Annie Laurie Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Does the level B starter kit have everything I need? I'll be doing this with two students, do I need to purchase extra student worksheets? Anything else I need? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiegirl Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 You will need to buy another set of worksheets. You might want to buy another abacus. Things have changed since I first bought RS but I am pretty sure everything else you will need will be in the starter kit. If I am wrong on this, I am sure someone will correct me. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks Julia, I added the abacus. From what I have been reading on their Yahoo group, the level B kit doesn't come with the math card games and I need to buy that separately? Do I need to get the extra appendices for level A and B?

nmoira Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Not clear how many abacuses you are talking about, but I found it handy to have one myself. I'd be inclined to get three altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie in tx Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 If you think that you will be using Rightstart for the entire time, then I would purchase the CD instead of the worksheets. It will save you much in copying and it will be nice to have the worksheets for any other children you will be teaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiegirl Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'm not sure what is included in the B starter kit. When I bought my manipulative kit, I bought the whole kit'n'caboodle all at one time. You referred to 'math card games,' if you mean the math cards then, yes, you need to buy that if it isn't included in the starter kit. If you mean the card game book, you don't really need that until Level C. When I first used RS they didn't have the CD's, plus my kids are all two years apart so it isn't a big deal for me to buy the worksheets but if you are teaching two at the same time, it might be worth your while to buy the CD's. I'm not sure how much they cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 You need an extra abacus and extra worksheets! Or instead of extra worksheets, you may want to purchase the CD which has all of the worksheets and the appendix sheets, from what I remember (I worked the RS booth at our convention this year). The math games book is handy, but not necessary until level C. You will need the math cards though, I believe (I might be wrong, but I seem to remember using some of the cards in level B). I currently don't have a child in level B, so my memory might be fuzzy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
