Math lessons for living education, Level 1 - Look inside
We have been using Math Mammoth and have enjoyed it. For the most part, it is easy to follow and is designed for independent work. I love the examples and colorful pictures because it's not all black and white for the lower elementary visual learners. In my opinion, I bought Masterbooks not knowing how underperforming it was. Therefore, I would recommend it for lower level special education learners that may struggle in math or may have a very low attention span (e.g. ADHD).
i agree with you, thank you for your review
yes! true

Great Review! I bought Abeka Arithmetic for my kids this school year, but was very disappointed. We switched to Math-U-See after I found Math-U-See Alpha and Beta Workbooks for $2.00 a book at Goodwill. We have been using it without the teachers manual, videos or their blocks. Instead we used our own unfix cubes; and I just go over the material with them. We are loving it so far. I actually like that its black and white. It seems less distracting! Math Mammoth seems like a good choice if Math-U-See doesn't work out price wise for us next year.
yes sometimes it takes trial and error to find the great fit, thats why i put an effort to make this overview )) thank you for your comment
We have used Math U See for two years and love it! Highly recommend the videos though, they’re very short & so so helpful.
Sprechen Sie deutsch,говорите вы по русским?
Yes I speak Russian
Thank you! This helped so much!!!
happy to hear it, thank you
Thank you for making this video. It’s very helpful in narrowing down which math curriculum to choose!
i am so happy it was helpful
Thanks so much for the ideas! How/when do you incorporate so many books into their day?
my children love to read , so they read them all the time in between the lessons, or we can do a book together right after the lesson, it depends
This is exactly the comparison I was looking for! Thank you so much!!!
thank you for saying that, makes me happy ))
This is so helpful! I think I’m going to give the LA a try for my 10yo. Thanks for this great review!
oh my pleasure, so glad it was helpful
Did your son who is using Saxon, use Math Mammoth? How was the jump from Math Mammoth to Saxon, if so? Thanks!
hi, yes he had finished Math Mammoth full course which ends at grade 7, but since MM is advanced grade 7 is pre -Algebra basically, so we started saxon Algebra right away, worked smooth and no issues. after he had finished Algebra 2 though i switched him to DIVE math whcih is online program that grades and tests. and not that repetative and drilling as SAXON which my son didnt like. he is doing pre calculas now and loves DIVE
@@StoriesFromTheNorthwoods oh thank you so much, that is very helpful!
For math-u-see, can you stream the videos since I don’t have cd drive.
Yes, they have digital access for every level from Primer through Pre-Calculus. When you purchase a Universal or Level Up set it comes with digital access. Digital access can also be purchased separately.
I use CLE for first time this year with two children and we love it!
I am so happy you found curriculum that works , it is so important
This was very helpful for me. Thank you!
makes me happy
Thank you for your sharing! I'm really interested in the camparison of math products, I wonder if it's possible to talk with you
feel free to ask your questions here
Thank you! This was so helpful. We're currently using Jump math but one of my kids has very little interest in math and finds it very boring. I'm going to check out Math Mammoth and Masterbooks.
Have you found any negative to using masterbooks? We're now 1/4 into level 2 and are questioning the process (thinking of moving into math mammoth). We find it lacked in teaching number sense and mental math? Or did we miss something
i d definately choose Math mammoth , you will never feel you are missing on something )))
Great video! Thank you! I looked up the printer you mentioned and it says it does automatic double sided printing. Does it allow you to print just one side if you want to?
yes, absolutley, just choose your settings in the print menu
Love this!!
Thank you so much. This is what I needed👌👌👌 great content
apprecite your feedback
YES, Singapore needs to develop DVDs and /or an online program that incorporates automatic grading like "DIVE Math" with Dr. Shormann or "Teaching Textbooks" Both of these curriculums have auto-grade while the students can use the computer program on or off-line. Please watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/wXnp__Ni8e0/v-deo.html * THERE is a method for teaching so that children/even adults learn the relationships and functions of mathematics and the manipulation of equations such as linear equations. Math is best taught when there is an understanding of WHAT is being done - No matter if the number is small, large, fractional, etc. When a person can pull it apart and rearrange things they have a higher learning level. ** Then when getting to higher math, their brains are wired to think outside the box. An example of algebra with a linear equation. One needs to see and understand that y=mx+b is related to: Ax+By=C is related to: Y - Ysub1 = m (X - Xsub1) ***WATCH other "Singapore" method styles of teaching for a 'deep dive' into teaching. THESE ARE THE HIGHER LEVEL math students. My son learned this way and people are impressed with the amount of math he can do in his head without using a calculator. He was in algebra a year in advance and had no problems. WATCH: ua-cam.com/video/d2Aav4gykwA/v-deo.html Some children will develop learning gaps with old traditional math teaching. ***WATCH ua-cam.com/video/HsBo20by-rw/v-deo.html Why We Switched from Abeka to Singapore Math
Thank you so much!🥰
my absolute pleasure
Omygoodness! You’re so sweet! I loved your breakdown of how you organize gather round! 💕💕
))) thank you for stopping by and watching. happy to share what works
I have a son going into the third grade... Would this combo be good for him or would you recommend something else for his grade
my third grader were good with both of those, but you can start with The Story of The Word, it is lie a literature written book, that easy to read and you can do read aloud. the other one you can do after that , it is more advanced , just a bit .
