Professor B Math {Crew Review}

July 16, 2012 by Dana

Any homeschooling Mom knows that Math can be one tough subject to teach but Professor B Math does it’s best to make Math easy to teach and easy to learn.  Professor B Math is an interactive Math program, created to help educators create a strong foundation for students.  It’s structured to provide a math education that teaches math as a flowing and connected story as a process.
Professor B Math provides truth in Math too, showing students a less complicated system of learning math facts and problem solving.  This allows for a more thorough understanding of math and it’s concepts.  It also helps to expand the students mental capacity while learning math.
Professor B Math is for students in grades Pre-K through 8th.  It helps provide a thorough math education through simplifying mathematical methods and facts.  You can purchase Professor B Math products online through the website by individual book, from addition all the way to Algebra.
You can also purchase a membership to their e-Learning program on the website in three levels: Level I – Pre-k through 2nd and remediation of older learners, Level II – 3rd through 5th and remediation of older learners, and Level III – 6th through 8th and remediation of older learners.  Professor B provides a placement test so that you don’t waste money where it isn’t need and can place your child at the correct mathematical level in the e-Learning program.  You can purchase one level of Math for $20 a month, add an additional level for another $15 a month and a third level for another additional $10 a month.  Or you can purchase 3 years of use for this program for $100 by calling Professor B Math at 678-765-6655.  There is also a free trial available by calling for those who would like to try out the program before purchasing.
Each level of e-Learning provides you with an Instant Master Teacher workbook and answer key, video’s to help teach the lessons with you as the narrator, as well as a completion certificate.  Because you are the teacher, Professor B does not provide sound with the lesson videos.  The workbook contains the student lessons and printable worksheets for student usage as they learn the lessons.  The exercises are simple, yet fun.  Student concepts are slowed down in comparison to other math curriculums, yet they do throw in a few exercises that challenge the student at the same time.
I found this program to be fairly good.  It seemed a bit remedial and in workbook style educationally but was honestly a great edition to our homeschooling curriculum.  I will most likely continue to use this program as a beginning math for my pre-k’er and also as extra practice for my older students as I found it helpful for all in some way or another.

Math Mammoth {Crew Review}

November 18, 2011 by Dana

Math Mammoth was created by Maria Miller in an effort to provide a better, more efficient way to teach math to students in an affordable way.  Math Mammoth covers all the basics of math for grades K-8 in four series levels: Blue, Light Blue, Golden and Green.  Each series is styled differently to work with your personal math needs either as a full or supplemental curriculum. 

We reviewed the Light Blue Series for 2nd grade.  This series included a full curriculum for my daughter.  The basic math topics of addition and subtraction in single and double digit form, place value and much more.  My daughter LOVED this curriculum though we have only begun to touch the surface of this massive downloaded file.  The concepts are thoroughly, yet simply covered, giving plenty of practice in each topic covered.  This math program has been a wonderful addition to our homeschooling days.

Math Mammoth is extremely affordable for homeschooling families too.  The full curriculum for Grade 2 on a CD is $39 or $34 for the download.  The supportive package costs a low $8.95.  Other curriculums are priced similarly and well worth every penny.  Mrs. Miller also offers the Making It Real curriculum which concentrates on relating math to every day life and a bonus download of over 300 free sample worksheets are available FREE on her website for all to use!
