Crew Review: Math Mammoth Blue series

I must confess that math is not one of my favorite subjects but, oddly enough, it is one of my daughter's favorites. She loves math and grasps concepts quickly and easily most of the time. But sometimes she will encounter a topic that takes a bit more work for her to grasp. At times like those, I love to pull out a few pages from Math Mammoth.

Maria Miller, the creator of the Math Mammoth program, has worktexts available in a few different formats:

• Light Blue series – full work-texts for each grade
• Blue series – work-texts by topic
• Golden series – worksheets for grades 3-8
• Green series – worksheets by topic 

Maria kindly sent us a few of the texts in the Blue series - Add & Subtract 2A, Measuring 1, and Canadian Money - a few of the topics that TJ could use some extra practice with. Add & Subtract 2A focuses on addition and subtraction to 18 and fact families along with "simple" (non-borrowing) addition and subtraction to 100, typical second grade material. Measuring 1, appropriate for grades 1-3, focuses on measuring length, weight, volume, and temperature. Canadian Money, covering topics for grades 1-3, teaches counting coins and change and solving money-related math problems - all with pictures of Canadian money, of course.

I love using the Blue series as a change of pace from our normal math program. It's the perfect way to work on a topic that TJ is struggling with or to just change up our routine. If she needs more practice with adding money, I can print a few pages and give her some extra practice. I like the print-and-go format. I can quickly find pages by specific topic and print exactly what I need. I also LOVE that Maria Miller made the money worktexts available with pictures of Canadian money. Those of us north of the border really appreciate that!
