Have a great day and remember to play a math card game!
Allow her to use the Alabacus until she doesn't need it anymore. It takes some children longer to grasp the concept without the use of the abacus and that is OK.
It's just like us using a recipe card. After many times of making the item we will not need to use the recipe card. But until then is it wrong to use the recipe card to make sure we got the ingredients correct?
No difference than needing the Alabacus to help her. One day I can promise she will no longer need it...but let HER be the one to tell you when that time comes.
