Math Mammoth Grade 4 Set (2020 Edition, Black and White)

Just enough practice and directions to make my kids enjoy math again.

Overall, we like this curriculum. It isn't always easy to find corresponding videos of the lessons on the website which is a bummer and sends us looking elsewhere for explanations. Also, it's pretty confusing that instead of numbering problems 1, 2, 3 etc. they're numbered 1 a, b,c 2 a, b, c etc. It's hard to explain where you're at on the page and to easily find the answers in the key. It's a pretty thorough system though and you can tell it builds on itself. I feel like my kids understand the concepts when they're done witth each lesson. We'll stick with it but there are definitely some hiccups.

This curriculum might be ok for students who enjoy thinking more abstractly, but it frustrated my daughter to the point of tears! After about 5 lessons of this curriculum we were done! I ended up going back to Horizons Math because it's much simpler for her to understand.

I really like this set. It’s no frills, plenty of reviews, short tests, and pretty simple to navigate. The author has put at least 2 pages of online games at the start of each chapter, for anyone who needs extra practice. We use them for summer review and Fridays occasionally too. The only problem is there are a few misprints (an extra question in the teachers book that’s not in the WB on OCCASION), and the answer key is not super-easy to read. If I could, I’d give it 4 1/2 stars. Once you get used to it, it’s a lot easier. The other thing is, I tend to be a slave to the workbooks, trying to finish EVERY problem on every page. If you remember that the curriculum is your tool and not your master, you will really enjoy this. Sometimes I just mark thru every other problem, because there are so many. Some kids will benefit from the extra practice, and I often break up one lesson into two days. It’s also self-teaching for the most part. I read the directions to my son just to ease his understanding and sometimes I work the sample problems on paper for explaination, but much of it he can read and understand.

As an educational therapist in private practice and a parent I love Mammoth. Math books that are filled with cartoon characters and other unnecessary elements distract learners, especially those who may struggle. Mammoth takes the learner, step by step through each concept with just the right amount of repetition for an effective spiral for retention and scaffolding of new concepts.

Very easy to work through. Self explanatory. Great resource! Will be coming back for more as my kids go through school. Love the extra links the book gives as practice.

We've only had the program a short time, but my son is finally liking doing his math work. He likes the self teaching and numerous examples shown. I am very happy that he is gaining confidence and feel this is a fantastic program for our needs.

After struggling through another math curriculum and a disappointing score on her first standardized test my daughter needed a different approach Math Mammoth was a perfect fit She caught up to her grade level improved her score substantially and more importantly she regained her confidence I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who is looking for clear simple straightforward math instruction at an affordable price
