    Nice math tool! Seems to sturdy and well build considering it has been drop a few times and still looks nice and functions well. :) Wish I has considered using an abacus years ago for math.

    It works well. I don’t have a lot to say, it’s an abacus.

    Math without tears

    AL Abacus is a game changer hands down!! It was a challenge for my 8 year old to count on using traditional forms of counting, however with the AL Abacus she can see the answer right there! It's her favorite math tool thus far.

    This abacus is golden! I can see my daughter understanding math and how to do it. She loves her abacus and not only uses it for school, but uses it in play non-stop. My brother has decided to buy one because he loves how she has been taught. My grandmother was taught mathematics by abacus and we still have her original abacus from the 1930s from Japan.

    Great even if you aren't using RightStart Math!

    We have been using Singapore Math since second grade with my daughter, but she is a right-brained, artistic child and was struggling with grasping math concepts. She had developed a mental block that wouldn't allow her to learn. One day I stumbled upon a review of RightStart and found the virtual abacus. I experimented with it (math was my favorite subject, so I totally grasped the logic of it), and then I showed it to my daughter. She was just finishing 2nd grade at the time. I asked if she would like it, and she said yes. So I bought it. Let's just say it revolutionized math! She started to get things quicker. Her mental math capabilities soared. When it came time to teach addition with carrying and subtraction with borrowing, it took about 3 problems to grasp it, and there were no tears. We have continued to use Singapore, and she is doing well, and doesn't always need the abacus now, half way through third grade (Level 2), but if she needs it, she does use it. Right now she wants to work without the abacus, and she is mentally manipulating numbers, much as I remember doing (remember, I loved math as a kid, so no one had to teach me the mental manipulation stuff--I figured it out for myself without an abacus--in fact, I never used one until I started homeschooling!). Right now I am considering using RightStart for my Kindergarten-age son. He's too wiggly to enjoy sit-down stuff, and I really like having lessons planned out for me!
