Abacus
Abacus, instrument used in performing arithmetic calculations. It consists essentially of a tablet or
frame bearing parallel wires or grooves on which counters or beads are moved. A modern abacus
consists of a wooden frame with beads on parallel wires, and a crossbar oriented perpendicular to the
wires that divides the beads into two groups. Each columnthat is, each wire represents one place
in the decimal system. The column farthest to the right is the ones column; the next column to the left
is the tens column; and so on. In each column, there are five beads below the crossbar, each of which
represent one unit, and two beads above the crossbar, each of which represent five units. For
example, in the tens column, each of the group of five beads represents ten, and each of the group of
two beads represents fifty. Beads that are to be counted as part of a number are placed against the
crossbar.
Many early civilizations used the abacus. In ancient Roman culture it was a sand-covered wax tablet,
marked table, or grooved table or tablet. A simplified form of abacus was used in medieval England. It
consisted of a tablet ruled into spaces representing the positions of the counters; coins, buttons,
stones, or other small objects were moved to make thecalculations. The checkered tablecloth, from
which the name Exchequer is derived, was originally a calculating device like the ruled tablet. The
abacus is still used in China and Japan.

Read the paragraph carefully and then answer the question below!
First Sete would learn on a small drum, and then he would graduate to a
much larger one. The large drums were made from the logs of padouk
trees. They made sounds that could be heard far away. I see you have
found a good piece of bamboo, Uncle Baelo said when he arrived. Sete
watched carefully as his uncle made the bamboo stem into a drum. First
his uncle cut a slit in the wood using a special ax. Then he made the
long, narrow cut deeper at one end. By hitting this side of the bamboo
with a stick, Sete could make a deep, low sound. Then Uncle Baelo dug
a smaller amount of wood out of the other end. By hitting this side, Sete
could make a high sound. Later he would learn to use these sounds to
make words.
Read the paragraph carefully and then answer the question below!
Sete practiced the drum sounds every day for many months. At the
same time, he learned their meanings. One day Sete saw his uncle
coming from the far end of the village. Uncle Baelo was carrying
something large. As he got closer, Sete saw what it was Are you letting
me borrow this large drum? Sete asked excitedly. No, Uncle Baelo
answered. Sete stopped smiling. Do not be sad, nephew, Uncle Baelo
said when he saw that the happiness had disappeared from Setes
face. I made this drum for you as a gift. Its yours to keep. Use it wisely.
Sete did not answer. As his uncle turned to walk away, Sete ran his hand
over his smooth new drum and smiled. He waited until the next day to
use his gift for the first time. Uncle Baelo was fishing on the river, but he
would hear the message.
