We love math mammoth for older grades at least. My son prefers cut and dried

It’s so nice to hear from you again! Do you plan to eventually transition your younger boys from MWC to Math Mammoth? If so, what grade would you make that transition? I have loved MM for my math minded 8 year old, however it is not going so well for my 6 year old first grader and I’m thinking about changing her over to MWC which would add manipulatives and games. I don’t want her to hate math, especially as a first grader! But I do love MM and now that I’ve done 3 levels I can see the progression and it is so SOLID! And it has been around to kind of stand the test of time versus MWC.

Did you link the history podcast? I couldn’t find it and was interested in checking it out. 😊

I missed you!

We found math mannoth dry!!! He definitely needs a strong math foundation m!!! I make sure my daughter who is going into the medical field is strong in math!!! She fights me but then I tell her a heart surgeon needs strong math!!! We broke up language arts for my teens and I love it as they aren’t doing grammar unless I see they need it!!! I don’t question it with their writing assignments but I see that they have it down!!! We love MWC!!! I feel it gives a good foundation!!! I love to mix math curriculums when needed!!! We love memory work!!! My teenagers do it as well but I’ll make up memory statements of things I want them to learn!!! I bought a lot of crafts for us to do as a family and we’ve been loving it!!! My teenagers are doing the lord of the rings literature study by were’d you learn that!!! I agree with you on her literature studies!!! I love it when my kids can speak with native speakers!!! It sounds like your schedule is working for you!!!

let me know how you use Real World Math. I just discovered it and want to use it too at random times. My son has asked when he gets a cell phone (when he is mature enough to be responsible) and I would love to show him how much it would cost and how it impacts income etc. Maybe have him plan a meal that he would eat when he leaves home for college or job and have him estimate food cost vs reality when he goes to the store and calculates? I do not even know if this is in the book I just saw the cover and hoped it has something like that.
