Overview

"Math Mammoth Grade 1-A worktext (Canadian version) is the student book for the first half of grade 1 mathematics. It covers addition within 0-10, subtraction within 0-10, and place value with two-digit numbers. The worktext contains both the necessary instruction and the problems & exercises, and is fairly self-teaching. Please note this is a student worktext and does not contain answers. Features of the curriculum: Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the ""WHY"", so your children can understand the math, not just learn ""HOW"" to do it. Concepts are often explained with visual models, followed by exercises using those models. These visual models can take the place of manipulatives for many children; however, it 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 topic, delving into its various aspects. This promotes conceptual understanding, as 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 preparation, which 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 worktext, and there also exist accompanying videos where you can see Maria herself teach the material. After each chapter introduction, you will find a list of Internet links and resources (games, quizzes, animations, etc.) that can be used for fun, illustrations, and further practice. For addition and subtraction facts, you can use our online practice program (free). Visit the pages for Single-digit Addition Facts online practice and Fact Families online practice This Canadian version of the 1-A worktext is essentially the same as the U.S. version, but is customised for Canadian audiences in these aspects: The spelling conforms to British international standards (British English). Page (paper) size is Letter."

I just wanted to thank you for this excellent curriculum! I tried 3 different 1st grade curriculums for my daughter and none of them were working well for her. Math was just not clicking. I got the entire curriculum (to use for both her, my younger daughter and my numerous tutoring students). She started 1st grade on February 3rd and she will complete the entire 1st grade course (workbooks A & B) by April 25th! (An entire grade in under 12 weeks!) She finally understands the concepts, and now math is her favorite subject! The students I tutor are also benefitting from the curriculum and love how everything is explained. Math was never my favorite subject in school, and (like my daughter) I now LOVE it and am seeing math in an entirely new light! Thank you! Brianna Lewis Homeschool mom, Licensed Teacher and Tutor ------------------------------------ I just wanted to take a moment to express how grateful I am to have found Math Mammoth - it has been such an enormous help for both of my 1st graders. They enjoy it and have sailed through, but have also learned and retained so much. By far my favorite math curriculum - I suggest it to all of my homeschooling friends. Whitney ------------------------------------ Maria, I just have to tell you what a wonderful year we've had with Math Mammoth! We switched in November (at that time, you gave me some placement advice... thank you!), and since then, my daughter has become quite the lover of math! Now, thanks to you & Mathy (we had to get our own Mathy!), she even asks if we can do math first each day! It's clicking with her, and she is so proud when she's able to quickly answer a problem mentally. We love the lesson plans, and each day, she's excited to see if we have a video or game to go along with our lesson. I truly can't thank you enough. Math Mammoth has made such a difference in our homeschool. Sincerely, Libby Pritchett

Author Information

"Maria Miller was born and grew up in Finland where she also received a master's degree in mathematics in 1997. She loves math and teaching, so becoming a math teacher was a natural career for her.Miller started writing math books in 2002, prompted by her experiences in tutoring homeschooled children. She felt the books they were using were inferior, especially when it came to conceptual understanding of mathematics, so she began to write books that focus on the concepts and the ""why"" of mathematics, though not forgetting the ""how"" and the needful practice.Over the years, her materials have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers.In her free time, she likes walking, bicycling, swimming, reading, helping out with Inspire4.com, playing piano, and listening to music."
