Simply Unforgettable
All students start at the beginning. Every student follows the same path. Exposing students to higher level skills only after we have made sure the necessary sub-skills are in place, will guarantee success.

Semple Math
The Complete Basic Skills Mathematics Program

Semple Math is a basic skills program for all students. Our unique sequence and methods, employing both fact and process mnemonics, enable students to commit math facts to memory ... not for a week, not for a month, but for life! At the same time the students are able to develop a concrete understanding of the abstract concepts that make up the Base 10 number system.

All students start at Level One in order to build a solid foundation. All students should continue through levels Two, Three, and Four to achieve basic skills mastery. A typical, mainstream student will complete our program in less than three years. It is common for students beginning a course of Semple in first grade to be ready for Pre-Algebra in fourth grade.

It is also common for Semple to be used as a "program of last resort" when other programs have failed. In spite of the damage done to a student's natural ability, attitude, and self esteem, people who turn to us and execute the program as written are never disappointed! It is never too late to save a student. Seeing a young learner finally smile again can be very rewarding-especially when the student is smiling about math.

As people experience success with our program and the word continues to spread, more and more people are visiting us for the first time. For those who are new, we have reformatted our 2nd Edition order form. Individual items are still available for purchase, and we have added several popular packages for the customer's convenience.

There are three different Level One Starter Sets described below.
A customer need only select one to begin our program...

HOME 1 : The "Home Schooler" Complete Level One Starter Set.
This is the same set as SET 1 above with one substitution: This set includes three 1st Edition workbooks (A, B, and C), which lowers the overall cost of the set. 1st Edition and 2nd Edition materials are completely compatible. The set still offers every advantage of the revised Level One Teacher's Manual and the Place Value Kit. It is a complete package with everything the instructor requires to execute Level One.

The Place Value Kit, which is first used in Lesson 29 of Level One, has been omitted from this kit to reduce the cost. This allows an instructor to try the first 28 lessons of Semple Math at a minimal financial commitment, and the Place Value Kit can be purchased separately when needed.

All 2nd Edition materials will remain available at all times.

The next three sets of materials run follow the sequence of our program. Each levels concentrates on one operation: addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Having completed a first level starter set (Addition) the student should then move on to SET 2 (Subtraction), and then SET 3 (Multiplication), and finally SET 4 (Division). All three of the latter sets are offered only as 2nd Edition sets. Please see the 1st Edition order form for 1st Edition availability of higher-level materials.   Level 1: Addition
