My name is Anne and I am addicted to math programs. :D

 

 

In order to make room for more books, I decided to get rid of the math programs we are no longer using. I'm a little embarrassed by the huge stack sitting on my kitchen table right now. :O

 

I have:

Math Mammoth 4-6

Miquon, all of it

MUS beta thru zeta

Strayer Upton book 1

Singapore 1&2, 16 books in all

MEP year 1

Franklin Primary Arithmetic

Gattengo book 1 plus PDL cards/worksheets

 

This doesn't include what we are using right now (CLE, Beast Academy, Right Start).

That's me too! I own pieces of, or possibly complete series of the following:

 

Miquon

MEP

Math Mammoth

Saxon

CLE

Teaching Textbooks

Beast Academy

Redbird

Kitchen Table Math

Gattegno

 

And my oldest is in 3rd grade.

 

To be fair, half of those were to try to help dd9 find a groove. Most others were supplements. Dd7 and dd5 use Miquon with Beast Academy. Except Dd7 finished Miquon and now I'm trying to figure out what to use with Beast Academy. So I will probably try a few more things there. I don't regret it. 😊

Ha ha; my name is trulycrabby, and I buy math curriculum even though ds14 hasn't homeschooling in two years. :)

 

This year I've bought about five Dolciani algebra books (his wonderful school uses Dolciani Algebra textbooks); several geometry texts, several books on Euclid and Euclidian geometry, Art of Problem Soving Geometry, Art of Problem Solving Probability, and a linear algebra textbook.

 

Don't even get me started on the physics and chemistry texts...

I will join! I love to just look through math curriculums even if we aren't using them. It is a problem. Right now on my shelf...

 

Rightstart A-E plus math games

MUS alpha - epsilon

BJU math 2 and 3

Singapore 1A-5A with challenging word problems and intensive practice

BA 2A, 3A-3D

Saxon 2, 3, 5/4, 7/6, Algebra 1

Chalkdust from pre-algebra through calculus

Horizon 1 and 2

Tons of Montessori math manipulatives

Abeka math 1

 

In my defense I pick alot of it up from CL or OU. I lend them out or give them away to people who need them. I had more than this but recently gifted some to families that were looking to try out some stuff.

 

I just love math so much!

I went to our school library today and now I no longer own Math Mammoth, Miquon, MUS or Singapore (a few random workbooks don't count right? Lol).

 

However I now have Jacobs algebra, Chalkdust Algebra, and Right Start 2nd edition A and C-E. LOL 😂

 

I don't count Life of Fred because we get it from the library...

This makes me feel better!  We have:

 

Christian Light

Rightstart

Mathusee

Jacob's Algebra & Geometry

Strayer-Upton

Rays

Hands-On Equations

Saxon (K only)

and various other math resources...

I recently had (and sold) multiple levels of Singapore

 

I'm hoping we stick with CLE (& Jacobs for upper math), but I'm a bit hesitant to sell the others at this point.  :blushing:

My kids are in college and I bought several life of Fred's last year. I think I have them all now except the beginning ones. Eventually I would like those. I've also been considering BA just because I never got to use it. ;)

It's mostly math that I have this issue with. I have:

 

MEP (I've used all or part of reception, year 1, and year 2)

Miquon (orange)

Family Math

Kitchen Table Math

MM (all levels)

MOTL

MLLE (level 1)

BA (just missing 2B-2D)

Life of Fred Fractions

Some Montessori elementary math albums

Hand on Equations (along with the verbal problems book)

Scholastic Algebra Readiness made easy (levels 1+2)

Scholastic Jumbo Math Practice (grade 1+2 combined book)

Mortensen (level 1 TM and various student books)

Borac Competitive Math (volumes 1-4)

RS Math games

AoPS Pre-Algebra

AoPS Algebra

Jacobs Algebra

Jacobs Geometry

 

This doesn't count the math books I owned prior to getting married (I think I own 3 or 4 calculus books).

 

And I still have urges to buy RS A+B (despite the fact that my youngest is halfway through MM1), Jacobs' Mathematics: A Human Endeavor, and the rest of BA 2

My peeps, you will understand my excitement, this should be delivered today.

 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PG9590G

 

Brand name "Math for Love"

We did the Kickstarter for this back in the day. Love it. Their hundreds chart is beautiful and I'm currently working on printing it as a poster for our homeschool room. You can get a pdf of it and the game from their website. Edited by Meagan S

I'd salivated over the Kickstarter.  But, we were very pitched for money then and DD is only 7-years-old now, so it would have been awhile before she could play it.

Awhile back there was a 'Curriculum Addicts' thread that I came to after there are many posts.  People were bemoaning all the curriculum they had.   I remember feeling that I was invited to what I thought was a BYOB, and was really an AA meeting.  

Nice to see that this is a BYOM(ath).  This group is unapologetic.  I like that.

I'm going to have to tell my daughter that I'm obviously not as bad as she thinks I am because my list is only 3/4 as long as some of these. She told the college math professor she was meeting with on a college visit this week that I have a bit of a math book fascination (addiction *cough*).

 

Abeka (tossing as ds#2 finishes them)

CLE (only 400-level)

Beast Academy

Life of Fred Fractions

McRuffy (only K + extras)

Key to...

Horizons

Make Math meaningful

Miquon (Only first couple levels)

Crossing the River With Dogs

Singapore (only 1A & 1B)

Zaccoro Challenge + Real world Algebra

2 algebra, 2 geometry, and 3 pre-calc books, only 1 alg 2 text so far and only 1 calc book (from my high school years) so far.

 

:)

 

Edited to add: Russian Math and various extras like Geometry Adventures.

No good math collection is complete without Beast Academy IMHO.  :lol:

I just got AoPS Intro to Algebra last week. To be fair, we just finished their Prealgebra book, so I didn't need to feel guilty. But I do have a lot of other math books on my shelf and I'm too ashamed to list all of them. I admit, I have a problem. But I really really like math...

 

On the other hand, I have a lot of history books on my shelf too. And for the opposite reason. I hate history and I'm still looking for a book I actually like. The search goes on.
