Two popular math curricula for students who can work independently, but they differ significantly in format and approach. Math Mammoth is a print/PDF worktext where all instruction is written directly on the page. Teaching Textbooks is fully online with animated video lessons and interactive practice. Both include auto-grading (Teaching Textbooks built-in, Math Mammoth through its online practice component).
Math Mammoth is the stronger choice for conceptual understanding, mental math development, and affordability. Teaching Textbooks is the stronger choice for screen-preferring students, complete independence from parents, and students who have struggled with math confidence. Math Mammoth covers grades 1-7 only, so you will need a different program for high school. Teaching Textbooks covers through Pre-Calculus.
