Abacus Practice: Mental Math

Build an answer with beads. Check it, then try your mistakes again.
Abacus Practice brings Japanese soroban and mental arithmetic practice to iPhone and iPad. Use the on-screen abacus, work with your own physical soroban, or answer mentally.

CREATE YOUR OWN DRILLS
Generate problems from selected conditions and practice them in the app. Timed mock exams show answer progress and scores by subject. These are practice formats based on Japanese soroban exams, not official examinations or a guarantee of passing.

FIND YOUR FAVORITE BEADS
The standard wooden beads have a detailed natural texture. Pro adds skins including springy mint Jelly and transparent Glass, each with a distinct feel and sound. Try extra skins in the interactive preview before purchase. Sound, haptics and left-handed layout are adjustable.
