Visual Addition & Subtraction
Author : Robert Marashlian

The Armathco series was written by Robert Marashlian, an experienced and retired Public School math teacher with 22 years of classroom experience. The Armathco series upgrades math education 2 years by the end of the sixth grade. It also teaches first graders the addition and subtraction facts of signed numbers which is the proper and correct way to teach addition and subtraction of numbers. Today in our schools we are teaching students from the first to the sixth grades to add and subtract absolute (unsigned numbers) numbers. This will create a big problem when the students get promoted to the 7th grade.

The Armathco series has lessons that make it easy to teach and learn all the basic skills that are prerequisite to studying Algebra 1. The Armathco series is recommended for use by the "Home Schoolers". The lessons are both easy to teach and easy to learn.



The Armathco program teaches the students all the addition and subtraction facts of signed numbers. It introduces and teaches the positive and negative concepts of numbers. This is done in a very unique and powerful way. The polarity (positive and negative) of numbers is demonstrated by both color and direction.
Positive numbers are represented by Green arrows pointing to the right, negative numbers are represent by Red arrows pointing to the left. Now the students can associate the polarity of numbers by color and direction.

Example:
-5-2 = -7



Example:
+5+2 = +7



Example:
+5-2 = 3



Example:
-5+2 =3


Our Goal:
Armathco's goal is to upgrade math education in the primary grades. This is done by teaching first graders the positive and negative concepts of numbers on the number line. Armathco does this by using green arrows pointing to the right to represent positive numbers and red arrows pointing to the left to represent negative numbers.

This way the student can associate the polarity of numbers with both color and direction. Book 1 is all on computer software. Books 2 through 6 consist of well written lessons accompanied by easy to do practice problems which will enforce the students' confidence in solving problems.
