As a homeschool mom, I have learned that there are a thousand programs for every subject taught in school. Because of this, I have decided to get a curriculum and stick with it as long as possible. When I heard about Math Mammoth, I wanted to try it out. It contains math levels 1-7 in one easily downloaded bundle for one relatively low price! That's my kind of program. My kids also do not act like it is torture to do math with this program!
I was able to use homeschool buyers coop to get an even better deal than listed online. I then downloaded each set and was able to print them off and start using them immediately. We use them in page protectors so that they can be used with multiple kids using a wet erase marker.
It is relatively easy for the kids to work their way through the book on their own. I also plan to supplement with Math U See videos and other videos as necessary. I also loved math growing up so I am able to teach where needed.
Math Mammoth is great because it offers affordable, quality math texts and workbooks. They are available as both downloads and printed books, but I prefer the download as it arrives immediately! They encourage the students to use mental math and the directions are written to the student which basically makes them able to teach themselves. There are different series of books to choose from and they are color coded. We use the Light Blue Series which covers grades 1-7 and it also has lesson plans available. Their website also includes videos, free downloads and math assessment tests. It is a great website to check out if you are interested in math curriculum.
