Inventor, Tadao Watanabe was led to the development of his CALCULATION TRAINING TOOL & SYSTEM, after realizing that there was a need for an improved teaching method and system for the basic fundamental mathematical foundations. He has designed a remarkable tool that is attractive, easy-to-use, and teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This product would make an excellent teaching tool for elementary school teachers who need to demonstrate the mathematical relationships to children. It is important to note that this product has been fully tested and proven with the use of a working prototype.

The invention, called the CALCULATION TRAINING TOOL & SYSTEM, features a rectangular-shaped base with a number of bead-shaped members mounted on the base. The primary objective of this invention is to provide students with a means to learn and understand the basic mathematical operations. With the CALCULATION TRAINING TOOL & SYSTEM, students are able to move the beads to correspond with the numbers in order to provide a more visual type of learning.
