For the past year, I have used Mad Dog Math in my homeschool program and my children love it. Because it’s broken down into small parts it’s not so overwhelming for them to learn their facts. My son really struggled in fourth grade math because he didn’t have his facts memorized, but Mad Dog Math has taken that struggle away. He is now more confident in math and that has given him confidence in other subjects too. I’m glad that I found Mad Dog Math!

---Diane R., Homeschooler in Southern California

For Homeschooling: Because Mad Dog Math is part of my children’s daily routine, neither of them struggle with their math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

Thanks to Mad Dog Math, Angelica (7th grade) and Reagan (2nd grade) are performing beyond their math skill levels.

As an Educator: My 27 students had exceptional math skills (multiplication and division facts) when they came to 4th grade because they were exposed to Mad Dog Math in 3rd grade. Fourth grade math was easy for most of them and SAT scores in math were way above average.

Mad Dog Math Works!

---Mrs. Cohen, teacher (PHCS)

I am using Mad Dog Math in my classroom and the results have been astounding. Students who had difficulty with 2+3 are now working on the 10's family! Your program progresses gradually and successfully. I had a student who took the 0-4 subtraction family drill 11 times before he passed it. Since then, something has "clicked" and he has made continuous progress. I am very glad I bought your program and I have already recommended it to the second and third grade teachers at our school. Thank you for creating this program.

---Jan Hersom

I have used this excellent, easy-to-use math program with fifth graders, and now with adult ESL students. Both thoroughly enjoyed learning their facts this way. It's fun to have so many smiles!

---Marsha Elliott Teacher for 36 years

I am so glad that you now have an addition/subtraction program for 1st grade. It will be PERFECT for my class. You can't find anything like this in the stores.

---Jeannie Ross

Learning math facts has become one of the most exciting times of the day in my second grade class because my students love Mad Dog Math! These easily managed, time-friendly drills work well with any curriculum and they motivate the students to learn those facts! Thanks to Mad Dog Math, my students' computation scores are improving.

---Rosalind Porter Second Grade Teacher

Mad Dog Math is the "phonics" of math!

---Linda Thompson Elementary Teacher for 25 years

Wow, Mad Dog Math is so amazing. It is the best way to learn your multiplication tables. I think you could love it so much. Mad Dog Math was a great help to me. I think it would be a great help to you, too.

---Cristal Rojel, age 12, 6th grade

"Mad Dog Math is a vital learning tool for my third grade class. Through daily, timed practice of multiplication and division facts, all students were able to pass the LBUSD math standards in multiplication and division at Advanced Proficiency Level (seventy problems in less than 5 min. with less than 2 errors), with only 2 students passing at the Proficient level. It is only necessary to be Proficient in Multiplication and Partially Proficient in division (15 min. less than 7 errors) in order to be promoted to 4th grade. So, no students in my class required any remediation in these math areas thanks to Mad Dog Math.

In addition, all students looked forward to the daily tests and took pride in recording their individual progress. Parents also appreciated the daily feedback as students shared their progress on a regular basis, building positive home-school communication. Our principal also recognized students who exited the One Minute Club with a special math award.

I think what sums it up best is Joaquin's comment, "It's my favorite part of the day." The students took pride in showing our guests our Mad Dog Math chart."

---Victoria L. Corpuz-Monroe Buffum School, Third Grade Teacher Long Beach Unified School District

Mad Dog Math is the most effective tool I have ever used in teaching students multiplication and division facts. As a teacher, I know that students cannot move on to higher levels of math until they have mastered their multiplication and division facts. With daily drills and nightly practice, the multiplication and division facts are embedded into the students' long term memory that will last a lifetime. Mad Dog Math motivates students to step up to the challenge, and the best part is, the students love it!

---Robin Smith Educator

I just wanted to tell you the wonders it has worked for the kids. They are so motivated and excited about Mad Dog Math. They are practicing their facts ready to pass each drill. Even those who have had difficulties in the beginning are excelling. Thank you for a great program. Keep up the good work.

---Denae Howell 3rd Grade Teacher Frederick K.C. Price III School

I started Mad Dog Math last week and the kids are already in love with it. One boy was absent so didn't get to take his drill. He cried. One of my learning challenged students passed her 2x drill on the fourth try, and she was ecstatic. (So was I!). I am sold on Mad Dog Math.

Some of my students in the past have not left my third grade with a real solid foundation in multiplication and division. Drilling at home or even in the class with flash cards was not working. MDM is the perfect way to have students drill their facts. It's fun, challenging, and they learn. I talked my school into using MDM for addition and subtraction.

I would recommend MDM to all teachers, whether home, public, or private. It helps all students of all abilities.

