We introduced Right Start Math into our school six years ago after all our teachers attended a workshop Dr. Cotter was doing in Orlando. In retrospect, we should probably have transitioned with only the primary grades and worked our way up, but we didn’t. We began with K5 through sixth grades. The parents of older children took awhile to come on board, if they did at all.

Presently, we are thriving in the program–K4 through sixth grade. Our teachers are comfortable with the materials. New students coming in even at fifth/sixth grade are acclimating. The fact that we have combined classrooms is a bonus for these new students.

It has been very helpful to have Kathleen Lawler, Dr. Cotter’s daughter, on campus several times. She has observed in the classrooms and interacted personally with our teachers. We still have much to learn.

Motivated by the reasoning skills and mathematical thinking we see in the students, the teachers look forward to gaining even more proficiency.

She also can do her multiplications. The most amazing thing is that when she is somewhere and has to spend her money she is quick to tell them how much change she needs back. I have seen a lot of teenagers and adults who cannot do thi… Read more

My daughter is in 4th grade this year. Math has always been a struggle for her, as it was for her father. I discovered that she has dyslexia (which is hereditary). I didn’t realize that had any effect on math, but I found out that people with dyslexia cannot learn with rote memorization or sequential skills. This makes it harder for them to remember math facts or how to do algorithms. Before I kne… Read more
