Math Mammoth lesson plans for the Homeschool Planet

BIG NEWS! Have you heard of Homeschool Planet? It is a calendar product for homeschoolers, developed by the Homeschool Buyers Co-op.

Well, here's the news: we are developing "LESSON PLANS" for Math Mammoth for the Homeschool Planet. :)

Grades 1-4 are already available as of today.



These plans assign the lessons and tests from Math Mammoth Light Blue series curriculum over a period of so many days, usually around 180-190 days. In the calendar, you can then apply these "days" to the calendar however you want -- even "scoot" them forward if a particular day's assignment doesn't get done.

The plan also allows you one-click access to dozens of my instructional videos, assigned to the matching lessons in the curriculum, as well as many additional Internet resources and games -- one for nearly every day of the plan. You can use these resources for additional practice, for review, for illustrations to clarify a concept, or just for fun.

I hope they will be of help!

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 i...

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...
