  Ep:55-All Things Abacus

  Jul 16, 20261h 38m

  The session covered core Abacus concepts including cognitive dissonance in addition/subtraction, distributive property in multiplication (54×18), and division. A student (Abram) joined and worked through repeated subtraction of 4, revealing he could apply formulas rhythmically but could not articulate the two distinct minus-4 formulas when prompted directly. Lynette identified this as a conceptual gap and recommended targeted practice materials.

  Ep:54-All Things Abacus

  Jul 9, 20261h 26m

  Lynette shared her near-complete Plus Nines multiplication/division book, which simultaneously introduces both operations using fact families. The group practiced multi-digit abacus multiplication (564 × 43) and discussed how the abacus method compares to mainstream paper algorithms. Key pedagogical principles — individual number mastery, simultaneous multiplication/division, and avoiding paper as a crutch — were reinforced.

  Ep:53-All Things Abacus

  Jul 2, 20261h 8m

  The session focused on working through a 562×48 multiplication problem on the abacus, followed by a live walkthrough of 999×999. Lynette shared a nearly complete 9x table workbook prototype with Alisa and provided strategies for correcting Abram's abacus errors. A community posting issue was also diagnosed and resolved during the call.

  Ep:52-All Things Abacus

  Jun 25, 20261h 3m

  The session centered on critiques of modern math curriculum strategies, with strong consensus that foundational understanding must precede shortcuts or abstract concepts. Participants debated a negative-number subtraction method being introduced to 2nd–3rd graders, agreed it was inappropriate for that age, and reaffirmed the abacus approach of complements and regrouping as superior. Broader concerns about curriculum inconsistency, teaching to standardized tests, and student promotion without mastery were also discussed.

  Ep:51-All Things Abacus

  Jun 18, 20261h 29m

  Lynette analyzed a multi-concept math problem from Alisa's curriculum (Beast Academy) and determined it introduced too many concepts simultaneously — repeated addition, multiplication, rounding, and distributive property — making it overwhelming for Abram. The session focused on breaking the problem into explicit, sequential steps and identifying that Abram is not yet ready for multiplication until foundational formulas and repeated addition are solidly mastered. Lynette will provide a 9-times-table worksheet and recommends slowing down to one concept at a time.
