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. Place value is introduced early to solidify the children’s understanding. The primary learning tool is the Cotter Abacus, a specially designed two-sided abacus that is kinesthetic and visual.
