Place a number on the abacus

Step 5

      Numbers from 6 to 9 can be placed on the
    abacus by using a combination of one altobead and one or more hypobeads. For example:
Moving down an altobead and moving up one hypobead, number six is placed on the abacus (see fig 2).
Moving down an altobead and moving up 2 hypobeads, number 8 is placed on the abacus (see fig 3).
The same tactic applies for number 8 and 9.
