Mathematical terms and concepts can seem so complex and intimidating as students transition from the upper elementary years to Jr High. Katherine Hannon's down-to-earth style and conversational tone sets students at ease and inspires them to approach all those terms and concepts with confidence. She imparts an understanding that each simply describe a useful tool we can put to use in everyday life, history, science, art, music, and more!
Engaging, Conversational Lessons
Principles of Mathematics focuses on mathematical concepts and emphasizes the practical application of it. Students learn both the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of math through engaging, conversational lessons. This approach firms up foundational math concepts and prepares students for upper-level math in a logical, step-by-step way. This helps the student understand concepts, build problem-solving skills, and see how different aspects of math connect.
Incredibly Faith Building
“Every time you solve a math problem, you’re relying on the underlying consistency present in math. Any time you see that math still operates consistently, it’s testifying that God is still on His throne, faithfully holding all things together.” – Katherine Hannon
In Principles of Mathematics Book 1, each lesson and exercise leads the student towards understanding the character and attributes of God through the study of math history, concepts, and application.
Principles of Mathematics Book 1 goes beyond adding a Bible verse or story to math instruction, it actively teaches and describes how the consistencies and creativity we see in mathematical concepts proclaim the faithful consistency of God Himself and points students towards understanding math through a Biblical worldview.
