Category Description for Math Lessons for a Living Education

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.