Thank you for your review. I saw your review about CLE ( Christian Light) Language Arts and Learning to read. Have you tried out CLE math?
no i havent tried CLE math, i am so happy with math mammoth so i never look for any other ))))))))))
@@StoriesFromTheNorthwoods ok thank you. I have been trying to decide between Math Mammoth and CLE. I like the look of both for different reasons. Thank you.
@@MariaMaria-sr8zg I hope you will pick something that will work perfectly for you, also i think CLE might have sample pages?
@@StoriesFromTheNorthwoods Thank you. Me too. I have 2 older children I homeschool but my older 2 both learned in different ways from each other. I'm searching for the right fit for my youngest now. Thanks so much for your reviews and help. We are definitely doing CLE Learning to Read and LA 1 for our youngest. Now just have to choose the math. Hah
@@MariaMaria-sr8zg oh i think math mammoth still has sale going on , till 1 june i believe
We also love Math Mammoth!!!
i am math mammoth advocate forever,, just sad they dont have high school math
Such a great review!
thank you so much for the feedback , means so much to me
@@StoriesFromTheNorthwoods you’re welcome! It was so helpful.
Thank you so much! Excellent review!
My kids are 7, 9, and 11 also! I’m looking at The World’s Story 2.
yes we dont that one too. it is good. but level 3 suddenly gets complex with language so you might check that one before you buy, we are doing story of the world for now , after we done #2
Thanks for the review! Master books math now has additional practice sheets to purchase on the side that correlate with the lessons to increase the amount of work for each level and understanding of the topic. I think with the practice sheets, it gives it a little more :)
oh good to know . thank you
As someone whose done master books math, I absolutely think the extra practice sheets are essential. With those, my son excels and enjoys the curriculum
my issue with masterbooks was not the lack of more exercises but the simplicity of it and actually too much of the same exercises though. )) but it might be great for other kids
We are using math lessons for my daughter as she needs the gentle approach and she is thriving with it, we have just discovered math mammoth a few months ago for my son and he loves it so much, he is very mathy and the way it’s presented works well for him
thats great, i am glad there are so many options for different learners <3
Thank you for the review 👍
my pleasure
Great video! I would love to see how you schedule all of these subjects! God bless! :)
Great idea , thank you ))))
Super helpful video! Thanks for sharing and being so thorough yet concise!
thank you for the valuable feedback
This was amazing! Thank you sooooo much. :)
oh my pleasure
Oh wow. GREAT job! I had researched each one of these but was still so confused. This helped me quickly narrow it down.
thank you so much for this feedback , it made my day
This is such a great video!! We did the Gather Round bird unit when it first came out, and my boys are begging to do it again and I couldn't decide how to make it exciting for a second time around. Your book suggestions might just be the ticket! So many great ideas. Thanks!
oh that makes me happy, hope it will help a lot in your homeschool.
This curriculum looks more fit and more “friendly” for my son than the one we’ve been using so far for LA. I think it’s worth trying CLE. Thanks for sharing!
i am absolutely happy my suggestion helped your son )))
This was great.
oh thank you so much for the feedback , so appreciate
This was a great comparison! Thank you! We currently use masterbooks. We are almost done with level 2 however I have been eyeing math mammoth.
oh i am so happy you liked it )))) if you have any questions about math mammoth please ask
Hi, I like your videos! I have a questions about Apologia Science. I'm not too familiar with it, it looks like a textbook to me. Have you used other science and how does it compare? Why do your prefer it? You caught my attention when you said it had a lot of hands on experiments and activities. Thank you!
hello, thnak you so much for your question. yes we did use at first the Masterbooks science LIFE. it was a bit dry for my kids and a bit on the unrelatable level. Apologia is very beautiful and it has level for beginners and advanced level which is great for high and middle school. it is written with engaging style , has lots of options and so to say rabbit trails. every lesson is packed with simple and sometimes more complex hand on experiments , so you have tons of differen activities to pick from. so we use only textbook but you can also buy notebooks or journal as they call it, where kids (by levels i believe ) can do their notes drawings and observations. i will consider and make a vidoe on it , i might get also journals just to show people the whole picture of this currciulum
Do you use Units in your homeschool?
Have you done HUMAN BODY UNIT yet?
Yep
We've done NAB, Space, Asia, North America, Oceans, Oceania, Creepy Crawlies, Transportation, Africa & working through Inventions & Ideas now. Starting Europe in February & trying to plan now! I have 3 boys (7-12) with varying educational needs and this curriculum allows me to tailor it to each child!
Thank you for sharing, Alicia. i hope my videos help too. we have done europe , asia, africa, space, nab, indeginous peoples, and now we are doing Human Body
Which option would work for you? Happy planner? 3-ring binder planner? or Pro-click binding one?
I think the Happy planner :)
I subscribed to your channel/
thank you so much, appreciate
@@StoriesFromTheNorthwoods You're welcome!
Which is your favourite Christmas book?
That’s brilliant! And I agree: working smarter is better than working harder! No burnouts! Love it, Lana. Thanks for ideas on all the free resources, and character building, too!
oh its absolutely my pleasure
Do you read aloud when reading with the children or do you allow the children to read it also? What are they doing while you read?
yes i am reading aloud , they just listen and we stop often to discuss.
Do you think learning to read will be appropriate for 3 years old?
hm, depending on the child, i wouold wait until 5 or 4 if the child is very bright
