In this video, students will learn and practise Mixed Big Friends Questions using a Digital Abacus Frame. The session focuses on single-digit mixed calculations involving addition and subtraction, helping children understand and apply Big Friends formulas through guided Abacus practice.
The Abacus Digital Tool provides an interactive learning experience where students can visualize numbers, understand bead movements and solve different types of mixed problems. This practice session is designed to strengthen fundamental Abacus skills while gradually improving mental calculation speed and accuracy.

Understanding the Big Friends Formula
The Big Friends Formula is an important concept in Abacus learning. Big Friends are pairs of numbers that add up to 10. These number combinations help students perform calculations when direct bead movements are not possible.
The five main Big Friends combinations are:
By understanding and practising these combinations, students can perform addition and subtraction more efficiently.
In this video, children will solve mixed questions that help them apply the Big Friends method to different calculations.
Digital Abacus Practice
The Digital Abacus Tool allows students to practise calculations using a virtual Abacus. Through guided exercises, children can understand how numbers are represented and how bead movements are used to solve problems.
Students can pause the video, attempt each question independently and check their calculations before moving to the next problem.
Regular digital practice can reinforce the concepts taught during Abacus classes.
