Hello! My name is Maria Miller — the author of the Math Mammoth books you see on this site.
My aim with the books is to help parents and teachers teach math so our children and students can really understand what is going on. I've strived to explain the concepts so that both the teacher and the student can "get it" by reading the explanations in the books. In essence, the books become self-teaching.
I've always (since 2003) wanted to offer materials at affordable prices. So if you're one of those having to watch every dollar, check into my Blue Series books - the electronic versions cost between $2 and $5 apiece.
The colorful boxes below introduce the four different series of Math Mammoth books. For each book there is a description and free sample pages (which you can use for your teaching!). In fact, you can also subscribe to my newsletter or to the "math teaching" article series to get a PACKAGE of about 280 free sample sheets — see below.
The books in the Blue Series are worktexts for grades 1-5, organized by topic.
These books contain both explanations and exercises. Each book concentrates on a few topics only, such as perhaps addition & subtraction, multiplication, clock, fractions, division, geometry, etc. They are especially good for remedial or supplemental work - whenever your students need extra help on some particular topic.
Math Mammoth Lightblue books constitute a complete mathematics curriculum for grades 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Following the same practically self-teaching format as my Blue Series books, LightBlue series is designed to cover all topics for a given grade level. Each grade level includes two parts of a worktext (A and B), tests, an answer key, and a worksheet maker.
These are worksheet collections by grade-level (from grade 3 through Algebra 1), and provide very variable problems in a convenient one-topic per sheet format. These are great for teachers to give for classwork or homework, or for general review, reinforcement, or practice material. NOTE: These collections do not contain explanations such as you find in a textbook.
Math Mammoth green series brings you worksheet collections by topic. These are pulled out of Golden Series collections) so are duplicate content with them, BUT will serve those teachers and parents who wish to have worksheets on certain topics.

"...books are very easy to understand. Explanations very clear!"
"I LOVE YOUR PRODUCTS! Your approach to math is thorough and explicit -- simply great."
"...well set out, logical and easy to use..."
"I like their simplicity. They are cost effective and seem to have enough drill and practice."
"...they did all the teaching for me..."
"These books have allowed me to have more time with my family outside of work hours. The preparation of worksheets as you are aware are very time consuming and I have never found any books that have as much detail in explaning concepts and providing practice questions as your books do."
"...Very easy to follow, nice examples, nice mix of problems. Good flow for my kids' pace..."
"...I really like how easy these books make it to teach the kids their math. I also like that I have the ability to jump from grade to grade depending on where the kids need practice."
"...The format and content is very logical and clearly presented."
The Golden Series
"...worksheets that are above the drill and kill of ordinary worksheets."
"The questions were challenging in that students were required to think and not just fill in answers."
"The school curriculum was focussed on techniques and very little on drilling the concepts in the minds of the kids. As a result, once the topic was over, the kids would forget about it and I would have to start all over reminding them the techniques of solving problems.
Your books helped me lay the foundation for Math with the kids. We started from scratch even though we had done the topics. This helped to lay a conceptual foundation -- which I know now, will stay with them for life."
"...great - very well-thought out. The concepts are very clear, layout is nice. The student really understands the information - you can't just regurgitate some memorized facts - the knowledge is applied to the questions and excercises."
"...Very easy to use, easy to teach! I like the way you use several different ways to teach the same thing. It really helps with my child's style of learning."
"I can pick and choose the difficulty."
"... being able to print out a single sheet for a single student is so convenient."
"The variety of the material makes it interesting and the gentle repetition reinforces it rather than seem like a drill."
"I LOVE the variety of the tasks involed to test the grasp of each objective. I also like that the fact that they are challenging and will make my students think. "
