems our friends have a question.
01:07Is it called Abacus everywhere?
01:10Well, not really.
01:12In China, the tool is called Suanpan.
01:15In Japan, it's called Soroban.
01:18And in Russia, it's called Shorty.
01:21But do you know that the word Abacus hides a meaning in itself?
01:26So what is it?
01:27It is, A stands for Abundant.
01:31B stands for Beats.
01:33A stands for Addition.
01:35C stands for Calculation.
01:37U stands for Utility.
01:39And S stands for System.
01:42Now, can you tell me what the Abacus is used for?
01:46That is correct Ray!
01:48Abacus is used for Calculation.
01:51It's an ancient calculating device that helps us to calculate faster using visualization techniques.
01:58It's used in many Asian and Western stores.
02:02Not only that, but it's also taught in many Asian and Western schools.
02:07Yes, Ruby, I see you have a question.
02:11You want to know how many types of the Abacus tools are available?
02:15There are different types of Abacus tools available.
02:19But these are the most common ones.
02:24The bigger tool that you see here is the teacher's tool, which means it's my tool.
02:29And the two smaller tools are the student's tool, which means it is your tool.
02:36Because now you're learning the basics of the Abacus, you might get any one of these tools.
02:42The colorful one or the brown one to practice hands-on and to calculate.
02:48But working on both of these is the same.
02:51Alright?
02:52Ah!
02:53There goes the bell.
02:55Today, we shall stop our session here.
02:58I hope that the introduction to the Abacus has piqued your interest and you're curious to know more.
03:05In the next lesson, we will explore the different parts of the Abacus.
03:10See you there.
03:12Goodbye kids!
03:18Bye spirits.
03:19My god.
03:20It's a beautiful entrance.
03:21I will walk through kilometres.
03:23It can be a mess.
03:24Failure...
03:25My light...
03:26I swear to you Hah!
03:27It's beautiful scenery...
