 focuses on understanding of mathematical concepts
 uses clear explanations, lots of visual exercises and pattern exercises
 mastery oriented: concentrates fairly long on a topic, with fairly few topics per grade
 emphasizes mental math and developing number sense
Math Mammoth 3 covers the following topics:
1. Students develop an understanding of multiplication and division of whole
numbers through problems involving equal-sized groups, arrays, and area models.
They learn the relationship between multiplication and division, and solve many
word problems involving multiplication and division. They learn the multiplication
tables, and learn how to use their knowledge of multiplication tables to solve basic
division facts.
2. Students develop an understanding of fractions, beginning with unit fractions.
They use fractions along with visual fraction models and on a number line. They
also compare fractions by using visual fraction models and strategies based on
noticing equal numerators or denominators.
3. Students learn the concepts of area and perimeter. They relate area to
multiplication and to addition, recognize perimeter as a linear measure (in contrast
with area), and solve problems involving area and perimeter.
4. Students fluently add and subtract within 1,000, both mentally and in columns
(with regrouping). They learn to add and subtract 4-digit numbers, and use
addition and subtraction in problem solving.
Additional topics we study are time, money, measuring, and bar graphs and pictographs.
Homework: There will be reinforcement and math fact worksheets, 1 to 1 ½ hours per
week.

Additional Supplies Needed: 1 pack of 8 primary Crayola markers?

 focuses on understanding of mathematical concepts
 uses clear explanations, lots of visual exercises and pattern exercises
 mastery oriented: concentrates fairly long on a topic, with fairly few topics per grade
 emphasizes mental math and developing number sense
Math Mammoth 4 covers the following topics:
1. Review of addition and subtraction, patterns, and graphs. We illustrate word
problems with bar diagrams and study finding missing addends, which teaches
algebraic thinking. Children also learn addition and subtraction terminology, the
order of operations, and statistical graphs.
2. Next come large numbers—up to millions, and the place value concept. At first the
student reviews thousands and some mental math with them. Next are presented
numbers up to one million, calculations with them, the concept of place value and
comparing.
3. After briefly reviewing the concept and the times tables, the focus is on learning
multi-digit multiplication (multiplication algorithm). The children also learn why it
works when they multiply in parts.
4. Time, temperature, length, weight, and volume. Students will learn to solve
more complex problems using various measuring units and to convert between
measuring units.
5. Long division and using division in word problems. In geometry, we first review
area and perimeter, and then concentrate on the topic of angles. Students measure
and draw angles, solve simple angle problems, and classify triangles according to
their angles. They also study parallel and perpendicular lines.
6. Fractions and decimals are presented last in the school year. These two chapters
practice only some of the basic operations with fractions and decimals. The focus is
still on conceptual understanding and on building a good foundation towards 5th
grade math, where fractions and decimals will be in focus.
Homework: There will be reinforcement and math fact worksheets, 1 to 1 ½ hours per
week.
