Loved your explanation and so did the kids ;-) Presentations need to be a bit entertaining to get the kids interested They liked your zombie scenario

Its not completely useless if you can't bring phones or calculators and you don't wanna waste paper cuz your limited and you can think pretty good use an abacus
Comment from : Maria Cristina Magtibay

Sowhy did you push 2 beads over that one time for 21x7? Of course, you know the answer to 21x7 and you just pushed 2 over that one time knowing the answer, but what is the reasoning behind it?

For my 18 years of existing, I don't know if this is useful to learn
Comment from : CRUVELL

When you did 21*7 you posted 2 needs over
Comment from : Bhavyesh Poluri

At 7:34 you pushed 2 beads over because you realized you started wrong Why not just admit that you made a mistake instead of confusing your viewer If a kid is watching, what's he going to think? This is a man thing It actually shows strength to admit you made a mistake This is how we make people like Donald Trump just say, "oops" and show kids what to do if they make a mistake Mistakes happen Fudging is weakness
Comment from : Renee Kaplowitz

If you want to teach, cheating and covering up your mistakes is not a good idea Why not mention that you messed up 21x7 by moving the first bead erroneously and instead moving two beads in the third step?

I read a lot of medieval themed books and everytime a character uses an abacus I always wondered what the process was so thanks for the tutorial
Comment from : Kyle Goyak

Bruh its not useless at all Abacus is the reason my calculations are extremely strong now
Comment from : Dark Raider

I do visual math in my brain that's faster I use blocks in my mind I can't use it for more complex math, but use it for 80 of all my calcs

Fun (and funny) video (and a handsome guy!) I would not say this is a completely useless or silly in the modern age, though I'm a pianist, and I know the value of physical memory You can imagine a piano song in your head from beginning to end; But to actually PLAY the song is to essentially internalize it from the physical world into the mental (mystically speaking, of course) Even when I teach my piano students a new song, I make them sing the tune as well, because, again you are not just thinking the song, you are physically creating it Same thing with numbers With an abacus you are syncing your mind with you body This will increase your focus on what you are calculating, but moreso you will remember it faster And just as finger-memory imporoves ones musicanship, the abacus will improve your own counting skills, and make you more idependent to count things on your own, even // I'm going to take a leap of faith and mention my main uTube channel, "The Acoustic Rabbit Hole," where I explain how created my own color-shape chart (my Musicolor Matrix), to symbolically read the music as a play piano Be well! - The Acoustic Rabbit Hole

TIME TO USE THIS IN DIVISION TESTS BOIIIIIII
Comment from : SeanYTcars

Should have drawn an abacus
Comment from : Ibarra AI

I am aware the "useless" bit is just tongue in cheek, for the most part in the modern world, yeah, entirely useless lol But its a good way to conceptualize large digits in your head, and a great way to proof your work twice over and potentially make yourself more accurate Solve on paper, solve on abacus, now you double checked in an alternative means
Comment from : Killgaz Motron

That was completely useless i was hoping there would be a really cool way to use it to make things easier than doing it in my head But you were right Completely useless well made anyways
Comment from : RAYMOND VS TECHNOLOGY

its THE way to teach maths to children Other modern methods are confusing and take longer to teach- even the teachers are confused by the methods prescribed by the curriculum I wish I was taught this way in the UK
Comment from : Madeleine Rose

Don't sound useless to me Wish they used it with me when I was younger I should use it with my daughter
Comment from : Hi My name is 144

No decimal point numbers calculation what a shame 😅
Comment from : CREED404 YT

This is not useless Found this after watching kids do this in their head God American public schools suuck
Comment from : SnarkySharky

An abacus can teach you literally mental math
Comment from : Emmanuel Montalvo

This is very cool and well explained! Love it!❤
Comment from : Mae Gonzales

Why no subtraction😢
Comment from : Lionna Trixie Pasigna

Thanks for proving me right ro my fiance, really helpful!
Comment from : Praetor Duke

The benefit of the abacus in today's age is if you get really good at using it, you can visualize it and get accurate calculations for just about anything fairly quickly I know a girl whose parents forced her to use an abacus on homework growing up and she's in her 20s now but can spit out an accurate answer for anything you throw at her because she uses a combination of mental math and mentally visualizing an abacus She's crazy fast too
Comment from : JazzyJ

