Math Lessons for a Living Education Level 6 - Revised Edition (3rd Printing)
Description
Welcome to the sixth book in the Math Lessons for a Living Education series! This math series is based on these unwavering realities: God does not separate our life lessons into subjects; everything touches something else. His creation is woven together as a multifaceted, multi-dimensional display of His ingenious creativity.
This book will help students review and master important skills as they prepare to move into more advanced coursework. Designed to present math concepts in the context of real life, the student learns to apply the rules and techniques to solving everyday problems. Through this book students will:
- Identify decimal basics, use decimals, and learn how to work with percentages in the real world
- Study basics of geometry from pairs to polygons
- Develop maps, graphs and charts, units of measure, and more.
Investigate math and develop critical thinking skills through the continuing story of Charlie, Charlotte, Natty, and Hairo. They help bring the elements of character and relationship to the study of math. Children learn best when they can learn through relationships.
Math Lessons for a Living Education takes a living education approach to math, teaching concepts through real-life situations rather than in isolation. From Master Books and inspired by Charlotte Mason’s philosophy, this program uses stories, copywork, narration, and hands-on activities to make math meaningful and memorable. Students follow the daily lives of twins Charlie and Charlotte as they explore mathematical concepts through family adventures and practical experiences.
The program is designed as a 36-week (180-day) course with
five days of instruction per week, but it is easily adaptable to any homeschool
schedule. Each level is consumable and includes a suggested daily schedule,
completion grid, and answer key.
