Teaching Method

Traditional

Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.

Charlotte Mason

A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.

Classical

A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).

Unit Study

A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.

Montessori (Discovery)

A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Other

Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.

Spiral

Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.

Conceptual/Topical

Student-led materials; parent acts as a facilitator.

Medium Teacher Involvement

A mix of teacher-led time and independent student work.

High Teacher Involvement

Teacher-led lessons; may utilize discussions, hands-on activities and working together.

Description

The Student Book (textbook) is the instruction, divided into chapters, then into lessons. Important notes about the curriculum and its use are found in the front of the book. Students will read the lesson in the Student Book and complete the activity page found in the Teacher Guide (sold separately or as part of the Book 2 Set). That's how easy it is to use this curriculum. Don't confuse easy-to-use with over-simplified content. After comparing the content of this course with that of Bob Jones, Saxon, Alpha Omega etc., Principles of Mathematics stays with the pack. It covers all pertinent topics for algebra preparation. While there is quite a bit of reading, the language is fairly easy to read and comprehend (conversational). The text is black and white with examples and illustrations, so may not appeal to your more visual learner. Lessons that have recommended calculator use are marked with a calculator symbol.

Book 2 is considered the pre-algebra portion of the program, so students need to be competent in basic functions of fractions, decimals, percent, and basic geometry. Book 2 assumes the knowledge of content presented in Book 1; so if you aren't sure where to begin, have your student take the placement tests available on our website.

Publisher's Description of Master Books Principles of Mathematics Book 2 Set

Prepare your student for High School success! In this Jr. High math curriculum, Principles of Mathematics Book 2 will guide your student through pre-algebra. Building on a Biblical worldview, your student will learn how the consistencies we see in mathematical concepts proclaim the consistencies of a faithful God.

Students will learn the essential principles of algebra, coordinate graphing, probability, statistics, functions, and other important areas of mathematics. This course is designed to be completed in one year with students allocating 30-45 minutes a day for 4 or 5 days a week. Older students are provided an accelerated schedule.

Mathematical terms and concepts can seem so complex and intimidating as students begin the transition from Jr High to High School math courses. Katherine Hannon’s down-to-earth style and conversational tone sets students at ease helping them to approach new formulas, terms, and concepts with confidence. Students develop an understanding that each concept simply describes a useful tool we can use in everyday life, history, science, art, music, and more!

Engaging, Conversational Lessons

Principles of Mathematics Book 2 focuses on pre-algebra concepts and emphasizes practical application, teaching your student both the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of math through engaging, conversational lessons. This approach firms up foundational math concepts and prepares students for algebra in a logical, step-by-step way that helps them 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 2, each lesson and exercise leads your student towards understanding the character and attributes of God through the study of math history, concepts, and application.

Principles of Mathematics Book 2 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.

Excellent High School Preparation

Principles of Mathematics Book 2 lays a solid foundation—both academically and spiritually—as your student prepares for high school algebra! Students will study pre-algebra concepts, further develop their problem-solving skills, see how algebraic concepts are applied in a practical way to everyday life, and strengthen their faith!

In Principles of Mathematics Book 2 your student will:

Explore pre-algebra
Strengthen critical thinking skills
Discover why we study math—and why it matters to each of us
Transform their view of math through a Biblical Worldview
Approach mathematics as a tool for exploring & describing God's universe
Understand algebraic concepts, history, and their practical application
Fortify their faith
and so much more!
