What are the dimensions of this product?

Hello,According to our supplier it is 12" L x 11.90 "W. Thanks!

Does this come with instructions?

I don't believe it does. I bought it for my grandson at a younger age when he enjoyed moving the pieces. I'm not sure how he's playing with it now.

does thus come with instructions

I think there were very basic instructions on the box itself. We have gotten a lot of information on the many mathematical uses from various youtube videos.

Could this be used for older kids to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?

An abacus is typically used for addition and subtraction but it can be used for multiplication and division. There are You Tube videos that show you how.
