THE MANGO MATH K-5 CURRICULUM is an integral part of the Boys & Girls Club of South Puget Sound’s daily after school math program. The Boys & Girls Club of South Puget Sound oversees nine Boys & Girls Clubs in Kitsap, Pierce, and Mason County, Washington.
Margie Gabe, the Site Coordinator for the Sand Hill Boys & Girls Club, cites MANGO Math’s ease of use, self-contained lessons, and the quality and creativity of the materials and activities as a big part of the curriculum’s attraction:
“MANGO Math is an integral part of our everyday program. Math has always been a big deal for us, and we are impressed with the range and scope of activities, that the activities are self-contained and very user friendly – we like that they are already put together and ready to use “as is”, right out of the crate. The children really enjoy the MANGO Math activities and the wide range of math concepts covered. Our volunteer staff find the curriculum easy to use and explain, and like that the children are engaged with the games and activities, and with each other.”
Ms. Gabe has personally witnessed a student who had been struggling with math show improvement using the MANGO curriculum – and a survey sent out by her club shows improvement in overall grades for all students participating in their program.
The Lake Chelan, Washington School District, which runs 20 after school math classes, has a similar experience. Jennifer Polley, who manages the curriculum for the Lake Chelan School District, likes MANGO’s organization, ease of use, and self-contained lesson plans:
“We would definitely repurchase and recommend the MANGO Math curriculum based on our experience”.
