Synopsis

Math Mammoth Grade 2-B Worktext is the student book for the latter half of grade 2 mathematics studies. It covers three-digit numbers, measuring, regrouping in addition and subtraction, counting coins, and an introduction to multiplication.

The worktext contains both the necessary instruction and the problems & exercises, and is fairly self-teaching. Please note this is a student worktext and does not contain answers.

Features of the curriculum:

• Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the "WHY", so your children can understand the math, not just learn "HOW" to do it.
• Concepts are often explained with visual models, followed by exercises using those models. These visual models can take the place of manipulatives for many children; however, it is very easy to add corresponding manipulatives to the lessons if so desired.
• The curriculum is mastery-oriented. This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic, delving into its various aspects. This promotes conceptual understanding, as opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.
• There is a strong emphasis on mental math and number sense.
• It requires very little teacher preparation, which is a big benefit to most teachers/parents. :)
• The curriculum has no separate teacher's manual nor is it scripted. The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter. All the instruction is written directly to the student in the worktext, and we also offer accompanying videos where you can see Maria herself teach the material.
• After each chapter introduction, you will find a list of Internet links and resources (games, quizzes, animations, etc.) that can be used for fun, illustrations, and further practice.
• For addition and subtraction facts, you can use our online practice program (free).

This Canadian version of the 2-B worktext is essentially the same as the U.S. version, but is customised for Canadian audiences in these aspects:

• The currency used in the chapter on money is the Canadian dollar.
• The curriculum teaches the metric measurement units. Imperial units, such as inches and pounds, are not used.
• The spelling conforms to British international standards (British English).
• Page (paper) size is Letter.

About this title

About the Author

Maria Miller was born and grew up in Finland where she also received a master's degree in mathematics in 1997. She loves math and teaching, so becoming a math teacher was a natural career for her. Miller started writing math books in 2002, prompted by her experiences in tutoring homeschooled children. She felt the books they were using were inferior, especially when it came to conceptual understanding of mathematics, so she began to write books that focus on the concepts and the "why" of mathematics, though not forgetting the "how" and the needful practice. Over the years, her materials have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers. In her free time, she likes walking, bicycling, swimming, reading, helping out with Inspire4.com, playing piano, and listening to music.
