Publisher Description:
Since building on a strong foundation is the key to success in math, LIFEPAC Math programs use mastery-based learning along with spiraling review to encourage long-term student success. In this best-selling math program, students focus on mastery of a single skill before moving to new skills. This approach builds a strong math foundation that paves the way for ever-increasing levels of proficiency. In ten engaging worktexts, LIFEPAC 7th Grade Math presents instruction to prepare your student for pre-algebra. Lessons in this Alpha Omega Publications curriculum include integers, fractions, decimals, patterns and equations, ratios and proportions, probability and graphing, data analysis, geometry, measurements and area, surface area and volume, and much more.
In the LIFEPAC 7th Grade Math Set, student worktexts include daily math instruction and review, as well as plenty of opportunity for assessment of student achievement. To encourage individualized instruction, a teacher's guide is included to help you guide your student's learning according to his specific interests and needs. The teacher's guide features detailed teaching notes, a complete answer key with solutions, and lots of ideas for additional activities to reinforce important math concepts. Each LIFEPAC worktext includes concept reviews, self tests, and a removable teacher-administered unit test.
A complete, Christian math curriculum that emphasizes skill mastery. 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 thin, consumable student work texts. They 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.
The spiral-bound teacher's guide contains a curriculum overview, teacher's notes, answer keys, and suggested guidelines (for scheduling, grading, study methods, etc). Daily lesson plans are not included. Teacher guides for grades K-1 provide more detailed teaching instruction than guides for grades 2-12. Why? Because the LIFEPAC curriculum facilitates the independent study approach. Starting in second grade, written instruction is included in each LIFEPAC so that the lessons are largely self-instructional. The teacher's responsibilities include introducing each LIFEPAC, setting a schedule, completing teacher checks, being available for student questions, administering and grading tests, and developing additional learning activities.
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. ~ Anh
