TOS Review: Math Mammoth
Liberty and Eden have been trying out Math Mammoth for the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew lately. We got to use three different worksheet sets, all from the Make it Real Learning series: Arithmetic I for grades 3-6, Arithmetic II for grades 4-7, and States by the Numbers – South Dakota for grades 3-7.

Summer nights.
One of our favorite things to do on a warm evening. (One of these days, I’ll learn to count to six and realize Eden was busy cooking another marshmallow after donating her first to Charlotte and she never got in the mix of messy s’more eating children. Oops.)
The story of us. Part nine.
Read part one here. Read part two here. Read part three here. Read part four here. Read part five here. Read part six here. Read part seven here. Read part eight here. The neighbors. Oh, the neighbors. The ones who shared our building were the hardest part. He was on house arrest, she was angry […]
