Teaching Support
Are you wanting someone to help guide you through the RightStart Mathematics curriculum?
Debbie Oberste, Rachel Anderson, and Teresa Foltin will each provide an overview of a week’s worth of lessons. They will discuss what to expect during the week and give pointers and tips. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, click on your level, and hang out with us!

Pacing Schedules
We have added pacing schedules to the lesson books. These will help you stay on schedule as you go through the year with the RightStart program. Notice that the weeks are set up with four days. This allows for your personal weekly plans to fluctuate with the lessons and still stay on schedule.
Also, here are a wide variety of materials to learn more about the RightStart™ approach and method and to help understand the RightStart™ philosophy.
Here are more resources that you may find beneficial.
Corrections (Errata)
When we find errors or needed corrections, we post them here. When needed, we update monthly. To check if your book has a correction, do the following:
- Find your manual or worksheet’s print date. This is found at the bottom of the second page of your book directly under the ISBN number.
- Click on the appropriate button below and note the date at the top of the pdf. If the date of your book is newer than the pdf page, there are no corrections. If the date of the pdf is more recent than the print date, or the pdf date is updated since you last looked, there are corrections to be made.
- In each file, the Lesson corrections are first followed by the Worksheet and Appendix or Solutions corrections. If you are looking for a specific lesson or worksheet, all you need to do is look down the first column. If you are looking to see if ANY correction was made since your manual or worksheets were printed, search for any correction date past your print date. Any date listed that is prior to your book’s print date will be included in your book
If you find a new error in your manual or worksheet that is not listed, we want to know. Please email us so we can correct it.
RS2 Games List
Here’s a listing of the games played in the lessons.
Cotter Tens Fractal
Fractals are a new branch of mathematics that is only a few decades old. There are two types of fractals, random and regular. Scientists use random fractals for computer modeling in order to study some of nature’s irregular patterns and structures. Regular fractals, also called geometric fractals, consist of larger structures that are identical in shape to the smaller structure. The Cotter Tens Fractal is a regular fractal.
The Cotter Tens Fractal helps the child experience our place-value system concretely by representing how our number system is constructed with tens. It starts with ten small colored equilateral triangles arranged in the shape of a larger equilateral triangle. This is the Ten Triangle. Ten of these triangles arranged in the same pattern form the Hundred Triangle. And ten of the Hundred Triangles form the Cotter Tens Fractal.
Instructions to build the fractal are available as a free download. If you are looking for the RS2 Level B Lesson 57 download, it is right here.
We would love to see your completed work! If you’d like us to post your Cotter Tens Fractal here for others to admire, please send your photos to info@RightStartMath.com.
