Meet Rick, Math Teacher Extraordinaire!
Rick Scarfi, the voice & genius behind MathLight’s teaching videos, is a veteran math teacher of over 30 years.
One of his biggest strengths (as you will soon see) is his uncanny ability to explain complex mathematical topics in a way that students easily understand.
Students are constantly saying, "I get it now!" or "You make it so simple."
You'll find his style blends tried-and-true best practices with creative innovation, so you know you're getting the best of both worlds.
"Forget what I think- my students have expressed to me that they LOVE math now because this program eliminates all the extra (confusing) stuff."
- April G.

Keep the Learning Active
STUDENT NOTES increase engagement & retention of content
The notes are our secret weapon here at MathLight. Experience their power for yourself!
Students are more connected with their learning
Students work through the explanations and examples along with the math video lesson, filling out the notes as they go and practicing the example problems along with the video. This helps student better engage with and comprehend the material.
Students remember more & gain confidence
When you provide your child with MathLight’s detailed math notes, you give them the tools and information they need to be successful. If they can’t remember how to work a problem, all that's needed is to have a look back at their notes for help and guidance. And when it comes time for assessments, they’ve got everything they need in one place.
You can hold your homeschooler accountable
Ever assign your child to watch a video but have no idea if they actually did? By requiring your student to complete the note pages along with the math videos, you dramatically increase the probability that they will actually watch it. Check for a filled-out sheet and you'll know!
BONUS!!
Completed notes are provided with each math video curriculum so you can help your student if they miss something or so you can check for fidelity. Yes, we did try to think of everything.

Easily Review & Refresh
QUICK REVIEW VIDEOS reinforce each concept
Sometimes your homeschooler needs just a little refresher on yesterday (or last week's) topic before moving forward. MathLight has you covered with our quick review videos for each lesson. These 2-7 minute videos summarize the main lesson concepts and remind students how to solve applicable problems. These math videos are so versatile your student might choose to review with them every day!
Easily review
It's a snap to watch a quick review video before starting the day's lessons. In fact, these times of recall and repetition can significantly help to drive the concepts deeper with your homeschooler.
Give stumped students a quick refresher
There is often a time separation between when homeschooled students watch their video lesson and when they sit down to practice those skills. This flexible schedule is one of the major benefits of homeschooling! But what's a student to do when they get to the practice problems and just can’t remember what to do? The math videos they watched earlier are always available, but sometimes that’s overkill. This is where the quick reviews shine. They’ll quickly remind your student of the main concepts and get him or her back on track.
Review before tests
Our students often find that there are one or two lessons that have gotten a little fuzzy come test time. Quick review videos are the perfect way to rapidly refresh concepts in preparation for quizzes, tests, and even standardized assessments.
"I appreciate that each unit has videos to go with each lesson, and notes that students can use to follow along without having to write down everything. Each practice page is directly aligned with the notes and lesson."
- Kristen B.
Build Skills
Versatile PRACTICE EXERCISES make differentiation easy
NOTE: At this time the Algebra 2 curriculum does NOT include practice exercises.
They ARE included in the Pre-Algebra & Algebra 1 curriculums.
Easily Individualize
Math is all about application. That's why each MathLight video lesson includes 3 unique practice exercises geared towards remedial, average, and advanced skill levels. This means you can easily assign your homeschooler the level he/she needs without making it too easy or challenging. Or, have your child choose for themselves the practice level that best matches how well they understood that day's lesson.
We've even heard from those who have students complete Practice Set A after watching the math video lesson, then Practice Set B the next day for review!
Empower Your Students
Our answer keys include the steps needed to solve the problem as well as the final solution. This allows you the flexibility to provide your student with answer keys to self-check and correct on their own.
Leveled practice sets AND answer keys included with each lesson!
See an example below:

"I have used Mathlight's Pre-Algebra Units for several years and found the material well-planned, easy to implement, and easy to use for students with learning disabilities. Everything you need is all together in each unit."
- Joanna E.
Improve Study Habits
Guided UNIT REVIEWS teach study skills
& improve test scores
Teach your student how to study
The guided review gives your student a checklist of concepts they need to know for the unit test PLUS practice problems for each topic.
Improve Self-Reflection
Have your student use the review checklist to note what he or she already understands as well as reflect on what skills will require extra practice.
Relax: Answer Keys Included!
We’ve included answer keys for everything with all the steps worked out. Provide the answer key to your student with instructions to correct every mistake or use yourself to grade.
See an Example:
"The videos are excellent. The note-taking is wonderful. The practice pages are sufficient so that I don't have to look for more practice. The quizzes and tests and reviews--also excellent! I highly recommend!"
- Carrie B
Test Fairly & Easily
Editable ASSESSMENTS integrate perfectly with the rest of the curriculum
Few things frustrate students more than when the test doesn’t match what they’ve learned in lessons. With MathLight, you’ll never have that problem. The concepts tested in each assessment come directly from the videos and notes, and include skills that have been previously practiced in the practice exercises and unit review.
We designed all of our assessments with both you and your students in mind. Here’s some of our favorite features...
Easily Editable
Each assessment comes in both PDF & Microsoft Word versions so that you can easily adapt them as needed. This also makes it a breeze to create alternate versions.
Smart & Innovative Testing
At MathLight we include both problem solving and vocabulary on our assessments. Terms are the language of math, and without them, students are easily confused. Including terms and rules on assessments helps emphasize their importance to students, thus cementing their meaning and building a strong mathematics foundation.
Grading Helps
We know you have enough to worry about just grading the tests, so we’ve provided everything we can to make it go as smoothly as possible. No need to work out the problems or figure out the point values - we’ve done all of that for you.
Extra Motivation for Students
The bonus problems included on most assessments are intentionally designed as an extra challenge. Students love bonus points, so why not use that motivation to push them to go further than they thought they could!
"I love this program. It engages the students and helps them follow along in their learning experience.
It is very complete and easy to use....has made teaching my 7th and 8th graders easier, both for me and them."
- Richard B.
From Our Classrooms to Yours
MathLight is created by two veteran math teachers. And you may be interested to know we’re actually a father-daughter team.
Rick Scarfi, the voice & genius behind MathLight’s teaching videos, is a veteran math teacher of over 30 years. One of his biggest strengths (as you will soon see) is his uncanny ability to explain complex mathematical topics in a way that students easily understand.
Not only does Rick have the intangible ability to make challenging concepts appear simple, but he also pioneered the concept of math notes, another fantastic feature you’ll experience in MathLight.
Linda Kardamis taught middle school math before stepping away from the classroom to raise her young children (that’s Rick’s grandkids if you’re following closely.) Since then Linda has founded Teach 4 the Heart which offers book, resources, and online courses for teachers.
Linda shares the same passion and skill for teaching math and is thrilled to partner with Rick to create engaging & helpful curriculum that students and teachers will both enjoy.
