Abacus 算盤


A Chinese abacus "算盤" hangs in my classroom. It's an old school calculator. It doesn't graph quadratic functions nor compute chi-square statistics, but I've always enjoyed watching older merchants use these with their quick hands. Above the abacus is a promo sticker from the TV show "NUMB3RS", which I've never seen.
