Hi! Maria Miller here! On this page you can, first of all, download a FREE copy of Math Mammoth Measuring 1, and further down the page, sign up to my newsletter and receive TWO more free books! 😀

Math Mammoth Measuring 1 is a worktext that covers measuring length, weight, and volume for grades 1-3. The book contains both the teaching and the exercises, is easy to teach from, and requires very little teacher preparation.

The lessons emphasize hands-on exercises where the student actually measures things.

Focus on concepts

The lessons in Math Mammoth break apart mathematical concepts and explain the "why" of math.

Students will gain a solid conceptual understanding of math — not build a "house of cards" that crumbles in high school.

Focus on number sense

Mental math strategies are taught and practiced explicitly.

Gaining a good number sense in the elementary gardes is paramount — it predicts a student's success in algebra!

Problem solving

Word problems are taught explicitly, and are present in most lessons, so children get very familiar with them. Math Mammoth users are not afraid of word problems!

The operations used in the problems vary so that children learn to think, and not simply apply the operation that is in the title of the lesson.

The below example shows a lesson where children learn to think of multiplication for word problems that ask for how many in each group or how many groups there are. Mixed in is also one problem that asks for the total — different from the examples shown. (Plus, the lesson continues on the next page with more problems; not shown here.)

I am utterly thrilled with your resources. They are exactly what I need for my middle school students who have greatly lagging skills. The resources are systematically organized into specific skills to facilitate individualizing student programs, and the lessons are very clearly explained. You focus on what is truly important in a straightforward manner that is readily understandable by students. As well, the resources are not presented in a juvenile manner and are thus usable and approachable to students whose skills are well below grade level. Your resources are the first I have seen to meet all these criteria! I will be using this resource daily going forth from now.

Kind regards,
Gayla

All the instruction in the worktexts is written directly to the student.

Thus, many children can teach themselves (self-teaching curriculum).

Videos

There is a vast library of math videos where the author herself teaches your student.

I am so glad I found Math Mammoth. I chose the Blue Series, which is organized by concept instead of grade level. Being able to easily find and focus in on specific concepts when my children are ready for them, without feeling constrained by grade level, is important to me. Math Mammoth Blue Series provides this flexibility.

I find the way Math Mammoth teaches each concept to be easily accessible. There is enough visual support for my visual learner without the use of wild or distracting graphics such as I've seen in some other programs. The balance of new teaching and review practice seems right on. Math Mammoth Blue Series has made me better able to successfully teach math to my children, and in the process improves my own mathematical thinking. I'm simply thrilled with this program.

Thank you so very much for your program. My almost 12-year-old daughter was not happy with math and although she is a whiz at memorizing facts, formulas, and algorithms, she had very little understanding of anything from basic place value to when-to-use-what-operation. I tried several different curriculums and none worked until we found Math Mammoth. I started her on the topic books versus grade level so she wouldn't feel badly doing "4th grade work", but after 6 months, she is happily and accurately speeding through the percents, Fractions/Decimals 3, and Ratios and Proportions books. I love that she now understands math, and what's more, that she loves it!

Thank you so much!

Features

Math Mammoth materials are mastery-oriented. Each book in the Blue Series concentrates on one theme and its connecting topics (such as place value, multiplication, or geometry).
The materials focus on conceptual understanding.
Visual models and exercises are used a lot.
Mental math and number sense are emphasized.
These books are nearly self-teaching for many children, since the full explanations of concepts are included.
The books are available both in print and digital formats.

P.S. Math Mammoth also offers an affordable, complete math curriculum for grades 1-8 — available BOTH in print and digital formats.
