    The document outlines 10 levels of an abacus math program, where each level introduces new math concepts and operations to be mastered. Levels focus on skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within increasing number ranges, as well as introduction of concepts like place value, times tables, mixed operations, and eventually percentages, decimals, fractions and roots. Higher levels emphasize performing complex multi-step calculations mentally or using an abacus.