---Cheryl Green Teacher

After many years of using another math facts timed test program, I was excited to implement Mad Dog Math. The news around my campus quickly spread and soon other teachers and grade levels were interested too. My students love Mad Dog Math. They get excited every time we get set up for it. They even begin to chant Mad Dog, Mad Dog, Mad Dog! I love the degree of success. The tests are set up in small increments and students frequently experience ongoing success. I am excited to see their joy and excitement about learning math facts and even being tested on them!

---Joyce Lingren

Sarah was the first in her class to make the 1 minute club in MDM on her 18's family! She worked very hard, and we are so proud of her. MDM has been a big hit in her class! THX for such a great system for kids to learn. Next year we’ll have to expand MDM and implement it in their new Christian school in LQ! It works!

---John Nichols Proud father of a second grader Bend, OR

My kids love it and cheer when it is time to test! I even have them correcting them also!

---Keri Rocco Kindergarten Teacher Central Christian Schools Redmond, OR

My kids are learning their facts...even our upper elementary into middle school teachers are implementing it so that they can teach their kids their math facts who have slipped through the cracks. Mad Dog Math is the best program for learning facts I have ever used.

---Melissa Phillips 3rd grade Central Christian School

MDM's positive effects are numerous. It allows students to work at their own pace. The bright students can move ahead as fast as they can go, yet the slower students are still in the game and feel a part of the action. It also provides accountability by requiring each student to practice daily. It gives a true picture of each student's mastery in multiplication and division. It provides the students with quick retrieval skills of the facts when they are doing daily work and during tests. Several students have commented on how quickly they can get their daily math assignments done because they know their facts. As the students move from the 2 Minute Club to the 1 Minute Club to the 30 Second Club they feel a sense of accomplishment and are motivated to keep practicing.

We can't imagine trying to help our students learn their multiplication and division facts any other way! We think it would be ideal for home-schoolers because the kids can manage the process on their own. The practicing and grading are "kid friendly!"

We are talking with our second grade team about implementing the addition and subtraction MDM.

---Sherri Bast, Mary Del Nero, and Kathy Downs The Third Grade Team at Paradise Valley Christian Preparatory Phoenix, AZ

My previous students are well prepared for the expectations of their 4th grade math curriculum. The long division, and multi-digit multiplication is so much easier because they have their facts down confidently. My current students are not discouraged because they know that they can take the same test the next day. Also, because some of my students are highly motivated to go through the program quickly, it motivates the others to follow suit.

I LOVE MAD DOG MATH! The program gets easier as the students progress because they have less facts to memorize. Also, those who move through quickly remain challenged because they proceed to the One Minute Club! Taking the time to “train” the kids to take the tests and correct them silently makes the daily test giving, and correcting, painless. It also takes very little classroom time!

---Wendy Humes Third Grade Teacher

I am so excited our school will be using MDM in 5 grades this year. I had a fabulous year experimenting with MDM. I started using it in January after going to the ACSI conference in November. By June some of my students were half way through the 30 second club and humming along. I love that it is so self-paced and kids who struggle are encouraged by their peers to keep working and improve. I really love how organized the program works. I have used the correcting method in all areas of my school day so that kids always know that happy dots mean correct and a circle means incorrect. I am excited to see how my students this year respond to this program and I am even more excited for our school to have students who have mastered their math facts! Thank you for sharing your program.

---Corinne Eagan Third Grade Teacher Palm Springs

Thanks to Mad Dog Math, my son, who is a sixth grader at a public school, is in honors math! I believe with all my heart that the equipping of good math skills he received in third grade using Mad Dog Math has given him the confidence and skills to achieve higher levels of learning. Using this methods to acquire the basic math facts will give your child a greater learning advantage.

---Candice Ramirez (and Angel)

I really just wanted to thank you for the Mad Dog Math program. My daughter is a 3rd grader at Bethany School and has been in the program for 3 years now. She is tremendously excited about math as a result of your program. Azalie is constantly telling me "Daddy, I'm in the 2 Minute Club"; "Daddy, I'm in the 1 Minute Club"; "Daddy,, I was one of the first to make it into the One Minute Club"! The excitement and joy that she exhibits each time she reaches a new level is overwhelming for me as a parent. It has been said that a student’s ability to comprehend math has a direct correlation with their self esteem. I can attest to this. Thanks so much. You are making a difference one student at a time. May God richly bless you.

---Dirk Adams, proud dad of a third grader

I am so happy with Mad Dog Math! Last year I didn’t get started until January. This year my first graders started the third week of school. At this point I no longer have to check each paper – just spot check for errors. We can run through the entire process in about ten or fifteen minutes and the children love it. I don’t dare skip a day! Even my most challenged student has reached #8 and my top mathematician is at #30. I no longer have to remind them to check for addition or subtraction signs and we haven’t even done our unit on subtraction yet! I am happy, happy, happy. It is so much easier for children to understand concepts when they know their math facts.
