Math Lessons for a Living Education Level 1
Description
In Book 1, Charlie and Charlotte visit their grandparents farm and learn numbers, shapes, place value, adding and subtracting. Along the way, the children also learn about gardening, baby farm animals, nature, family and love. In the first 30 lessons children will learn about numbers 0-9, place value, rectangles, circles, addition, subtraction, skip counting with 2, 5, and 10, telling time with minutes and hours, and more. The last 6 lessons of the book are review.
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 methodology, Math Lessons for a Living Education teaches math through the adventures of a brother, a sister, and their family. Math Lesson Books are designed to be consumable. For Levels 3-6, Answer Keys are in the back.
Levels are designed as one-year courses and each has 36 lessons. Books feature a suggested daily schedule at the beginning with a grid for completion and grading built in. Although the books are titled as “levels,” the levels are loosely based 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. If you are unsure about where to begin, placement tests are available below as well as on each individual level’s category page.
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 such as: contact paper, construction paper, large
index cards, brass fasteners, crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue, hole
punch & reinforcers, flashcard rings, plastic storage box, stickers for
flashcards, pictures from old magazines, poster board, 100 counting items (your
choice), three containers for making the Place Value Village, and snack-size/1-quart/1-gallon
resealable bags. In Books 2 and 3, you will also need a 12" ruler,
indoor/outdoor thermometer, coins for money lessons, and $1 bills. Book 4
requires poster board, a box of business size envelopes, folder for charts,
small counting items, and modeling clay. To get started, simply cut out the
manipulatives found in the back of your book and prepare them before the first
lesson.
The optional K-6 Teaching Companion includes level-by-level goals, scope & sequence, teaching & review tips, resources, games, recipes, and readiness tests with solutions.
