## How the digital abacus works

Each rod has a place value, from ones, tens and hundreds up to lakhs. To make **
35**, move 3 beads on the Tens rod and 5 on the Ones rod. Watch the total change:
35 = 30 + 5. Try 53 next and see why the same digits have different values.

## Practice Mode and the place-value quiz

 * **Explore:** Build any number and read its total and spelling. Select **Listen**
   to hear it or **Clear All** to start again.
 * **Practice:** Choose Level 1, 2 or 3 and move beads to match the target number.
 * **Quiz:** Use the 10-question check to practise digit value, expanded form, number
   order and tens and ones.

## Use it in class or at home

Show 127 on a smartboard and ask learners to explain what each digit means. Then
ask what changes when you add one ten. This short activity supports foundational
number sense, a focus of NIPUN Bharat.
