Math Mammoth Grades 1-4 Bundle

This bundle includes grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 from the Math Mammoth curriculum.

Each grade level consists of two student worktexts (A and B; written directly to the student), answer keys, chapter tests, end-of-year test, additional cumulative reviews, and a versatile worksheet maker (Internet access required).

Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the "WHY", so 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 you wish.

Math Mammoth curriculum is mastery-oriented. This means it concentrates at length 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.

The curriculum requires very little teacher preparation. It 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 for the student in the worktext, and there are also links to videos so you can view Maria teaching 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.

BONUS! You will also get Soft-Pak programs completely FREE. The 6 programs in the Soft-Pak (4 math, 1 language arts, 1 list maker) offer both on-screen and printable activities in a low-graphic, high content format.

The PDF files in this product can be filled in using a computer or a tablet (distance learning).

The student will need to use either Adobe Reader (on desktop/laptop) or a PDF app that has annotation tools (phones or tablets). Several PDF apps with annotation capabilities exist; see more details here.

--------------------------------------------

It is recommended that you not share the entire student worktext PDF files with students. Instead, it is better to just give the students a few pages at a time. Here is a simple method for extracting a few pages from a PDF file. It is done using Google Chrome.

1. Open the PDF file in Chrome.
2. Go to "Print" (Ctrl+P).
3. Print to PDF, and choose the page range.
4. Click the "Save" button.
