LIFEPAC Math Grade 1 Complete Boxed Set
Description
Let's face it—math is not an easy subject to teach! And choosing just the right math curriculum for your child can be even harder! At Alpha Omega Publications, we'll start you on your way toward a successful homeschool math experience. Teach math basics with LIFEPAC 1st Grade Math and watch your math worries melt away! LIFEPAC Math courses use mastery-based learning along with spiraling review to encourage student success. In this homeschooling math program, students focus on mastery of a single skill, and then move on to learn new skills. This approach builds a strong foundation in basic math skills which paves the way for ever-increasing levels of proficiency. LIFEPAC 1st Grade Math focuses on the introduction of math basics in ten colorful worktexts.
What will your student learn? Topics in this Alpha Omega curriculum focus on skills such as number order, skip counting, measurements, shapes, place value, number words, number sentences, fractions, time, money, using a number line, adding, and subtracting. As your child progresses through this engaging course, a wide variety of activities solidify these principles and skills in your child's mind, creating a foundation for understanding future concepts. Our must-have teacher's guide provides step-by-step teaching instructions for every page of the program, a complete answer key, and lots of ideas for additional activities designed to reinforce important math concepts.
Alpha Omega LIFEPAC Math provides homeschool families a complete, Christian math curriculum that emphasizes skill mastery. Designed for independent learning in grades 1-12, LIFEPACs are student worktexts (ten per grade) that are largely self-instructional. The Kindergarten LIFEPAC Course is teacher-student interactive, and uses two student books rather than the worktexts. A Teacher Guide is available for each grade level and contains the curriculum overview, notes, answer keys, and suggested schedule and teaching guidelines. The Teacher Guides for grades K-1 provide more detailed instruction for grades 2-12, to align with the self-teaching approach. Starting in second grade, the LIFEPAC Worktexts provide more direct student instruction to facilitate independent study. The parents role is to be available for student questions, to administer and grade tests, complete teacher checks, and ensure lesson completion.
Each Complete Boxed Set contains ten LIFEPACs and a teacher
guide. The only exception is the Grade K Boxed Set, which contains two student
books and a teacher guide. LIFEPACs only (no teacher guide) are also available
for use with multiple students. Review and self-tests are built into the
curriculum. LIFEPACs are colorful in the elementary grades, but become less
colorful as the grade level increases. Each set of ten LIFEPACs provides a
year-long curriculum.
You might be wondering, "What's the difference between this curriculum and Horizons Math?" After all, both programs come from the same publisher and follow a similar scope and sequence up to the sixth grade. The main difference, in my opinion, is that Horizons is not self-instructional (written instruction is not included in workbooks). Another difference is that LIFEPACs offer standard practice problems whereas Horizons offers a greater variety of problems (mazes, decoding, etc) as well as standard drills, but LIFEPACs provide many more problems per workbook page.
