Typically, teachers can use just about any book I offer. After looking into the various Math Mammoth and Make It Real Learning books, you might be interested in purchasing a discounted bundle.
Your first consideration in choosing should be:
The various series of books are distinguished by their color:
|
Worktexts with both explanations and problems.
Each book is on a particular topic, such as clock, multiplication, or geometry.
Cover topics in grades 1-7.
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 1-6.
Mastery-oriented.
Emphasizes conceptual development in a logical sequence.
Practically self-teaching - only a little teacher involvement needed
Grades 1-5 aligned to the Common Core as of April 2013
Math Mammoth Light Blue books constitute a complete mathematics curriculum for grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. 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
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. |
|
for grades 3-12.
In-depth activities taken from real-life, with real data
Make It Real Learning products are workbooks that contain activities or problem situations taken from real-life, with real data. Some examples of the situations are: cell phone plans, autism, population growth, cooking, borrowing money, credit cards, life spans, music downloads, etc. etc. Each activity-lesson starts with basics and goes into more in-depth and challenging evaluations and questions. |
The video gives more details about the different series of Math Mammoth books.
Licensing for schools, tutoring centers, etc. is available.
By purchasing any of the books, I grant permission for ONE person (TEACHER) to reproduce this material to be used with his/her students in a teaching situation; not for commercial resale. NOTE: you are NOT permitted to share the material with another teacher.
In other words, ONE TEACHER is permitted to make unlimited copies for HIS/HER students, but not for other teachers' students or usage.
This permission is quite liberal, I feel. It allows you (as the teacher) to use these materials year in, year out, with just one single purchase.
If you have 2 or more teachers that would use Math Mammoth books, please read about school licensing here.
Ms. Pineda used the area and perimeter lessons from my early geometry book with her 3rd grade bilingual classroom. Read her experience & lesson plans.
Megan in Belgium used some lessons from Math Mammoth Geometry 1 book in her 5th grade classroom. Read her experience.
