Brief description: Maria Miller was born and grew up in Finland where she also received a master's degree in mathematics in 1997. She loves math and teaching, so becoming a math teacher was a natural career for her. Miller started writing math books in 2002, prompted by her experiences in tutoring homeschooled children. She felt the books they were using were inferior, especially when it came to conceptual understanding of mathematics, so she began to write books that focus on the concepts and the "why" of mathematics, though not forgetting the "how" and the needful practice. Over the years, her materials have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers. In her free time, she likes walking, bicycling, swimming, reading, helping out with Inspire4.com, playing piano, and listening to music.
Review Quotes:
Just want to say thank you! I've been homeschooling for 9 years and I'm going to switch my youngest son (5th grade) to Math Mammoth from Singapore Primary Mathematics 2022. I think he will thrive on the text being addressed to the student rather than my attempts at scripted lessons because math is not my strong suit! I appreciate all the details on your website. I watched some of your teaching videos and my son will enjoy not being "babied" as he feels he is with videos we watched with Singapore. I can tell you are passionate about teaching math and providing excellent curriculum. THANK YOU!! Wish I had found you sooner!!

Hello Maria
My youngest has Dyscalculia, and we have found your curriculum to be fantastic. It allows him to totally grasp concepts and actually get to grips with math. Not a sentence I ever thought I would be able to say. Thank you and have a great week.

I want to thank you for this comprehensive, easy-to-use, inexpensive, EFFECTIVE math curriculum. My children have tried an embarrassing number of other math curricula in the past 2 years, with little gain in understanding. I have finally found a program that is actually teaching my 8-year old to understand the relationship between numbers! But the BEST part is that he said proudly the other day that he is "really good at math!" That sense of accomplishment and ability is SO important to me - I see so many children shut down when they think they aren't good at something. I am SO happy to have found the perfect fit for our family in a quality math curriculum!
