Teresa in MO Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I am trying to figure out if these two programs are very similar. They seem to both teach mental math. Has anyone used or seen both programs and can compare them? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I use Singapore Math and I have gone through my friend's CD of Math Mammoth to see if I wanted that too. Singapore: colorful very visual easy to teach moves quickly with each skill building on what has gone before mastery based Math Mammoth: no colors small pictures moves even more quickly through skills/subjects no review each skill/subject has its own workbook Hope this helps.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyTN Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 each skill/subject has its own workbook But they also have grade level workbooks. My daughter has used both and she LOVES Math Mammoth. She did not like Singapore at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teresa in MO Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Audrey, do you use Math Mammoth by itself or along side another program. I am considering using it with Horizons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyTN Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Audrey, do you use Math Mammoth by itself or along side another program. I am considering using it with Horizons. We were using BJU3 and my poor dd just didn't get it. I bought all of the "extra" books and everything! So I purchased a few Math Mammoth "subjects" and she used them as supplements. NOW... I'm getting ready to switch her to Saxon 3... midyear... so I'm having her do the MM workbooks that would catch her up. (Multiplication and Fractions.) My son used Horizons and *in my opinion* I think it would be too much to do them together. Horizons already as lots and lots of problems per page.
