    I'm looking into different math programs for my 2 oldest boys next year (4th and 1st grades). We currently use Right Start math and, while I totally love it, it has not been working out for us. I'm doing LOF right now for ds9, but am still on the lookout for other programs. I would love feedback on Math Mammoth from those of you who have used it. Pros and cons? Does it work for only certain types of learners? Thanks!

    we used the first grade math mammoth and my son hated it. It's a lot of handwriting and a lot of repetitive practice and so he didn't care for it. As a parent I say it's a strong program and will be using it again this coming year with my upcoming first grader, he is night and day from his brother and I think he'll like it. My oldest has used and loved Math U See this year for second grade. Basically where possible I'm having my younger kids use what we already have, so Colton will use math mammoth this year and move to mus the following. I just do what I need to to make it work for us. For my oldest I had to allow him to do a lot of it orally.
