rookie Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Truly, I thought my dd would never get math. We have tried many, many approaches and a lightbulb was not going off. I started her with MM this year (week 5 now) and she is understanding for the first time ever. I pray this does not change as we get into the higher levels. But, at the least, she is feeling more confident and definitely gets more math than she did before MM. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagira Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Woohoo! Happy for you! We really like Math Mammoth here too. I feel that we have found our fit. We spent half an hour today playing with the abacus and counting tens and ones. Ds enjoyed that, which is always nice, as he doesn't like math (it takes effort).

Corraleno Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It was a miracle for DS, too. He was so far behind in math in PS and was convinced he was stupid and would never ever get it, and after a year of MM he was totally caught up and totally getting it. I think Maria Miller is a genius. :thumbup: Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat in MI Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We have just started with Math Mammoth and I like what I see. I think I am really going to like this math for my dd. I wish I had this for my ds when he was in elementary. Blessings, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamamaloca Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We <3 Math Mammoth here, too. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbrandonsmom Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I like it-we just started SM though and like that too. Since it only has 2 pages for the lesson, I've been using the MM samples that correlate as extra practice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama2Many4 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We just started Math Mammoth too and we're loving it here. I've been through MCP math, Saxon, Horizons, Singapore and Total math and MM is the only one that he's thriving with. I'm so glad it's going well for you!

Hedgehogs4 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 we like it...it is really pushing my ds, who is very good in math, but was getting lazy and bored with our other curriculum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofredheads Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 May I ask what you like about it? We have some math struggles here as well and I'm wondering if it might work for us. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamakori Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We're big Math Mammoth fans here, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in VA Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I am so happy for you!! We recently had a math miracle with Singapore. My youngest dd never got it either and cried every time we did math so I know how it feels to have that lightbulb go on. YIPPPEE!!!

Corraleno Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 May I ask what you like about it? We have some math struggles here as well and I'm wondering if it might work for us. Thanks! 1. It provides very clear, explicit conceptual explanations (i.e. teaches the why as well as the how), with each concept broken down into small increments, and walks the student through it step-by-step. 2. It was designed specifically for homeschoolers by a mathematician/certified math teacher. 3. The all-in-one format is extremely easy to use — no separate textbook, workbook, teacher's guide, extra drill books, etc. 4. It's written directly to the student. 5. There are lots of practice problems, including good, solid, multi-step word problems, which really challenge kids and make them think. 6. It has built-in review, and includes cumulative reviews and tests. 7. It's inexpensive and reusable with multiple kids.
