Mathopedia

Mathopedia

Mathopedia, Level 1 and Mathopedia Level 2 are designed like encyclopedias. Math skills are condensed to one concept per page allowing students to get the important points. Choose Level 1 or Level 2, or both, to individualize instruction. Both books correlate with each other page by page for ability and grade level mapping of curriculum. These textbooks present math skills in a sequential way from addition to pre-algebra concepts. The skills are aligned to states' math standards to help raise student test scores on state assessments. Math tricks aid retention to try to not leave any child behind. The author has noted a significant increase in her own students' math test scores after instruction with this book.

These books are perfect for all ages dealing with basic mathematics and are a great student textbook, teacher's handbook, homeschooled children’s handbook, and/or reference book. The sequence of the book promotes optimum learning as each concept builds page by page. The teacher adds his or her own problems to accompany the concepts.

The texts can be used in a consumable fashion or reused from year-to-year. For the most favorable learning conditions, students use the textbook as college students use their texts. They record notes and highlight as directed by the teacher. It is perfectly fine to reuse the book as other texts are used. Allow students to use Mathopedia as a reference at any time. Students with special needs may use the books during a test to help them by looking over their sample problems. The same books can be used the following year or switch to Level 2.

As the student progresses, use Mathopedia, Level 2. The concepts are presented exactly the same so students relearn the same concepts every year in a different way. Continuity between grade levels is important to help students progress faster and with greater long-term retention. Both of these books are available in transparency format, spiral bound, or perfect bound books.
