The educational approach balances conceptual understanding with skill fluency. Rather than focusing solely on memorization, Math Dad emphasizes the why behind math procedures through visual models, real-world connections, and hands-on exploration. Concepts are introduced in manageable chunks with practice through multiple modalities - videos, worksheets, games, and projects. The curriculum systematically builds from number sense to geometry, statistics, and introductory algebra. Special attention is given to challenging areas like fractions and negative numbers through multiple representations and gradual difficulty progression. The tone is encouraging and mistakes are framed as learning opportunities, helping reduce math anxiety. While comprehensive, the bundle allows customization based on individual needs and interests.

Our mission

The mission of Science Mom is to make science and math learning engaging, accessible, and inspiring for families everywhere. Through self-paced, secular, and visually rich video courses paired with interactive doodle notes, polls, quizzes, and hands-on projects, they aim to empower learners to explore core concepts with confidence and curiosity. By keeping prep minimal and content lively, their goal is to support diverse learning styles and bring joyful, real-world education into homes and classrooms, fostering a lifelong love of discovery.

Our story

Science Mom (Jenny Ballif) and Math Dad (Serge Ballif) began their journey when Jenny, a plant science expert, started bringing weekly science demos to her son’s second-grade class in 2013, where she earned the nickname “Science Mom.” Wanting to make science fun and accessible for more families, she teamed up with Serge, a math Ph.D. and former college instructor, to create engaging, educational YouTube videos. Their channel grew quickly, especially during the pandemic, leading to the development of full self-paced, secular courses in biology, chemistry, and math. These courses blend entertaining video lessons with doodle notes, quizzes, polls, and hands-on projects, all designed to require minimal prep while deeply engaging learners. What started as classroom demos evolved into a global resource for joyful, real-world science and math learning at home.

FAQ: Additional Details about Math Dad Grade 6 Math Bundle

A typical lesson starts with an engaging video where Math Dad explains concepts like ratios or integer operations using visual models and relatable examples. Students then practice through guided activities, often using household items or printable manipulatives. Many units include practical applications such as calculating percentages during simulated shopping trips or using geometry in design projects. This mix of instruction, hands-on exploration, and varied practice keeps lessons dynamic and accessible.

After purchase, you get immediate access to a full year of organized video lessons, printable worksheets, activity guides, and assessments. The curriculum follows a logical sequence but allows self-paced progression. Each unit builds on previous skills while offering flexibility to spend extra time on challenging topics. Clear weekly lesson plans and supply lists make implementation straightforward without extensive preparation. Answer keys are included for all practice materials.

This bundle is ideal for 11-13 year olds at a sixth grade math level who benefit from varied teaching methods. It works particularly well for visual and kinesthetic learners, homeschoolers needing structured but engaging material, students who prefer mixing digital and hands-on learning, and those needing to strengthen foundational skills before pre-algebra. It's also excellent for students who have struggled with traditional textbook-heavy programs.

The program may not be the best fit for students who need extremely scripted daily lesson plans, a purely traditional worksheet approach, or advanced content beyond standard sixth grade math. Those with significant gaps below grade level may require prerequisite skill-building before starting.

The Math 6 Full-Year Bundle is designed to be accessible for students with various learning needs including autism, dyslexia, and dyscalculia. The structured video lessons with consistent formatting and visual explanations work well for autistic learners who benefit from predictability. Dyslexic students will appreciate the multi-modal approach that minimizes reliance on text-heavy instruction through videos, hands-on activities, and interactive practice. For those with dyscalculia, the emphasis on visual models like fraction bars and real-world applications helps make abstract math concepts more concrete. However, students with significant math gaps or severe dyscalculia may need additional targeted support alongside this curriculum as it follows standard sixth-grade progression.

Science Mom and Math Dad very well for gifted and 2e learners, offering engaging, rigorous science exploration with flexibility to differentiate. For profoundly gifted kids, it’s a strong starter—pair with deeper extracurricular projects or independent research to meet their advanced needs.

Gifted learners appreciate the in-depth explanations and real-world science, which are great for skill-building like note-taking even when content isn’t fully new.

Twice-exceptional (2e) or accelerated students can still benefit, especially when pairing familiar topics with scaffolded academic techniques.

Profoundly gifted students seeking autonomy and depth will find the self-paced, inquiry-driven structure supportive; however, they may need more complexity or opportunities for independent extension beyond the provided material.

Students should have certain prerequisite skills including comfort with all four whole number operations, basic fraction concepts, simple decimal addition and subtraction, place value through millions, and basic geometry vocabulary. The bundle includes review of key fifth grade concepts but moves at a sixth grade pace, so students with gaps in these areas may need extra time on foundational units.

While independent learners can complete much of the work alone, caregiver involvement enhances the experience. Younger students may need help reading instructions or setting up activities. Caregivers can check work using provided answer keys, participate in real-world projects, and offer encouragement. No advanced math knowledge is required as the videos teach all concepts.

To get the most from the bundle, establish a consistent math routine of 4-5 days per week for 30-45 minutes. Before each unit, preview the materials, print necessary resources, and gather supplies. Use the included assessments to identify areas needing extra practice. Maintaining a math journal for notes, examples, and reflections can be helpful. Supplement with real-world applications like cooking or budgeting to reinforce concepts.
