Main Features

Some main features of the Math Mammoth complete curriculum are:

  • mastery oriented: it concentrates fairly long on one topic, with fairly few topics per grade;
  • focuses on conceptual understanding;
  • uses lots of visual models and exercises based on those;
  • emphasizes mental math and developing number sense;
  • nearly self-teaching since the explanations of concepts are found in the student worktext. Thus this curriculum requires fairly little preparation time from the teacher.

*BONUS*: If you buy the above products in Kagi store (as downloads), you will also get Soft-Pak elementary math & language arts programs completely free.

Customer feedback/reviews

We are enjoying the program and it is definitely pushing the kids' minds. It seems to be a perfect mix of repetition and interest. You've done a great job!

I am a Canadian homeschooling mum of four living in Switzerland. My school age children are 11, 9 and 6. My preschooler is 2 1/2. I absolutely adore the complete curriculum series. I am currently using grades 1 and 4. My six year old flies through the pages asking if he can do just one more most days. I suspect that he will be on the grade 2 books by Easter at this rate. Prior the starting the grade one curriculum, he attended a Montessori school. His passion for numbers may be inborn for but this was not the case for his older brother or sister and they enjoy the work as well!

Last year I decided to homeschool our 10 year old son. He is bright outgoing and articulate but he had lost his spark for learning. As there was no complete curriculum available for 5th grade I used the fourth grade one and supplemented with the green and golden materials for 5th grade. Within a few weeks, he stopped groaning about math and began to genuinely look forward to the work. Words cannot express how pleased I am that he has found a love of numbers again. I found it very, VERY challenging to choose a program for him this year but settled on YourTeacher.com pre-algebra which I supplement with gold and green grade 6 materials.

Our 9 year old daughter has never found math easy or interesting but I hope to see that change as we embarked on a homeschooling journey with her this year as well. She is diligently working her way through the complete curriculum for fourth grade and when she finds that too daunting, I print something from the third grade books to refresh her memory. I don't expect her to look forward to her daily math lesson BUT she no longer dreads it and we are only 7 weeks into the year.

My communications with you have far exceeded my expectations. You answered my emails promptly when I was begging for a 5th grade curriculum in February 2008 and I am so pleased to see that it is now available. Well done!

There was a time when I lost all of my data because of a hard-drive malfunction and this meant that I no longer had access to the Math Mammoth materials. I was about to re-order when I thought that it might be worth asking if it might be possible to have them re-sent. They were in my inbox within hours.

We also own the clock and multiplication book which are being used by our 6 and nine year olds respectively. They are thorough and progress in a slow and steady manner that makes learning these tricky concepts easy.

I always look forward to reading your latest articles about teaching math. I do not have a true passion for numbers myself but I am thankful for the math teachers in my life who did. It is thanks to them that I never struggled with the concepts. From your articles, it is clear that you are one of those teachers and I am grateful to have stumbled upon your website.

Thank you so much for all that you do to instill a love of math in children!

Respectfully,
Denise
