Publisher Description:
Does your high schooler remember the consumer math lessons he's learned the past year? Do you want to refresh past concepts to ensure your student really remembers lessons? If so, Alpha Omega Publications has the perfect worktext for you—the LIFEPAC Consumer Math Unit 10 Worktext! This complete, step-by-step elective worktext includes a comprehensive review of all consumer math lessons learned in Units 1 through 9. Made for students who have completed Algebra I and Geometry, this tenth and final math-based elective worktext completes the LIFEPAC Consumer Math curriculum. Practical and applicable, this homeschool worktext reviews major course themes like creative arithmetic, math operations, family finances, occupational and trade services, and more!
The LIFEPAC Consumer Math Unit 10 Worktext has clear, easy-to-follow lessons that include multiple question formats, integrated subject material, and variety of story problems that simulate real-life situations. This thin, compact worktext can be completed in three to four weeks and will give your student a true sense of accomplishment. Most importantly, this Alpha Omega curriculum includes a full-year review, self tests to reinforce and solidify comprehension, and one removable teacher-administered unit test.
Practical application of math in the areas of family finances, occupations, business, and transportation. Helps students to solve real-life problems in budgeting, banking, and taxes. Boxed set includes ten LIFEPAC workbooks, review test and a solution key (which includes answers to the Lifepac questions), self-test, and test. LIFEPACS ONLY set includes just the Lifepacs, and workbooks and solution key are also sold individually. Prerequisites are Algebra I and Geometry.
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
