About RightStart™ Mathematics by Activities for Learning, Inc.
This unique hands-on program uses an abacus and card games for learning the facts.
The AL Abacus, a specially designed two-sided abacus that is both kinesthetic and visual. The AL Abacus is grouped in fives and tens for quick recognition of quantities, de-emphasizing counting. Children develop visual strategies as they use this manipulative. The second side of the AL Abacus teaches place value to the thousands. Understanding and problem solving are emphasized throughout the curriculum.
Practice is provided with math card games, minimizing review worksheets and eliminating stressful flash cards. These games provide interesting and varied repetition that is needed for the automatic responses to the facts. More importantly, these games provide an application for new information and create hours of fun learning math facts and concepts.
