Review

...Another resource which we just began using this year and will continue to use until our youngest has finished his schooling is Learn Math Fast. This unique math curriculum is designed for easy implementation at home, either with a small amount of parent input, or in a self-directed manner with an older child... It is without a doubt the most effective math curricula I've seen and the seven volumes are very cost effective. The beauty here is that these paperback books are non-consumable. You just go to the website with your code and download the appropriate pdf files for the worksheets and tests that your child needs. - Valerie --sevenkids.net

I have had the privilege to try the Learn Math Fast system out with my struggling math student/daughter who is entering 3rd grade this year. We were ready for something new. We used to struggle and argue through math and now that has all changed. I had high hopes when I received my copies of the Learn Math Fast System Volumes, 1 & 2. I was not let down it turns out it is even better than I had originally even imagined... This system is really fast, it s not just a name it really does work. The First volume which is 275 pages will teach first to third grade math. Yep 3 grade levels!! After your child has successfully completed just 2 workbooks they will have completed all the way through 6th grade math. I had thought about starting her in the middle of volume 1 in the level that I thought she was at which would be multiplication, but I am so happy I didn t because she not only strengthened her addition and subtraction skills, she learned a ton of new tricks and is now adding mostly in her head, even big numbers...amazing!! -I am learning new methods of math too, my math has never been strong, but now I have new tools to do the basic math I need in my everyday life. -These books are so easy for her to do even without me. If your child can read they can teach themselves math with this technique. It is all broken down and explained very well. --kingdomfirsthomeschool.com

I purchased your books recently and my eldest daughter who dreaded Math now claims that Math is her "favorite subject"! Thank you so much!!...After years of trying nearly every system I am very happy to share LMF is working for my kids, they are actually getting somewhere now and things like fractions and pre-algebra are actually making sense!! :) Thank you for your books! ~Katie Stockwell (Homeschooling mama of 6) --Katie Stockwell

About the Author

I'm J.K. Mergens, the author of the Learn Math Fast System. When I was a teenager, I told my future husband that I wanted to write a book someday, the only problem was I had nothing to write about. Years later, we had our only son and decided to homeschool him. I gathered up some textbooks and we began our journey. I used an old public school textbook to teach math to him, but when we got to multiplication I noticed he had difficulties. I asked him, "How much is 4 x 3?" He had no idea. I said, "You know that 4 + 4 is 8, so how much is 8 plus 4 more?" He still had no idea. I was shocked. I went to bed that night and prayed. I said, "Lord, give me a way to teach my child how to see numbers in his mind the way I do." The next morning, I had my answer. I taught my son what I was taught and he quickly excelled in math. Then we got to fractions and the methods used in that textbook, just weren't getting the message across. So I grabbed a dollar bill, four quarters, and taught him my own way. In just one week, he had fractions down. Next, was algebra. The textbook I had was written with such a high vocabulary, that I had to breakdown every sentence and then re-explain it in my own words; words that my teenage son could understand. This worked so well for my son that he enrolled in college at age 16 and was hired on as a math tutor. Today he is an Engineer with a great job. Once our son enrolled in college, my husband said to me, "Why don't you write that book you always wanted to." I quickly replied, "I can write about homeschooling!" He said, "Yeah, you could, but you should write what you know. You know math! Show everyone how you taught our son to have college level math by age 16. Teach all those tricks I heard you make up for our son over the years." And so I did. In 2009, I released my first book. I handed out books for free, just to get feedback. To my surprise, I heard good things. They told me the book worked! My husband was shocked too, so he encouraged me to keep writing. He told me to write a series of books that teach 1st -12th grade math. As of 2015, I have completed seven books and they cover 1st - 12th grade math. They aren't written like your typical textbook, but they WORK! They are being used in nearly every major city across America plus over a dozen other countries. Thanks to all of you who told your friends about the Learn Math Fast System over the years!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 7th grader finally gets it!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I am a homeschooling parent. My oldest child did fine with our previously chosen math curriculum, but my second really got stuck at learning the multiplication facts and got way behind. It seemed an impossible task to ever get her back up to grade level. She dreaded math and just felt no good at it.I ordered this in hopes of helping her get back to grade level in an efficient way. It has been a huge success!! She finished the first book in 3 weeks and can’t wait to start the next. She actually reaches for her math first now. This has solidified the basics for her and built her confidence so much.I’m using this also with my 3rd grader (who I’ve discovered was getting by with his math by using a lot of finger counting!) and my 5th grader. My fifth grader absolutely melts down if I try to time the tests, but as long as I skip the timing part, he’s doing great also and really building a much better recall of the math facts that will support him so much as he advances into higher math. And now that I know we can get through the material so quickly, I can be patient to let him build this foundation without feeling pressure to rush him along so he won’t fall behind.So grateful for this program!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Starts with the basic and builds on them. Awesome for those who struggle with math.

K.E. · April 19, 2025

Just what my son needed to help start with the basics and help build his confidence in math!

5.0 out of 5 stars A game changer

P. · January 19, 2025

This has been a great edition to my home schooling library. My son has always struggled with math. Visually easy on the eyes. Not overwhelming. It’s helped improve his accuracy which gives him more confidence in his abilities in math which is so essential. Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST!

S. · May 23, 2024

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel like I need to tell everyone how wonderful this program is!I feel like this program is so thorough and can really help to fill in gaps in learning. I’ve noticed a big difference in my children and more confidence with math.The lessons are very straight forward. Not full of fluff. They’re short and can keep their attention. My kids love the lessons and honestly I’m learning things as well!

4.0 out of 5 stars Even grown ups can learn from this!

g. · October 14, 2017

This book builds up math skills nicely. It not only teaches how to do math on paper, it teaches how to do them in your head. I bought volume 1 for my 1st grader and volume 2 for my 4th grader, but both are using vol 1 right now.My mom is my substitute teacher and even she's learning stuff!You'll need to supplement with additional materials (i'm using free online sources) to make sure your kid us learning stuff required for state testing.

5.0 out of 5 stars a valuable book.

THE BEST MATH BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful math books

M. · February 20, 2023

These math books are great, just the math books I have been looking for for years.Math books used to be more like this before common core. Now most math books are geared to that system, which I describe as teaching a child multiple ways of learning computations. These mental math gymnastics happen as we grow older, but should not be dumped upon a child just learning to compute. Most math books also jump around from issue to issue, one lesson computation, the next measurement, the next metric system, and on.This series is different and back to the basics of computing. I think they are modeling it on Ray’s Arithmetic, which is great! I always wanted a workbook to go with that series and this seems to be it.The only thing I wished they’d change are the covers of the books. I will be tearing off the All Seeing Eye pyramid on the second book. I can’t stand that garbage. Ancient rebellion against YHWH.

A sound curriculum without the fluff

It has a gentle but firm approach to learning math, encouraging both memorization and learning the "tricks" to solve problems. The author speaks directly to the learner, which is helpful for building confidence in self-directed learners. When my child was excited to do the worksheet because she "got it already," I knew this curriculum was right for her.Is she learning math fast? I don't know--but she's learning and not feeling threatened my math! Good enough for me!Much thanks to the author.
