RightStart Mathematics by Activities for Learning, Inc. RightStart Math gives children a solid understanding, mastery, and love for math! Place value is introduced early to solidify the children’s understanding.

RightStart™ Mathematics will help your child understand, apply and enjoy mathematics using games to learn concepts, strategies, and to practice math facts. This unique program uses visualization of quantities, de-emphasizes counting, and provides strategies (visual pictures) for learning the facts. The primary learning tool is the Cotter Abacus, a specially designed two-sided abacus that is kinesthetic and visual.

RightStart is a scripted curriculum, but what if the “script” isn’t clicking for your child? In our latest podcast episode, Allison and Rachel discuss when and how to go off-script. They also share easy ways to personalize a lesson, check for understanding, and break down word problems; and they share some of the resources RightStart offers to help with teaching.

🧮 The Cotter Abacus is more than "just" a counting tool! It's a hands-on way for students to subitize numbers, understand addition and subtraction strategies, learn place value, and much more. We even teach decimals and fractions using this amazing manipulative!

Thanks Nicole the Math Lady for the shoutout!
