Dear Maria,




I know you are terribly busy, but I just wanted to congratulate you on your (well deserved) recognition by Cathy Duffy. Having used MM for the past two years with my babies I know what an amazing program it is and I can't wait to complete the Light Blue program over the next few years. I recommend MM to all my homeschool friends as well as those who have kiddos struggling in math. The super-reasonable price is fabulous for those of us on very restricted budgets. I am so thankful to you for your vision and abilities and your willingness to share both with moms who are trying to make math better for our babies than it was for us. We will be MM users until there's no more material available. THANK YOU!

Maria,

A sincere congratulations to you on this recognition!

Our family has been using your program for only a couple of months and we are pleased customers. It is so convenient to have all the grade levels available so if my student is struggling we can go back to the root of the problem. I am using the light blue series for four children ranging in age from 6-11. While I feel we are "behind", I also feel now that we have the tools to address the weak areas and move forward. I believe the time we are spending on this remediation will benefit them long-term.

Thank you for Math Mammoth!

Geometric art project: seven-circle flower design

Image
I got inspired by the blogpost Art School | Geometric Design with Islamic Art where Deborah shows how to make a neat flower design with seven circles , using a compass, and then coloring it using 2, 3, or 4 colors (or however many of your own). I think it ties in neatly with mathematics, and lets students practice drawing circles with a compass.  My girls loved the art/math project. Here are pictures they made: Here are step-by-step instructions for the flower design: 1.  Draw a line and a circle so that the circle's center point is on the line. Then mark the points where this circle intersects the line. 2. Use those points as center points, and draw two more circles. The radius is the same all the time, so make sure you don't change it on your compass!We used 5 cm as the radius, and that made the whole design fit neatly on a regular letter size paper. 3. Now note the two points marked in the picture. They will be used as center points in the next

Meaning of factors in multiplication: four groups of 2, or 4 taken two times?

Someone asked me about the interpretation or meaning of the two numbers in multiplication, such as 4 × 2. Do you view it as four groups of 2 , or as four, taken two times ? Here's their question: "...I noticed that your explanation about how to interpret a math phrase, such as 4 × 2, is different from how I have understood it and taught it to my older daughter who was using RightStart Math at this level. Let me explain:  I see that you are using the first factor to denote number of groups and the second factor tells how many are in each group (4 × 2 would be interpreted 4 groups of 2).  On the other hand, I have taught and thought of it reversed, with the first factor telling how many are in each group and the second factor telling you how many groups (4 × 2 would be 4 taken 2 times).  I know that the difference in explanations does not ultimately change the product, but I am wondering what you thoughts are.  When I conceptually picture what I'm doing I see it as 4
