“As an educational leader supporting the Tutor Learning Initiative (TLI), I introduced the Linear Abacus to our mathematics tutor groups to assist students requiring additional support. The results have been remarkable. The Linear Abacus proved to be an incredibly effective tool for developing foundational numeracy skills. Its hands-on approach made abstract concepts tangible, enabling students to build a deeper understanding of place value, operations, and number relationships. Our tutors noted significant growth in students’ mathematical confidence and competence. Gaps in understanding that once seemed insurmountable were filled as students engaged with the Linear Abacus in a structured and supportive learning environment. The visual and interactive nature of this tool empowered our students to take ownership of their learning, and the growth we witnessed was extraordinary. I highly recommend the Linear Abacus to educators seeking to enhance numeracy outcomes for students needing targeted interventions. This tool has been a game-changer in our TLI program, setting a strong foundation for future success in mathematics."
