Never give up! A story by 8-year old Savannah
Homeschool Math Blog

  This is a wonderful story by a girl about her experiences with math... have your kids read it! Note how she learns when the teacher allows her to correct her mistakes in a test. I definitely advocate that. In fact, I give my kids HALF of the points they COULD have gotten at first, if they get a test question correct when they revise it.    Tests should be LEARNING tools, and help children learn, just like everything else we do in teaching them, and NOT "scary judgment devices".   https://blackwomenrockmath.com/blog/f/never-give-up ..read more

Rounding rules for estimating
Homeschool Math Blog

3y ago
Several people have asked over the years about ROUNDING when estimating the result of a math problem. I finally wrote something to put online so I can refer people to that when they ask...  https://www.mathmammoth.com/lessons/rules_estimation   It seems to be a confusing topic! But really, in a nutshell, there are no exact rules. When estimating...   Consider your mental math skills. Round as little as possible, based on what YOU can calculate in your head. And, consider also how the rounding up or down will affect the final result. Sometimes it is better to round one num ..read more

Seven Up - game for addition facts (sums of 10)
Homeschool Math Blog

3y ago
This week, CodeLover (my son) and I played this simple card game Seven Up... see https://mailchi.mp/911f9ade2135/seven-up You simply deal seven cards face up, and if any two of them make 10, or is 10, you remove those. (You need to remove the face cards from the deck before playing.) Then you simply deal more cards to the empty places and keep on going. If you can't remove any of the cards, deal 7 new cards on top of your existing cards. This simple game is quite fun and practices sums with 10. One question to ask is, do you always win? Can you always remove all the cards and have none left ..read more

Where do I start with Math Mammoth?

Where do I start with Math Mammoth? is a question I often hear (or read ? ). Most of the time, the best starting place is this page: https://www.mathmammoth.com/complete/placement_tests.php Looking over the tests will give you an idea of what is covered in each grade level of Math Mammoth. A natural next step is to administer a placement test or several (instructions for this process is explained on the page), but it's not always necessary to administer a test. Sometimes the teacher/parent can see just by looking at the tests, where the child would place. Often, the test reveals gaps, an ..read more

Now you can practice more types of mental math at the Math Mammoth online practice section. ? We've added various types of exercises for adding & subtracting two-digit numbers mentally, mostly matching what is taught in Math Mammoth curriculum, in grades 1-2. For example, children can practice adding a two-digit number and a single-digit number WITH or WITHOUT regrouping... e.g. 45 + 3 is without regrouping, but 45 + 8 is with regrouping. Or they can practice adding/subtracting multiples of ten (56 - 30 or 34 + 60). See more examples in the image above! Here's the link for the on ..read more
