Mammoth Math

Description

What do mammoths and elephant shrews have in common? In this charming basic math supplement, they both interact and figure out math concepts! Through playful illustrations, students are engaged and invited along to learn and brush up on math skills like counting, fractions, prime numbers, angles, shapes, measurements, diagramming, and so much more! Mammoth Math: Everything You Need to Know is a colorful text with questions throughout that spark math discovery. Enjoy mammoths getting tangled in angles and laugh at the antics of the elephant shrews! Clear illustrations explain math concepts in a detailed way for visual learners. The Mammoth Math Workbook takes everything we love about the Mammoth Math book and makes it interactive with practice problems and short explanations, all presented in colorful illustrations with room to work out problems! All answers are found in the back. Both books can be used independently of each other but work wonderfully together as a text and workbook combination. Students will fall in love with Macaulay’s illustrations as they ENJOY working on their math skills. ~Rebecca
