Services Overview
ShillerMath publishes the only Montessori-based math kits for ages 4-11. Each kit includes beautifully designed activities, diagnostic tests with answer keys, an audio CD with corny (but catchy!) math songs, a complete set of Montessori manipulatives, and hundreds of worksheets. No Montessori or math knowledge is required and there's zero lesson preparation - just read what's in quotes and you're good to go! Students using this approach consistently outperform their peers. Larry Shiller, ShillerMath founder and President, has a math degree from MIT. The ShillerMath curriculum includes authoritative materials and activities used by thousands of Montessori schools worldwide.

ShillerMath Product Vision
Our Montessori-based curriculum is so powerful because it recognizes that children have four primary learning styles: visual (writing in workbooks), tactile (playing with manipulatives), auditory (listening and singing to music), and kinesthetic (moving the body). Every math concept in the curriculum is covered from all four of these learning styles. And consumables are FREE!

Each ShillerMath kit (Kit I for 4-8 year olds and Kit II for 9-11 year olds) includes everything a parent and child need to achieve math success:

Carefully structured and eye-pleasing activities
A 25 song audio CD
12 comprehensive diagnostic tests that identify and fill holes in your child's math foundation
Worksheets and tracking sheets
Complete set of manipulatives (objects that students play with to explore and cement math principles)
FREE consumable replacement
Parent Guide
Toll-free phone support.

Some parents are anxious about math and are worried about projecting this anxiety onto their children. Other parents don't have time to learn new methods. With ShillerMath, parents don't need to know Montessori or math and there's ZERO lesson preparation time: everything you need to say is in quotes and complete instructions are provided for every activity. And with the entire curriculum, manipulatives, worksheets, and parent guide going for under $100/year, it's an amazingly cost-effective solution; there's nothing else to buy, even if several children use the product.

High quality materials and workmanship are the hallmarks of ShillerMath Montessori-based manipulatives. You and your child will appreciate the color, functionality, and sturdiness of each of the 30 different manipulatives.

To appeal to all the senses, ShillerMath includes an audio CD with 25 math songs specifically written for ShillerMath by Ron Brown, the acclaimed children's entertainer and educator. Children love to dance and sing to the catchy tunes, and to listen to the CD in the car.

All told, ShillerMath provides everything you need for a comprehensive, Montessori-based home study math curriculum.

Each ShillerMath Kit includes 12 diagnostic tests that:

1) pinpoint exactly what holes exist in a child's math understanding and
2) specify exactly what activities to revisit to fix the problem.

When children successfully complete the ShillerMath tests, they score well on standardized testing that is becoming the norm in middle schools and have the concepts, tools, and approach to make future math learning fun and rewarding.
