Math Lessons for a Living Education Level 2
Description
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.
