What 18th Kyu builds
18th Kyu is one of this app's beginner levels (answers 6–10 (using the 5-bead)). Single-digit addition only, so children learn the friends of 5 and 10 one at a time.
* The format (digits, terms, total digits) is this app's own guide, based on publicly available abacus exam examples. Every number was generated by this app; nothing is copied from any exam. This app is not affiliated with any abacus exam organisation. “Kyu” and “Dan” are the Japanese level names (20th Kyu is the first step; Dan is above 1st Kyu).
