Math programs that don't teach the algorithms early?

Right Start

Yep. We're almost halfway through RightStart B and the final preparation step for the standard addition algorithm is still a few lessons ahead. We're using base 10 block pictures and the back side of the abacus (labelled with place value) to add numbers in the thousands. A few lessons from now (about 75 of 140) it adds in marking your abacus bead trades on paper in addition to physically moving them on the abacus. I haven't looked ahead to see when the abacus is phased out in favor of the standard algorithm alone.
