Lesson 3 of 8

Toward adds, away takes away

A bead counts only when it touches the beam.

Moving a bead toward the beam adds. Moving it away from the beam takes away.

Beads touching the beam are active; beads away from the beam are inactive
Touching the beam: counted. Away from the beam: not counted.

Try it

Watch the green + and the red − as you move the beads. Make 4.
