Publisher Description:
Does your homeschool student dread solving area and volume math problems? Does he have trouble remembering how to convert Metric and English measurements? Good news! Alpha Omega Publications has the perfect tool to help you teach him how to solve these math problems with confidence. What is it? It's the LIFEPAC Consumer Math Unit 5 Worktext, made for students who have completed Algebra I and Geometry! This clear, easy-to-follow, elective worktext will give your student a comprehensive study of measurement systems, along with area and volume computations and applications. Useful topics include area of plane figures with straight and curved boundaries, and volume of solid figures with plane and curved boundaries. Designed for high school students, this fifth in a series of ten math-based Alpha Omega curriculum worktexts comes with helpful lesson illustrations, story problems, and easy-to-read conversion tables!
There are more benefits too. The LIFEPAC Consumer Math Unit 5 Worktext comes in a reduced size, workbook style which is very easy to write in—not like those other huge textbooks! What's more, it takes only three to four weeks to complete and gives your student a wonderful sense of accomplishment. Best of all, this LIFEPAC worktext uses consistent reviews, self tests, and one removable teacher-administered unit test to reinforce student comprehension.
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
