Purposeful Design Math Grade 1 Teacher Textbook 3rd Edition

The Purposeful Design Math series provides a strong math option with a solid scope and sequence; pacing like a Singapore approach math program, well laid-out colorful student texts, and biblically themed chapters and courses. There is an excellent balance between problem solving skills using the STAR methodology (Seek, Think, Act, & Review), interdisciplinary STEM activities, and basic algorithms. Scriptural ref­erences, allusions, and passages are frequent throughout the student texts. Created for a classroom, this series can be adapted to the home. The parent/teacher must be willing to commit to a student-teacher interactive approach and should recognize the necessity of choosing some of the offered options rath­er than trying to do everything suggested. Manipulatives are used throughout the series but predominantly in the K-3 books. We have Manipulative Kits assembled for your convenience. If you have purchased the manipulative kit for the previous level of this curriculum, Add-on Kits are available. These kits are just the additional items needed for the next grade level.

The scope and sequence for this series is broad. Basic algorithms, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are covered thor­oughly. Other topics include patterns, number theory, place value, fractions/decimals (intro­duced early), measurement, time, money, geometry, algebra (also introduced early), probability, statistics, and technology (calcu­lator and computer activities). The K-3 soft­bound Student Worktexts are colorful with well-illustrated worksheets that include prac­tice problems, word problems, and review, as well as occasional games and activities. The grades 4-6 hardcover Student Texts are also colorful but non-consumable. The essential Teacher Editions are substantial, providing 2-4 pages of detailed lesson plans for each of the daily lessons. Packed with useful information the TEs have a friendly, easy-to-use format. Online Resources included with the TE provide blackline masters, reviews and chapter tests in pdf. Teacher Edition e-books provide a one-year subscription to a digital TE along with the PDF resources.
