Math Mammoth - TOS Review

Photobucket

What is Math Mammoth?

"Math Mammothoffers affordable, yet quality math worktexts and workbooks for grades 1-8, available as both downloads and printed books. These books concentrate on conceptual understanding and are strong in mental math. The directions in the worktexts are written directly to the student, and are often self-teaching, thus requiring little preparation and involvement from the teacher."

Math is one subject for which somehow you never stop acquiring material for. So, when I was offered to review this Math program I was quite exited. I was happy with what we are using right now but the more the better.

I had come across Math Mammoth before and was very curious about it. Once I had it on my computer (I got the full 3rdgrade program on download), I was very happily surprised with the content.

Math Mammoth, put out by Maria Russell, is full of different math programs for different needs. You can get:

What is really nice about Math Mammoth is that Maria is very personable. She is ready and willing to help anyone deciding which program will be best suited for your family or child.

Math Mammoth is a mastery based program but somehow it does not feel repetitive. I think Maria does a great job in helping the child master a concept without bombarding him with repetitive exercises. The concept is explained in different ways throughout the chapter and sufficient exercises are given to understand the concept and master it.

The way I used the program was that I would print out the pages and teach it to the boys together using a whiteboard. I would explain the concept the way she did and then give them the exercises as a challenge. The boys enjoyed the challenges. This was the first time I ever heard my 7 year old say he enjoyed Math.

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
