Features of the curriculum:
Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the „WHY“so your children can understand the mathnot just learn „HOW“ to do it.
Concepts are often explained with visual modelsfollowed by exercises using those models. These visual models can take the place of manipulatives for many children; howeverit is very easy to add corresponding manipulatives to the lessons if so desired.
The curriculum is mastery-oriented. This means it concentrates fairly long on a topicdelving into its various aspects. This promotes conceptual understandingas opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.
There is a strong emphasis on mental math and number sense.
It requires very little teacher preparationwhich is a big benefit to most teachers/parents. 🙂
The curriculum has no separate teacher’s manual nor is it scripted. The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter. All the instruction is written directly to the student in the worktextand there also exist accompanying videos where you can see Maria herself teach the material.
After each chapter introductionyou will find a list of Internet links and resources (gamesquizzesanimationsetc.) that can be used for funillustrationsand further practice.
For addition and subtraction factsyou can use our online practice program (free). Visit the pages for Single-digit Addition Facts online practice and Fact Families online practice
