In Book 4 the family travels through the United States. The twins and friends learn about landmarks, Americas heroes, and work in their garden as they review concepts from Book 3 and do further work with larger numbers, metric measurement, decimals, operations with equivalent fractions, and more. Math Fact Reviews are incorporated into the lessons so that students won't forget foundational math information.
Math Lessons for a Living Education: Level 4 with Answer Key
Description
We often tend to compartmentalize subjects when teaching. However, real life doesn't serve up problems or issues in neat, subject-labeled situations! The Math Lessons for a Living Education curriculum teaches math through a blend of stories, copy work, oral narration and hands-on activities, showing how math is used in "real life"---just like a living math book! Thirty-six weeks of instruction guide students through the content, story, and hands-on activities using inexpensive manipulatives provided/made by the parent.
This book is written to be used by teachers and students together. It includes a suggested weekly schedule (30 minutes per lesson, 5 days per week, 36 weeks) with easy-to-manage lessons that include reading, worksheets, and assessments. Pages are perforated and three-hole-punched so that parents can easily tear out, hand-out, and store pages. Students will read the pages in the book and complete the corresponding section provided by the teacher. Assessments are given at regular intervals. Answer keys are available online.
This fourth-grade resource features the continuing story of twins Charlie and Charlotte, who are learning that life is full of learning opportunities! As students read, they'll be drawn into an adventure that teaches them about fractions and geometry, among other skills.
Covering one year of 4th grade math, by the end of the course students will have reviewed what they've learned in previous grades, and learned about new fraction concepts, metric units of measurement, basic geometry, and averaging.
Grade 4. 350 pages. Perfect Bound with Perforated 3-Hole Punched Pages.
Living education is the real-life application of the things you learn. When this approach is applied to math, it is not taught in a vacuum. Instead, mathematical concepts are integrated into everyday situations. In the spirit of Charlotte Mason’s living book philosophy, Math Lessons for a Living Education teaches math through stories, copywork, narration, and hands-on learning. Throughout the lessons, students will follow the lives of two twins, Charlie and Charlotte, and their family.
Math Lessons for a Living Education is designed as a 36-week or 180-day course with 5 days of instruction per week. However, it can easily be adapted to fit other types of homeschool schedules. Books feature a suggested daily schedule at the beginning with a grid
for completion and grading built in. The books are titled as
“levels,” with these levels are based loosely on grade. Even if you haven’t used the
earlier levels of this series, you can jump in at an appropriate skill
level/topical area for your child. All books are consumable and non-reproducible. Worksheet solutions and all answers are included.
There are no fancy manipulatives for this series - colorful
paper versions are printed in the back of each book, and you'll use household
or other commonly-found items. In Books 2 and 3, you will also need items like
a 12" ruler, indoor/outdoor thermometer, coins for money lessons, and $1
bills.
Available for Levels 1-5, Practice Makes Perfect books offer optional supplemental activity pages, quizzes, and additional manipulatives to help students develop greater mastery of conv. All answers are included. Sold separately, optional Flashcards are available for addition/subtraction and multiplication/division facts. We also offer the optional K-6 Teaching Companion that includes level-by-level goals, scope & sequence, teaching & review tips, resources, games, recipes, and readiness tests with solutions.