Not gonna lie, but the division part trick is something I never thought to do
Comment from : Antonio NG

you explained it well, except for the multiplying with 2 digits I noticed you slid 2 of the top ones over instead of 1 at a time You forgot to slide one in the beginning to include the 21 that was already at the bottom
Comment from : Letty G

4:25 you flipped 2 beads instead of one so your number was under by 21 but still so cool!!
Comment from : Derek Prawitz

My head can calculate faster
Comment from : Paramia Vivoynineonecfone

Cartoons made me think I’d be using this a lot as a kid
Comment from : Pepino

7:11 It's not useless! It's completely functional My husband got it for our kids but I ended up liking it I looked it up The sumerians used it!
Comment from : Sakura

why am i learning abacus at 2am
Comment from : Dyptroth

Why didn't i learn this in school? would've helped a lot during the early years
Comment from : shyguyshow

This is fantastic! Thank you! I bought this EXACT abacus yesterday from a charity shop - £2!! For my nephew who loves numbers I came to youtube to learn how to use it, so I can reach him, and your video came up I clicked because it was the same abacus as mine - I thought "what are the chances" 😄 I stuck around because the explanation was great! I'll need to watch again to grasp it But it was great Thank you!!
Comment from : Dinky

Big up the mighty abacus ❤
Comment from : Hobi1Kenobi

If you use the abacus long enough, and practice for years, you can begin to solve large math problems in your head with ease
Comment from : Phish N Chimps

This is so complicated when other mechanism are easier
Comment from : Omar Viktoriya Mosquera

This is by far the best video on all things abacus Thank you!
Comment from : Maria Adams

thanks
Comment from : olany justine

This rudimentary system came into use about 2000 years ago and formed the basis for digital computing How long did it take you to master, Ed? Thank you for the video
Comment from : Austin U Denis

Its Not Useless I Went To Abacus Classes From My 2nd Standard Till 7th Standard And I Find It Way More Easier To Do Calculations Like Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication Ad Etc Which Are Difficult For Even The Class Toppers To Solve, And Be Honest Are Calculators Gonna Help You To Solve Papers In Exams?brbrIts A Skill Which Isn't Easy, Needs Training But All Of That Is Usefull For Daily Life And Scoring Marks + It Increases Your Concentration Level, No Skill Is Useless
Comment from : V:Lemoncoat Gacha

I knew that you could use them for addition and subtraction but I had no idea you could use it for multiplication, division and roots Genius
Comment from : Green

I'm going to need to rewatch this until I get the hang of it but I'm glad you made this video I had this as a toy but never learned/wasn't taught how to really use it Tbh, the adults around me never knew either 😅
Comment from : LittleYardiePrincess

It's not useless, those who become very skilled at the abacus can do difficult math in their mind, it becomes like a physical skill that you can perform mentally like riding a bike
Comment from : Matthew Clarke

Basically the same system as casino chips
Comment from : TheAceLewis

Person whose presenting is a first class idiot He doesn't know value of anything valuable
Comment from : Dilum ratnayake

Useless? Thanks to you I can visualize it and do absolutely large calculations in my head My mental abacus is up to 80 rows after a lot of practice in order to teach my kid cousin how to destroy basic math with her mental calculator I do it in the air with my finger since it works
Comment from : Goku

Just randomly stepped on this, and I gotta say, its one of the best 8 minutes I've lost so far
Comment from : Tere Ranada

Glad you admitted it is "useless" as a skill From first grade [Fall 1957] until sixth grade [Spring 1963], my classrooms always contained an abacus Each instructor claimed how "fast" calculations could be done with it, and that we, too, would learn how to calculate at lightning speed, using one Sixty years later, I am still awaiting their instruction
Comment from : Tony Panzarella

i passed my math test cause they didnt say no abacus
Comment from : British V1nce

Now i know how math started in the stone age Bunch of 🐒 playing with sticks and stones 🤣
Comment from : Dark Shadow

my mom bought me 1 when i was a kid i knew it was a calucator of sorts but i didnt know how to use it and i was like 6 at the time so i would pretend i knew what i was doing and just play with it cause it was colorful

Abacuses are not silly at all 😮😊 it holds many intellectual extra gifts and benefits! As well as many unseen benefits to the brains cognitive function as well as other systems like concentration 😊 throw away your calculator 😊you wont regret it ! 😊
