I learned with an Abacus. I shit you not....it was in these "Project Climb" classes that they took a few of us out of elementary school on certain days to another campus. We got to do a lot of things that were not in the general curriculum in our traditional classes.
We also learned "Left to Right math" where after some work, you could do a lot of stuff mentally very quickly....although I have forgotten the concepts now.
