The results of this study indicate that (1) the retrieval method, procedure method, and mental arithmetic method are the three main calculation methods of abacus arithmetic, each of them having some variations (2) experts tend to use the retrieval method, while novices tend to use the mental arithmetic method (3) the retrieval method and mental arithmetic method are applied more for simple operations and addition problems, while the procedure method is applied more for complicated operations and subtraction problems.Īshcraft, M. The experiment in the study invited 36 participants including 12 vocational high-school students as junior experts, 12 ordinary high-school students as novices, and 12 bank clerks as senior experts to validate the 3 × 3 × 2 experiment.

This model describes three methods for solving abacus arithmetic problems: retrieval method, procedure method, and mental arithmetic method and three external factors that affect the choice of those methods: level of expertise, level of difficulty, and type of operation. Any food you choose to eat at Abacus will be fresh, appetizing, and inexpensive.Based on the literature review about abacus arithmetic, this study proposes a model of the cognitive process of Chinese abacus arithmetic. Their fortune cookies are the best way to end a meal. But the thing that really separates Abacus from other Chinese restaurants are their chocolate covered fortune cookies, which are always chilled and yummy. Appetizers from spring rolls to fantastic dumplings great traditional soups like egg drop and wonton to their Chinese pizza that is made of flour, scallions, ginger and garlic sauce any choice is a tasty one. Some of the greatest things about Abacus are the beginnings and endings. The menu contains a lot of spicy warnings, but there are also plenty of dishes that are mild. Abacus has great classic Chinese food like sweet and sour chicken, moo shu pork, and sesame chicken. Every lover of Chinese food has at one time or another consumed Chinese food dripping in peanut oil, but Abacus has the freshest food and vegetables. The family owned restaurant keeps up a dutiful staff so service is always fast and pleasant, but when it comes to their food, Abacus is unsurpassed in freshness. Every table is equipped with hot tea and fried noodles with duck sauce and mustard sauce. The comfy booths and tables give an open feel, but since the place isn’t usually packed it is quiet and personal. Once you walk in, you will notice Abacus is covered with mirrors on the walls, royal red carpet, and the most enchanting element- a huge fish tank in the middle of the restaurant. Although Abacus can be an order in and takeout place, the ambiance is definitley worth the trip.

Tucked in a tiny corner of the Weis plaza, right across the street from Calvary Baptist and North Penn High School, is possibly one of the best sit-down Chinese restaurants in the Lansdale area.
