1. Use Mathopedia like an encyclopedia to look up math skills that coincide with your math program. Use the one-page tricks and tips to teach or review the math skill in a memorable way.

2. Purchase one or both of the Mathopedia, Levels 1 and 2 books for more individualization. The books complement each other page by page. Level 1 boasts fewer words and easier problems for introducing lesson basics or for those that struggle. Level 2 has extra vocabulary and uses more difficult problems but mirrors Level 1 in instruction.

3. The one-page tricks and tips help all ability levels. Some students will learn the trick and be ready to move to the next skill. Others may need to refer back to the Mathopedia skill pages at varying rates or even for tests. It is easy to individualize when using both levels.

4. Another instructional option is to re-sequence your math program’s presentation of math skills with the order used in Mathopedia. The sequence of the book promotes optimum learning since success on each ordered skill page is more likely to follow with success on the following higher-level skill pages. Mathopedia uses a part-to-whole method of teaching and is easily used in coordination with any math program.

5. Teachers can use Mathopedia, Level 1 to introduce a skill to a class

and Mathopedia, Level 2 to wrap up or review the same skill for a test. Students that struggle with math may want to use Mathopedia skill pages during a test as a prompt.
