Math Mammoth workbooks and worktexts are fully reproducible and are for grades1-12. Maria Miller the author of these books says:
"My aim is to help parents and teachers teach math so our children and students can really understand what is going on. I've strived to explain the concepts so that both the teacher and the student can "get it" by reading the explanations in the books. In essence, the books become practically self-teaching."
There are four different series of Math Mammoth books. The options include a full curriculum, The Light Blue Series. Worktexts by topic, The Blue Series. Worksheet collections either by topic The Green Series or by grade, The Golden Series and Make It Real Learning workbooks.
Worktexts with both explanations and problems. Each book is on a particular topic, such as clock, multiplication, or geometry. Cover topics in grades 1-5.
The Blue Series books contain explanations of the topics and are like a textbook & workbook in the same book. They can thus be used for many situations: for initial teaching, remedial teaching, or for review.
Each book in the Blue Series concentrates on a few topics only, such as addition & subtraction, multiplication, clock, fractions, division, geometry, etc.
> Covers grades 1-5. Mastery-oriented. Emphasizes conceptual development in a logical sequence. Practically self-teaching - only a little teacher involvement needed
Math Mammoth Light Blue books constitute a complete mathematics curriculum for grades 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Just like the Blue books, they contain explanations of the topics and are like a textbook & workbook in the same book.
The Light Blue series covers all topics for a given grade level. Each grade level includes two parts of a worktext (A and B), tests, cumulative reviews, answer keys, and a worksheet maker.
> For grades 3-8, organized by grade. Contain problems only
The Golden Series books are worksheet collections by grade-level (from grade 3 through Algebra 1), and provide variable problems in a convenient one-topic per sheet format.
The Golden Series books do not teach the topics, and thus suit best teachers or tutors. They are great for classwork or homework, for general review, reinforcement, or practice material.
For grades 3-7, organized by topic. Contain problems only
We Received the Light Blue Series grades 1-5. Each grade level comes with two worktexts A and B.These are worksheet collections by topic, and provide very variable problems in a convenient one-topic per sheet format.
The Green Series books do not teach the topics, and thus suit best teachers or tutors. They are great for classwork or homework, for general review, reinforcement, or practice material.
Math Mammoth does not bombard the student with multiple topics at the same time. In fact, the Light Blue Series 1st grade curriculum only covers a handful of topics: addition, subtraction, place value (tens and ones), time, counting coins, shapes and measurement. The emphasis is on mastery, developing a strong foundation, one topic at a time, and yet showing how topics are connected. Even in the beginning stages of addition, the background is being laid for subtraction by having the student supply the missing addend, for example, or splitting a number of balls into groups.
We have struggled here with finding a math program that works for my children and one we can afford! This program has been a God send!!! First The children have been saying: " Mom I understand it!"....."Mom, I really CAN do this!" I am really excited about this program and so are my children. We have set aside 30-45 minutes a day for math at first the children were cautious and wanted me to go over everything with them, but by week 2 I noticed my daughter and son, the ones who were the most cautious about making sure that I explain it were already doing their math BEFORE school even started! The children are steadily moving through this program and are now much more confident than ever about doing math.
I desperately needed something that is systematic and EASY for me to teach. The Math Mammoth Light Blue series sure seems to fit the bill.
If you think Math Mammoth might be for you, I highly recommend signing up for Math Teaching Emails or Math Mammoth Tour. You’ll receive a download of 280 sample worksheets, and a series of emails, so you can try it out firsthand.
