Great reviews! We switched to Math Mammoth and it has been a game changer for us! Truly an underrated program. It's simple to use, open and go, but the math itself is extensive and very thorough! Their video lessons are very helpful too if I ever need them
As a middle school math coach and mentor, I emphasize mental math and daily mental math practice routines with my students, whom I teach individually through zoom sessions. I believe that there are ways to progressively strengthen the mental visualization of numbers and their basic mathematical operations, using progressive daily practice. US schools are fighting a culture of distraction and frivolity, and also many methods used in the U.S. have too many topics covered without any skill building or depth. Engagement is crucial, as there is no actual learning without it.
I feel Math Mammoth would be best for developing mental math along with mastering concepts using visuals. I absolutely appreciate and love ❤️ this book.
Saxon does have a lot of problems, but as you mentioned later with Horizons, the students need the repetition. I think this is true with everything we tackle to learn. I like both Singapore and Saxon(spiral method is great because the kids don't forget previous information), they are challenging.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review all of these math programs!! Was considering leaving Math U See and switching to Teaching Textbooks though my kids are excelling at MUS, only because I'm afraid to tackle Algebra for my oldest this year and possibly not be able to help her if she needs help. She's on a engineering track right now though so I don't want to put her in a math that is behind as you said TT is so that was very helpful. Thanks again!
I wouldn’t say Teaching Textbooks is “behind” it definitely goes at a slower pace but that develops confidence in my learner and it builds on that. Other homeschool curriculums can jump in too fast to a concept especially after summer break. BJU math 3 almost killed us. I feel like TT gets a bad rep for being too easy. I would rather my kid understand the concept using a simple equation then give up because it was too hard.
@@aproudarmywife0592 that's great to hear. I just ordered it for first grade. It seems everyone goes to Teaching Textbooks after 2nd or 3rd grade so I lie seeing moms who continue with something past elementary
I just started using Math Mammoth for my 2nd grader and absolutely love ❤️ it!!! I plan to buy more for her and my 4 year old going to KK next year. It’s also is an easy implementation for the parent(s). 🙌🏾❤️🎉🥳
This video was very helpful. I am using The Good and the Beautiful math for my first grader and it’s way too hands on for him and very time consuming. He just wants to do the worksheets and be done! I think Math Mammoth sounds like it may be a good fit! Thank you!
Do you have a blog or something? I've found you to be very insightful and a bit inactive as of late. I'd love more tips from you as well as that Singapore video you mentioned.
Thank you! No, I don't have a blog, but I've finally just made a couple more videos. Pregnancy at age 44 has seriously slowed me down lately. I've got a lot of ideas for videos, so hopefully a few months after having the baby I will start making more.
Would you say it would be a good idea to start with Singapore or Math in Focus in the early years, and then switch to Math Mammoth? Or Could I use Math Mammoth from grade 1-7?
I guess Teaching Textbooks has changed everything and maybe relying on other ways to get funds. I emailed them to ask the difference in the free version and paid. They said there’s no difference. So no point in paying now I guess.
What is your preferred math curriculum for 1st grade? I am looking for an open and go curriculum that is not to time consuming as I have two little ones. My daughter catches on very quickly and seems to adapt well
I've heard that it moves along very slow and kids can get really bored with it. This is because so much time is spent learning one thing. I also heard that it's very comprehensive but the slow pace can actually cause your kids to get behind. I was looking into it myself. But decided to go with Singapore Math because it's also comprehensive yet keeps a good pace and it's ahead of U.S standards. So many options! 😃
This was the MOST helpful and straightforward of all the math reviews I've seen. THANK YOU.

Every review I see about Singapore math nobody uses the teacher's manual which goes deeper with real lessons. It is very thorough.
Yes! We love Singapore Math and it's very hands on with lots of games and multiple versions of how to learn.
@@devcarn Do you have a review on here as well? I would love to see what else is included with the Singapore math

Would love to hear your reviews on a languages and literature curriculum (spelling, grammar, reading, writing)

I have 4 kids and can relate to you on so many levels!😂 love this video thank you so much for comparing so many all in one video!
I love Math Mammoth it is wonderful.
Are you still enjoying it? Considering it for my first grade
@@juliequates9529 yes we love it been using it for 5 years now.

Great video. Thoughtful comments and thank you very much.
So so helpful. very kind of you.

Teaching Textbooks is definitely not free. There is a free trial for the first 15 lessons to see if you like the curriculum.
Do they have a spanish version ? Thanks
@@CristinaTorress_ Not that I know of.

Have you tried math u see? If so what are your thoughts? Thanks for such a thorough review.
You're welcome! I have not tried MUS, but I know people who use it and love it. It seems to have a lot of good reviews.

Do you have any thoughts on math from CLE (Christian Light Education)?
Thank you!
Thanks for the comment!
Would you combine Singapore with Teaching text with MasterBooks?
Teaching textbooks site and app doesnt work
Have you done math u see?
Have you tried Go Math?
Julio Gutierrez have you ? I’m using Saxon math and idk how I feel about it
No, I haven't tried Go Math
Go math is common core. My son did it in public school and it was aweful, and my son didn’t learn anything from it.
