Math Mammoth International version

Math Mammoth International version (Light Blue series) constitutes a full elementary mathematics curriculum for grades 1-7.

This curriculum has proven effective, and can be used in homeschool, in schools, or in tutoring. It is also very affordable as compared to many other curricula.

Each grade level in the curriculum consists of two student worktexts (A and B), and supportive materials, which include answer keys, tests, additional mixed revisions, and a versatile worksheet maker (Internet access required).

Math Mammoth International Version is essentially the same as the US version of Math Mammoth, only customised for the international audience in these aspects:

• The currency used in the money chapters in grades 1-3 is the Australian dollar. (The download versions for these grades include the chapter on money also for US, British, European, South African, Canadian, and New Zealand currencies.)
• The curriculum teaches the metric measurement units. Imperial units, such as inches and pounds, are not used.
• The spelling conforms to British international standards (British English).
• Page (paper) size is A4.
• Large numbers are formatted with a space as the thousands separator (such as 12 394). (The decimals are formatted with a decimal point, like in the US version.)

Please note that the curriculum is simply a copy of the US version of Math Mammoth Light Blue series, which is aligned to the US Common Core Standards. Therefore, the curriculum may not meet all the standards in your country, or may cover topics in a different grade or year than what your standards specify.

Please follow the links below to read description of each grade level, see the samples, the table of contents, and find specific purchasing information.

Grade 1 (International version)
Grade 2 (International version)
Grade 3 (International version)
Grade 4 (International version)
Grade 5 (International version)
Grade 6 (International version)
Grade 7 (International version)

You can use the placement tests for the US version, with this difference: please ignore the problems dealing with customary measuring units.

The download versions are available at this website (see the "Add to cart" buttons) at the price of 37.50 USD per grade.

Main Features

Some main features of the Math Mammoth complete curriculum are:

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

The PDF files are enabled for annotating. This means that the student can actually complete the PDF file on the computer, using the typewriter and drawing tools available in Acrobat Reader version 9 or higher, or on a tablet device such as an iPad, using a PDF app that has annotating tools.

*BONUS*: You will also get Soft-Pak elementary maths & language arts programs completely free.

Please see the FAQ for the US version — virtually all of it also applies to the International Version. The exception is: at the moment, I do not offer printed versions or CDs for the International version, only downloads.
