Learning the Basic Operations of Math Mojo

There are so many different and more interesting ways of doing EVERYTHING in basic math than the ones which get shoved down your throat in school.

Math Mojo is dedicated to teaching you as many of them as you want to learn, so you have a choice, and that choice is informed.

On the next few pages, the operations will be listed and you will see different ways problems are usually set up. Eventually there will be a link to each example, showing you different ways to do them.

Unfortunately, I am working on this site alone, and will only be able to put up a page or so a day, so it will be awhile until it is complete. (Actually, we are dealing with a huge subject here - it will never be done!) The main effort is on abax lessons at the moment, and they are about the best way to get introduced to some of the main things you will need to know for further Math Mojo lessons. I suggest that you start there, because even if you are good at math there is something new for you to learn on those pages.

Until then, click around on the pages below to see an overview of how the Math Mojo site is going to be set up.
