RightStart Math was designed by a mathematician who studied how Japanese children learn math so effectively. The AL Abacus (a specially designed two-color abacus) is the central teaching tool. Games make up a significant portion of the curriculum — there are over 300 math card games included. This is a teacher-intensive program: the parent leads every lesson with a detailed script. It requires preparation time but produces excellent conceptual understanding. Families who commit to it consistently report strong math skills in their children.
