RightStart Mathematics is a program that emphasizes understanding and problem-solving. It uses the AL abacus to help children visualize concepts and memorize facts. The program provides daily lessons, games for practice, and detailed instructions for both classroom and homeschool settings. The AL abacus is grouped in fives and tens to help children visualize quantities and operations. Value naming of tens and ones is used to refer to numbers. The part-part-whole model is used to integrate addition and subtraction and solve problems. Geometry is introduced in Levels A-B and continued with drawing boards in Levels C-E.
In Level B, children learn addition facts and adding numbers in the thousands. They learn addition facts with strategies and how to add 4-digit numbers. Subtraction is delayed until addition is thoroughly understood. Geometry, money, unit fractions, and other math-related topics are also introduced. The starter kit includes the lesson book, worksheets, and 10 essential manipulatives for Level B. These manipulatives include the AL abacus, place value cards, base ten picture cards, abacus tiles, math game cards, geoboards, color cubes, colored tiles, geared clock, math balance, tally sticks, geometry reflector, and a yellow is the sun CD.
