Mission Control Math wraps real math concepts in a story your child actually wants to read. Every workbook is a mission ā and your child is the Ranger who saves the day.
We don't drill first and explain later. Mission Control Math builds understanding before the practice begins.
Every workbook opens with a story. In the addition workbook, Rangers Kevin and Mateo are stranded on a distant planet due to poor homework performance. The only way home is to properly learn multi-digit addition with regrouping and to solve enough math problems to power their rocket back home. Your child is pulled into the mission before a single equation appears.
Before every set of problems, we explain the concept in plain language ā with visuals, examples, and memory tricks. Kids understand why the math works, not just how to execute a procedure.
Correct answers unlock letters. Letters decode a hidden message ā something funny or inspiring about the mission. It's the reward that makes kids want to check their work. Cryptogram puzzles are featured in the Multiplication Workbook.
Each chapter advances the mission. Math practice is woven into the narrative ā not bolted on after the fact.
After a review of second-grade addition, Mission Control engineers Ava and Emily walk your child through third-grade addition skills ā what place value means, how regrouping works, and the exact steps to solve multi-digit problems. In the Multiplication Workbook (coming soon), the team meets Jenny ā a consultant from Mission Control Florida brought in by Mr. Command to explain the rules of multiplication the team needs for a successful satellite launch.
Problems increase in difficulty as your child works through the workbooks, building confidence gradually instead of overwhelming at the start. Do as many or as few worksheets as your child needs.
The Rangers must test their new satellite's ability to send and receive signals. Correct worksheet answers decode hidden mission messages ā funny and inspirational. The puzzles make math fun! As it turns out, cracking codes is pretty motivating.
Every problem set includes a full answer key ā making it easy for parents and teachers to check work without the math themselves.
Every mission needs a team. These are the characters your child will meet on the way to math mastery.
